Whether you are repairing a worn tent trailer curtain, securing a boat cover, or replacing a missing snap on your RV awning, the Coghlan's 8811 Snap Fastener Kit gives you everything required to get the job done without a trip to a canvas shop. Eight complete nickel-plated screw-in sets and the two tools needed to install them are packed into one kit.
Snap fasteners on RV awnings, tent trailer walls, boat covers, and canvas curtains take a beating from UV exposure, moisture, and repeated use. When they corrode, pull out, or go missing, replacing them individually is straightforward -- if you have the right hardware and tools. The Coghlan's 8811 kit supplies both, so you can handle the repair on-site whether you are at a campground or in your driveway.
Each set uses a screw-in stud design that threads directly into canvas, vinyl, or fabric without requiring a grommet punch or special backing plate. The nickel plating resists light corrosion and blends with standard snap hardware found on most RV and marine canvas applications.
Each set includes a screw-in stud and canvas socket, giving you enough hardware to repair or add up to 8 snap points in a single kit.
Plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for outdoor canvas, awning, and cover applications exposed to moisture and weather.
The included flaring tool sets the canvas socket securely into fabric without requiring additional shop tools or a heavy-duty press.
The rigid setting base backs the fabric during installation so the snap seats evenly and does not deform or tear the surrounding material.
The screw-in stud-to-canvas format is the most common snap configuration for RV and outdoor canvas work. Typical applications include:
The stud half of each fastener is threaded and screws directly through the fabric or canvas from the face side. This eliminates the need to punch a separate eyelet hole and makes the fastener self-retaining on the fabric face. The socket half is set into the mating panel using the flaring tool and setting base to spread the flange and lock it in place. Once set, the two halves snap together and release with standard hand pressure -- the same feel as factory-installed snaps.
