They were fully extended when they were destroyed. What happened was they were fully extended to the ground when the winds blew on the outside side. They started rattling and shaking and broke some kind of rail or lock or something and then they blew up like a curtain would and started flapping. After flapping around for a little bit, they ripped off and flew across the horse arena. Thankfully there were no horses inside the arena. Anyway, I think they should be not under tension or there are no springs at all but only a gear box for the chain hoist system. It should be all steel (I'm crossing my fingers they may be aluminum but I'm not setting my expectations too high) so I can just toss it on my trailer and put them in the steel pile. That is is a perfect world, but with my luck they will be under pressure and be a pain in the a** to deal with. (Knock on wood!!!)
