How to Make Tarps With Snaps
- 1). Fold the tarp material into thirds, keeping the edges of the tarp facing out. It is easier to work with when folded. Work on one side at a time and measure out the snap locations. A recommended distance is between 2 to 3 inches between snaps starting at the corner.
- 2). Load the snap setter tool with the snap mount and squeeze the snaps onto the marked distances on the tarp edge.
- 3). Fold in the finished edge and expose another edge of the tarp. Measure and make new distances starting from the corner and place the snaps at the marks with the snap tool.
- 4). Fold the finished edge and expose another edge. Mark and set the snaps. Continue to the last edge and set and install the snaps.
