    Fabric Grommets
    3D CAD models available

    Add a protective metal ring to a hole so rope and cable don’t tear your tarp, cover, or curtain. To install, strike a cutting punch with a mallet to create the hole, then set the grommet using either an installation punch or a press. All of these grommets can be used outdoors. Installation tools are sold separately.

    Brass—Add a bright finish to your fabric.
    Nickel-Plated Brass—The nickel gives these a more muted, silvery look than our other brass grommets.
    Aluminum—Keep large tarps and other surfaces lightweight where you're installing lots of grommets.
    Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant fabric grommets, they last the longest when exposed to sun, rain, dirt, and grease.
    Grommet Trade Size—Make sure your grommet, hole, and installation tools have the same trade size.

    Fabric Grommet Kits
    3D CAD models available

    Kits include grommets of a single size and all the tools you need to install them. The grommets add a protective metal ring to a hole so rope and cable don’t tear your tarp, cover, or curtain. Strike the cutting punch with a mallet to create a hole, then set the grommet using the installation punch and die set.

    Reinforcing Fabric Grommets
    3D CAD models available

    These grommets handle thick materials and strain from fabric that’s frequently pulled or stretched. An extended neck gives them a stronger hold than our other fabric grommets. Strike a cutting punch with a mallet to create the hole, then set the grommet using either an installation punch or a press. Installation tools are sold separately.

    Self-Piercing Fabric Grommets
    3D CAD models available

    Save time installing grommets in tarps and covers without precut holes. Set grommets in a bench-mount manual press with die set, and the sharp neck of the grommet cuts the material as you press it into place. Grommets with trade size 0, 1, and 2 require a die set adapter for installation. Installation tools are sold separately.

    Snap-In Fabric Grommets
    3D CAD models available

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Grommets. Snap-In Fabric Grommets.
    These are the only fabric grommets we sell that don’t need setting tools. Just snap the two parts into a pre-cut hole. The grommets add a protective plastic ring to the hole so rope and cable don’t tear your tarp, cover, or curtain. They grip securely enough for most jobs, but for a stronger hold in high-strain applications, choose our metal grommets instead.
    Polycarbonate—Unlike polypropylene grommets, these grommets keep their strength and impact resistance at sub-freezing temperatures.
    Polypropylene—These withstand a wider range of chemicals than polycarbonate grommets, but they can't handle the same extreme temperatures.
    Grommet Trade Size—Make sure your grommet, hole, and installation tools have the same trade size.
