Clam hub shelter question

[jr50]

I set up my Clam X400 thermal hub today in 15-20 mph wind.  My 10yr old daughter and I set it up and anchored it down on 2 sides.  My question is the tether strap vibrates loudly even when I pulled it tight.  It sounded almost like a helicopter flying by.  It was annoying which I can get used to but I’m wondering if it is normal and if there is anything I should be doing differently?

Try taking your strap end and twist it several times and then attach it to your ice anchor. This works on bigger straps. Hope it works.

agree. Put a twist in the strap to stop the vibration. That's what is done with tie downs on a car

X2- will work well for you.

Thanks, a simple solution.  I see loaded trailers with straps twisted, now I get why.

Also, I replace the wimpy straps with actual 2500lb cam buckle straps. Big difference.

Just one more reason why I read this site. Ask a simple question get a simple functional answer!

Did the same as Doctor - I use the cam buckles now.  They are a lot easier to set up and tighten.  Makes twisting them a lot easier during the windy days.
