Actually what you need to do to make it tight and stay tight is to wet it down real good, totally soak it then re-wrap it around the pole as tight as you can, nailing it every few rings. Then when it dries it will shrink and be tight forever. If you don't wrap it wet, it will always stretch.
Hope this helps.
