tarp clamps made from black poly pipe

[Frank S]

After getting the billboard tarp on the frame today I needed a way to secure the corners And to hold the 4 layered 4mill plastic on the lower wall Almost every thing I thought of involved clamping something to the legs of the frame by drilling holes through them, which seemed like a lot of unnecessary work and would involve 2 people again. So I started thinking about some plastic clamps I had seen in the past, if I could find a suitable plastic pipe I might be able to make clamps out of it. What I cam up with was a length of 2inch thick wall black polyurethane pipe that had just slightly smaller ID than the legs on the tent frame, I cut it into random lengths then cut a section out of the side of the pieces, sanded the sharp edges then rolled the plastic and the tarp around the legs and hammered the clamps in place Once they snapped in place the grip on the several layers of plastic and tarp is outstanding.
