This listing is for a pack of 20 Trailer Cover Tie Down Buttons. These rope hooks do not stick out...This listing is for a pack of 20 Trailer Cover Tie Down Buttons. These rope hooks do not stick out as far as traditional rope hooks, reducing the likelihood of catching clothing or other items when walking past the trailer. The simple button design allows elastic or rope to be easily hooked underneath. They are easy to fit and are typically secured with self-tapping screws on trailers with wooden sides, or with pop rivets or small bolts on metal-sided trailers (fixings not included). Made from strong and light black nylon plastic. Suggested maximum elastic size is 8mm diameter.
This guide is for anyone looking to secure trailer covers or tarps efficiently. The AB Tools Trailer Cover Tie Down Buttons provide a low-profile anchor point, minimizing snag hazards. A key benefit is the easy installation and secure hold of elastic or rope. Note that fixings are not included; you'll need to source screws, rivets, or bolts based on your trailer's material.
