FAQs
What tools do I need to install the tie-down buttons?
You will need a screwdriver or drill for self-tapping screws (for wooden sides) or a rivet gun or appropriate bolts/nuts for metal sides.
What size of screws or rivets should I use?
The size of screws or rivets will depend on the thickness of your trailer's side panels. Choose fasteners that are long enough to provide a secure grip but not so long that they protrude excessively.
What is the suggested maximum elastic cord diameter?
The suggested maximum elastic cord diameter is 8mm.
Are the fixings included?
No, fixings are not included. You will need to provide your own screws, rivets, or bolts.
Can these buttons be used on any type of trailer?
These buttons are designed for trailers with wooden or metal sides. They may be suitable for other trailer types, but ensure proper installation.
How many buttons do I need?
The number of buttons needed depends on the size of your trailer and the desired level of security for the cover. Distribute them evenly along the sides for best results.
Troubleshooting
Button is loose after installation.
Check and tighten the fasteners (screws, rivets, or bolts). If the hole is stripped, consider using a larger fastener or filling the hole and re-drilling.
Button breaks or cracks.
Replace the damaged button with a new one. Ensure the correct type and size of fasteners are used during installation.
