> That's exactly what they are like. A word from a determined hoop house
builder (perhaps you remember that long monologue on my hoophouse
diseaster?) I used these elastic cords. The idea seemed great, looked
wonderful in the pics, but if you are in a windy area they don't work. I
have used them in areas where I had wind protection and the whole set up is
a wonderful system! But be cautious if you get wind, your're cloches could
be acres away. Unfortunately I'm no longer in a very protective spot and
it's steel frame for me.
