They need to be taught slight movement 1/8 to 1/4" when pressed in centre of span with a finger on short belts, never drum tight, if likely to get very cold freezing in future say unheated shed then leave slightly looser if warm when installing allowing slight shrinkage.

Cheers that's what they are now.
