Frequently asked questions
How do I thread the line?
With 3 holes: up through the first, down through the second, up through the third, then tie the end. Sliding the tensioner towards the stake tightens the line.
The line slips. What now?
Choose a cord diameter 0.5 mm smaller, so the holes grip tighter. With 2 holes, wrap the line around once more.
