In winter the cables will contract (shorten) due to the cold. If put up too tight in summer, on contraction, the cables would cause strain on the poles and fittings, and could even snap.

How do you adjust a barking brake on a cavalier?

Well.. first off, does it bark all the time or just when someone rings the door bell? Sorry, I can't resist a typo. I believe you must remove the slack from the cable. Near the rear of the car, the cable joins to form a "Y". This is where there should be a threaded adjustment point. If there isn't enough adjustment left, you may have to replace the cable do to corrosion, wear, or stretching.
