I wrap mine around the post/frame. First I fold up the stand offs, then starting just beneath the second set of stand offs I wrap from top to bottom until I get to the folded up set of third stand offs, then make my way back up the post, ending just below the second set of stand offs, then I pull out one of the stand offs and tuck the elastic cord in and push the stand off back in. Takes me 30 seconds per strap. I can post a pic later if you want.
