Thanks Bub and others who responded. I'm gonna start gathering up
what I need to do this project. I'm sure my neighbor (a fantastic
shadetree mechanic) has a turnbuckle or something I can use to get the
tension up where it needs to be. When you're not super handy
yourself, It's good to have a handy neighbor!

I seem to recall seeing turnbuckles in stock at my local Borg.
Also the wire rope, pulleys and more. Take a look -- you may
get some other ideas browsing that aisle.

If using turnbuckles be sure they're forged loops, not those that are
simply turned ends that can unroll...
