Versatile Bungee Straps for Quick and Easy Tie-Downs
People use bungee cords or bungee straps for many things, making them ubiquitous items. The most prominent use of Rubber tie-downs are tying down tarps on trucks and trailers.
Bungee cords for tarps used by transporters, movers, flatbed haulers, Container Haulers, and Dump Truck operators. People also know bungee cords as tarp straps or rubber straps, and they effectively use them to tie down tarps on flatbed trailers.
We mold our adjustable rubber bungee cords with 100% EPDM rubber. The rubber Stretch cords are UV resistant and tested for high tensile strength. We provide Shock cords in a wide range of lengths and with galvanized steel hooks for better strength and rust protection.
What are bungee tie-down straps?
Elastic bungee cords specifically designed for tying down tarps make up bungee tarp straps. People typically use them with tarps that cover loads on the back of a flatbed truck or trailer. They test strong bungee straps to ensure they have high tensile strength. Some straps consist of natural black rubber bungee cords, while others use EPDM.
At Mytee Products, we offer several Heavy-duty bungees made of EPDM rubber. This man-made rubber is a great insulator.
It can withstand extreme heat without melting, burning, or giving into dry rot. Heat will not readily transfer through the straps. Our EPDM bungee tarp straps are UV-treated to prevent damage from direct sunlight as well as heat.
We also offer natural rubber tarps straps, which are more suitable for use in cold or moderate temperatures.
Benefits of Using Rubber Bungee
Our flat Elastic tie-downs offer five key benefits.
- Highly elastic bungee cords for tarps are perfect for different load sizes. They stretch over large loads without breaking. Then, they snap back to hold smaller loads tightly.
- Adjustable: You can adjust our 30” EPDM straps. They have slits every 4 to 6 inches. This lets you make the strap shorter and tighter.
- Heat-resistant EPDM rubber tarp straps are great in the heat. If you’re transporting loads in the South, bungee straps will remain intact even in the summer months.
- UV Resistant: Ultra-violet rays can cause damage over time. We treat our rubber tie-down straps to resist this damage.
- High tensile strength EPDM bungee straps are exceptionally strong. This means they are unlikely to break, even when pulled tightly.
Where can I use bungee Cords?
Adjustable tie-downs help keep the tarp over your load secure. However, they should not be your main way to secure it. The BC Trucking Association says that bungee cords can help secure lightweight cargo and equipment. However, users should only use them with a main restraint that has a clear working load limit.
Essentially, that means that Cargo bungee cords aren’t a safe tool to use to secure your load itself. Instead, you’ll want to use a securement method like winch straps or G70 chains, something with a known working weight limit.
You can use rubber straps safely in two places.
The first place to use bungee straps is on the outside of your load. They help tie down a tarp that covers your cargo. This is why people sometimes call bungee straps tarp straps.
The second safe way to use bungee straps is inside your load. You can use them to connect different boxes together.
How to use bungee straps correctly?
To tie down a tarp over a load and keep it from flapping, do the following.
- Find a secure mounting location. Make sure your truck is stable as you load the cargo.
- Drape the tarp over the cargo.
- Attach the S-hook of the bungee strap to the tarp’s D-rings or grommets. Then, connect the other end of the strap to the D-rings or securement slot on the trailer's rub-rail.
- If the distance between the tarp's D-rings and the securement slots on your trailer is small, you may be concerned. You might think the tarp will become loose. To fix this, loop the strap through one of the tarp’s D-rings. Then, secure both hooks on the ends of the strap to one of the trailer’s D-rings.
- For a very tight securement, lace the rubber strap through the bottom row of D-rings on the tarp. Then, lace it through the trailer D-rings like you would lace shoes. Criss-cross the strap through the rings until you reach the end. Finally, secure the hook on the last ring.
What are my bungee strap options?
There are two types of flat bungee straps you can use to tie down your tarps.
- EPDM Straps: These EPDM tarp bungee straps are heat-resistant and are great for transporting in hot weather. We have both crimped S-hooks bungees & regular S-hooks bungees end fittings in this range that do not melt and are suitable for moving items when the hot seasons are near.
- All-Natural Rubber Tarp Straps: These straps are good for general use, and do better in cold weather than EPDM straps. These straps cab be used daily. We have both crimped and plain S-hooks as end fittings in this range.
- Ball Bungees: Fast, flexible tie-downs. Tiedown and hold-down use tarp bungees for light tarps and other gear with simple, easy-to-use loops.
- 6-Arms Spider Bungee: This bungee has six attachment points, which makes it excellent for catching hold of bigger or odd-shaped objects and maintains equal pressure across all points.
- E-Track Bungee Tie Down: Ideal for use in E-Track Systems, these E-track bungee straps ensure safe hold of cargo within trailers and transport vehicles.
- Good replacement hooks such as strong S-hooks and rubber rope hooks, prolong your bungee straps' life. This makes them a smart choice for use over a long time.
Mytee Products has cost-effective black rubber bungee straps to meet your needs. With our EPDM straps, you can choose between straps made here in the USA or straps manufactured abroad.
Questions & Answers
How do you bungee a tarp on a trailer?
To secure a tarp using bungee straps, drape the tarp over the cargo, connect the strap to the tarp using the grommets or D-rings, then hook it onto the trailer.
How much weight can a bungee strap hold?
Bungee straps can hold down a tarp through heavy winds or while in transit, but they are not meant to tie-down loads. These straps are specifically designed to hold down tarps.
Are bungee cords heat-resistant?
Bungee straps are highly heat and UV-resistant. No matter where you are, whether it’s the deep south in the summer or the dry heat of Texas, these straps will survive.
How do I tie bungee cords together?
Bungee cords are very versatile. You can connect bungee cords together by connecting them with their hooks, and if you feel you need a bit of extra strength, you can group them together and connect with another group.

Needed bungee cords, prefer natural rubber so I got me a 50 count box from Mytee. Not much to say about bungee cords unless they break easily or until they last over 6 years like the last bunch I got from another vendor. The hooks are crimped so they won't come off the cords. Seem to have decent stretch.

Best bungees I've come across... don't have shrinkage or become brittle in cold weather like EDPM. Hooks are already crimped and 31" gives you way better options when using parachute tarps as opposed to shorter bungees
