Alajane Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Am I the only one addicted to bungee cords? These are some of the handiest things ever invented and I use lots of them in transporting my stuff to shows. But is there any way to store them so they won't be tangled? I try to stow them away neatly between uses but invariably I pull out a tangled mass!Now my addiction to peg boards is another story........Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I wish mine always end up in a tangled mess also so I am up for suggestions also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 can you wrap them around a short board and hook the ends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern.scents Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 can you wrap them around a short board and hook the ends?I do something similar to this. I have baker style racks for craft shows and I just stretch the bungee cord between two of the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 We use them with the tent for added anchor, but we just store in a pocket or a plastic tube if not in a hurry. Can't say that we get a knotted mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 not that you would find them this time of year, but my first thought was a plastic Christmas light organizer. You could wrap any size around and hook the ends.huh... you can find anything on Amazon!http://www.amazon.com/Adams-Christmas-9150991734-Light-Organizer/dp/B000HJ7D8Q/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1242390414&sr=8-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Some good ideas here--I always keep them hanging from a pegboard at home and run into trouble when stowing them away quickly while setting up for shows. I just realized that instead of taking a board or something to the show to wrap them around, I could just wrap them around boxes--another "DUH" momeht!!Thanks,Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaylors Kreations Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 my dad is a bungee freak, and being full time in an RV, theres always a million uses for them, but not a lot of space to stow 'em. He's picked up a couple of those tube mailers in a heavier weight cardboard and cut them to different lengths for the bungees. He then strings them from one end to the other on the inside and out, they stay straight and untangled and he can just grab a tube for the length he needs and have as many cords as he needs in that length. The tubes also stack pretty neatly in the stowage bns too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Oh, the mailing tube is my favorite idea yet!! Gotta go find some of those--thanks!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungeeman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I found a great way to store bungee cords. You can see it at thebungeeboard.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyJo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I love the "bungee board" idea.Go to Hope Depot and buy a cheap pegboard. Cut it into a few different sizes.Drill some of the holes bigger to fit the bungees with bigger hooks.Now you have several "bungee boards" and they didn't cost you 20 bucks each plus tax and shipping.Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekeeper_sd Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Cut a piece of 3-4" PVC pipe to just a little longer than the bungee cords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
