#6 Grommet Kit

#6 Grommet Kit for Pole Tent Fabric Installation and Repair

#6 Grommet Kit is a complete installation kit designed for setting #6 grommets into vinyl fabrics, laminated materials, and other similar substrates used in tent construction. This kit provides everything needed to install grommets accurately and consistently, making it a reliable solution for tent rental companies, maintenance crews, and installation teams.

#6 grommets are a standard component on pole tents, specifically at side pole and center pole locations where secure load transfer is critical. Whether used for new installations, fabric modifications, or repairs, this kit supports proper grommet placement to maintain structural integrity and correct pole alignment.

Why Proper Grommet Installation Matters

Grommets at pole locations experience concentrated loads and repeated tension during setup and use. Correctly installed #6 grommets help distribute forces evenly through the fabric, reduce tearing, and support long-term durability. Using the proper grommet size and installation tools helps ensure the tent fabric performs as intended throughout repeated installation and teardown cycles.

Key Features

• Complete kit for installing #6 grommets
• Designed for vinyl fabrics, laminate, and similar materials
• Standard grommet size used on pole tents at side and center pole locations
• Includes all required tools for cutting and setting grommets
• Supports consistent, repeatable installation results

How to Use the #6 Grommet Kit

Step 1: Mark the Grommet Location

Identify and mark the correct grommet location on the tent fabric, ensuring alignment with the pole position and surrounding reinforcement.

Step 2: Cut the Fabric Opening

Place the fabric on the included wood block and use the cutter to create a clean, precise hole. A clean cut helps the grommet seat evenly.

Step 3: Insert the Grommet

Place the #6 grommet through the opening, aligning both grommet halves on either side of the fabric.

Step 4: Set the Grommet

Use the die setter to roll and secure the grommet in place. Apply firm, even force so the grommet locks without damaging the fabric.

Step 5: Inspect the Installation

Confirm the grommet is fully set, evenly rolled, and free of sharp edges. Proper installation should support the fabric without distortion.

Usage Notes

The #6 Grommet Kit is intended for applications where #6 grommets are specified, particularly at pole locations on pole tents. Always verify grommet size and placement before installation. Use controlled force when setting grommets to avoid damaging reinforced fabric areas. Proper installation helps maintain fabric strength, ensures correct pole seating, and supports long-term performance across repeated tent installations and teardowns.
