: Hi everyone,

: I am thinking of an alternative approach to the bungee mounting method. I am
: considering using a "tube" approach. You can take a piece of
: stainless steel tubing and bend it to a U-shape. If you than drill two
: oversize holes at each point where you want to mount a bungee and mount
: the U-shape mount from the underside of the deck so that it ends up flush
: with the outside of the deck, you have a flush mount which is rigid.
: Insert the bungees and your done. I would choose an oversize hole which
: leave a small ring of epoxy around the tubing to keep the wood dry.

: The main drawback is that water will get into these tubes and will evapourate
: slowly with the bungee in it. The diameter of the bungee should be chosen
: that it allows the bungee to move relatively free. It will not be a super
: tight fit. The right material will minimize corrosion.

: The fitting can be made by maching or simply bending stainless tubing.

: Any thoughts on this idea are appreciated.

here's a link to some previous text, the dwg link has changed so hopefully you see something right below.

if not, problems. can you see a dwg here?
