(8) Tyvek Tarp & Banner Self Adhesive Grommet Tabs

I've got a different use altogether. Happy with this solution to attach wires to backing board for 9x12 framed paintings.

I like these and would buy them again. However, the adhesive cannot be trusted for the purpose of supporting a tarp. This is particularly true in the rain, as the adhesive seems to soften when wet.My solution was to sew the grommet tabs to my Tyvek tarp, and then cover the stitching on both sides with Tyvek tape that extended several inches onto the tarp. Because Tyvek is weakened significantly with sewing stitches, I used a long stitch and only stitched the periphery (no bar-tack). Then as an added layer of security, I used the Tyvek tape. That way even if the tarp material is weakened, the load can be transferred from the grommet tab into a part of the tarp with no stitch holes in it. This also adds additional strength to the tarp corners, which may be prone to tearing.

These are very helpful when securing a large tarp. If the eyelet holes in the tarp are too few or just not in the places you need them, just adding one of these solves that problem. Nice that they come in a variety of colors to match your tarp.

The grommets tore from the tape on the first use. It's just grommets in duck tape. Don't waste your money
