Velcro® tape mounted curtains will have a 5/8" loop-sided Velcro strip that is double-stitched to the top binding of the curtain. You simply "peel and stick" a corresponding hook-sided Velcro® tape strip (included in your attachment kit) to your surface. It is best to attach the adhesive-backed hook-sided Velcro® tape strip to a vertical (perpendicular) wood surface like the outside face of a header beam. Adhesive-backed Velcro® tape WILL NOT stick to masonry. See special instructions for aluminum & vinyl siding

Will Velcro® tape hold? Yes. The attachment is difficult to pull away from the center.
The weak spots are the two upper corners of a given curtain panel that need to be reinforced with marine snaps. With marine snaps, the curtain won't have the opportunity to blow open a flap and slowly start a chain reaction where, in a few hours, your curtain would otherwise fall.
Doorways Even though the top of the curtains will not slide open, you can still create open doorways using 2 of our neodymium magnets to pin the curtain back without piercing the netting.
| Stainless steel Marine Snaps can be ordered on the store page. We provide a tool so that you can position the marine snaps exactly where they are needed on any perimeter binding of the curtain. The male snaps are on a 5/8" screw stud and will screw into most any surface.
We describe marine snaps in more detail including a installation video in Sealing Sides. |
