An arrangement for enabling post-assembly tension adjustment in an elastomeric material application, The arrangement can have a frame structure (20, 22) and a panel (16, 18) of elastomeric material, such as elastomeric mesh, retained to span from a first side to a second side of the frame structure (20, 22) in tension. A tension adjustment assembly enables a post-assembly, selective deflection of the panel (16, 18) of elastomeric material and thus the tension in the panel (16, 18) of elastomeric material. The tension adjustment assembly can, for example, employ a selectively inflatable bladder (28), an extension, and retraction arrangement (60) with a biasing portion (62), a pivoting member (88), a laterally slidable member (84), a roller (100) with a non-concentric pivot axis (100), a deflection member (108) with a tip portion (110) disposed to an outer surface side of the panel (16, 18) of elastomeric material, or a deflection member (116, 122) slidable on an inclined surface in relation to the panel (16, 18) of elastomeric material.
