Grommet Kits
The vinyl, canvas, and poly material more often than not get all the credit and attention in protection. Of course, they are the main attraction. Another important part of most tarps are grommets. Grommets, also know as eyelets, are the vital reinforcing holes in the corners and along the perimeter that allow you to secure the covers by tying or fastening them to the anchoring location. The grommets come in a variety of diameters made from metals such as brass, aluminum, nickel, and stainless steel.
As an accessory, grommets and grommet kits are available in a variety of sizes and metals for users to easily repair damaged ones or insert additional locations. The kits include grommets, a cutting punch, grommet die, washers, and a small cutting board.

These convenient pieces of hardware are manufactured from polymers and can be up to four times stronger than some of the metal grommets. All that is necessary is a hammer to install these.
