With the ribbon, I was able to loosely tie it just enough to keep the pole from sliding to the side, yet keep very little tension on everything. At one point I did try tying it down tight but I could see it would have ripped right out trying to pull that pole up 4" to the top.
Once I get the poles to the proper length, I'll be good to tighten the ribbon all the way. And it's literally tying a shoe, one time and it's done, so I'm fine with that.
