3/16" x 8' Frame Tent Cable w/ Carabiners

3/16" x 8' Frame Tent Cable with Carabiners

The 3/16" x 8' Frame Tent Cable is a simple, high-impact component that helps keep your frame tent top properly supported - especially when your tent is longer than it is wide. By adding tension across the frame, this cable helps reduce sagging and lowers the risk of water pooling in the canopy during wet conditions.

What This Cable Does

Frame tent cables are commonly used on West Coast style frame tents to add support and maintain peak height. The cable attaches (via carabiners) to the opposite side tee fittings, creating additional bracing that helps the tent top stay tight and clean.

Key Benefits

• Helps prevent canopy sag: Adds support where longer spans can dip over time.
• Reduces water pocket risk: Supports better tensioning to minimize pooling.
• Supports peak height: Helps maximize peak height on West Coast style frame tents.
• Fast install: Carabiners on both ends clip in quickly to the frame hardware.
• Built for repeated use: Aircraft-grade cable designed for event-rental cycles.

Material & Construction

• Cable diameter: 3/16"
• Material: Aircraft-grade galvanized, coated cable
• Length: 8'
• End fittings: Carabiners at both ends

Compatibility & Ordering Notes

• Use case: Frame tents where the overall length is greater than the width.
• Included with frame kits: Cables are included with the purchase of a complete frame kit.
• Replacement part: This item is sold as a replacement and does not need to be purchased with a complete tent.

Tip for Best Results

If you're seeing slight dips along longer tent runs, adding or replacing cables can be one of the quickest ways to tighten the canopy profile and keep your setup looking sharp.
