Grommets and edging questions
I am repairing a pretty good shadecloth I had custom made about five years
ago. The thread detereriorated, and the edging and some grommets pulled out. I was able to repair some of it by using some new cloth. But on the corner grommets, three pulled out completely, and the edging and cloth is shot to repair. I could put on a new piece of cloth in a triangle configuration, and put a new grommet, but I still would like to put some edging on there to finish it off. Does anyone know of a source of 2" wide industrial outdoor quality edging, as well as good grommets and a grommet tool kit? I am going to be needing these soon, and I had just as well buy some good stuff in good quantities to keep the individual cost down. Thanks in advance. Steve |

Kay I heartily second that. If Buddy & Lydia can't help you, what you want probably doesn't exist. And I'll bet they can help you. ;) They are both really nice folks and they carry quality stuff in their shop. Sharon -- Never try to teach a pig to sing.

Thanks in advance. Steve Try Kronke Inc in Hayward CA for awning supplies. Most hardware stores have grommet kits, the ones you should get are spur grommets, and Kronke has them. |

Got a grommet kit and a gross of grommets from ahh.biz. American made, and same day shipping. I'll check out Kronke for the trim. Ahh doesn't carry it. It's just like shadecloth, but thicker, and more UV resistant. Steve |
