About this model

This ring and plug are placed on opposite sides of a tarp or fabric and lock together. Holes in the plug allow an attachment point stronger than most store-bought "tarp clips". Great for blanket forts and/or snowstorms. To Use: Secure your rope to the plug with a cow hitch (as shown). Bunch your tarp around this plug and place this bunch through the oval ring. When the ovals are lined up again, they lock together. Carefully pull the tarp taught to flatten it out. The jumbo version has additional clearance for a thick tarp. Only pull along the long axis (as shown) for greatest strength.
