Al, I just used a ratchet strap when doing the same thing. You have to be careful because the hooks on the end of the strap can dig into the deck boards, but it worked like a charm.
A ratchet strap is just a long piece of webbing with a ratcheting mechanism that you can use to shorten the length of the webbing. You can generate some pretty serious force with one. Later. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [email protected] Tel: (412) 268-9081
