Plastic Grommet Corners

04/25/2010 10:25 AM

Does anyone know of a wholesale or retail source for these Black, plastic/nylon, tarp corner protectors w/ grommet?

An extensive search has found nothing but snap on repair parts and such.

Thank you.

at $10.00 per set, I think this is too overkill. Although it would work in a bind if i can not find the lighter weight ones i am looking for.

Thank you.

The tarps are made by numerous companies. The corners seem to be very thin but rigid. There is a hole made for a grommet or the entire piece is pressed into the tarp with a grommet machine. I think the rest of the triangle is glued???

They would sell wholesale in high volume to the tarp makers and not even think of selling small volume retail. Therefore, why advertise?
