This instructable will show you how to make very simple tent line tensioners from an old plastic paint bucket. Though I believe it is always useful to know how to tie different knots for backpacking and camping, there is sometimes no substitute for the speed and convenience of these little gadgets.

They’re easy to make, simple to set up and cost next to nothing. You'll need some (scrap-) pieces of wood, around 50 x 20 x 5 mm. Drill three holes as shown in the image of about the diameter of your rope (make them slightly larger). Don't sand the edges, since sharp edges make them keep tension better. There's no need to make them pretty.

2013年12月30日 · I use a taut line hitch on all of the lines on a tent or a tarp, less to keep track of and they work great. Have seen the wood "dog bone" used on lines from time to time, they work good and can be made as needed. The ring looks like it should work good too.

A guyline tensioner is used to keep a guyline taut. You will need a piece of material that is stiff and durable such as stiff plastic or wood. I cut a piece of stiff plastic to 2" x 3/4" and drill three holes bigger then the diameter of your guyline rope. I used paracord for this project.
