Yachting suppliers sell bungee cord but maybe that's not such a useful suggestion if you live in Wyoming. I also used a rope cleat intended for a yacht as a way of making the tension easily adjustable.

Peter I like your thinking, borrowing from one industry to repurpose for another use.

I bought bungee cord for my sailboats.

Many diameters and colors available. They deliver to Wyoming I'm sure.

Ken, I began flying with bungee cord before replacing it with springs which work well for the intended purpose.and seem to require less attention over time.
