This is how the radial support cords connect to the center
post. There is very little stress on the center post as the net
forces of the cords cancel each other.
Support Cords
This is how the support cords
connect to the end of the spreaders.

Specially engineered aluminum wire
guides with rubber cushions ensure
that the wires are not abraded with
movement caused by wind.

strong cord showing the Dacron covering and

Specializing in Hexagonal Beams for the DX Enthusiast
The support cords are made of Kevlar with a UV resistant Dacron covering and are rated for over 700# strength to hold the spreader
arms in position. There are seven long cords and one short one all precisely measured and fitted with stainless fixtures ready to
slip on with no knots or adjustments needed.

made, extra tough support cords
