how is the quality of the tie downs are they nylon or cloth? Are they reinforced? Thanks

They are actually metal grommets coated black. They have held up in medium wind so far with no issues however I would worry in a heavy storm as there is no reinforced stitching and they are only 1/4th of an inch from the edge of the tarp which doesn't give much room if they do start to stretch out. You can put thin stakes directly though them or use some kind of cordage if you use thicker tent stakes. 7/16th inch inner diameter of grommets according to my ruler. Also looks like they folded the tarp back over itself to form the seam and so the grommets are held punched into two layers of fabric which helps, but there is only one line of stitching on the seam. Hope this helps!

The grommets are reinforced at the corners and appear to be a heavy plastic-like material.

Used the tarp several times, a few times in some strong storms and no sign of damage. The tarp is made out of nylon with other syntheic reinforcements. Tie downs are made out of metal.

unfortunately, the tarp only has grommets and not tie outs. However, I have used it extensively in both wind and snow and have had no issues with any of the grommets ripping out.

I used the tarp for covering my long pile of stacked firewood. I stack the firewood on wooden pallets and tie it down with a long rope by alternating between the grommets and the pallets. The tarp fabric is typical nylon tarp fabric - not too light and not too heavy. I installed it this fall and it's held up well to a couple very windy winter-like days. So far, it's served the purpose of coveriing my firewood at the top and allowing air flow on the sides.

They are steel. I used guy ropes on corners in OK winds and no problem....had it up for a week solid rain and all. Great for what it is. Only advice I'd give is put tarp on 4 corners first then work other lashings on. I really like it.

I'm not sure how much help I can be as it was a gift for my grandson... However, I will say being made of cloth instead nylon, they do not slide around making storage much easier. Sorry I was unable to be of more help.

They are strong nylon and they are looped on the ends, they can twist and bend if needed. I secured them tightly to secure a motorcycle for transport and they really worked well for me.

yeah its like nylon. my son loves these chairs...whenever he uses them everyone asks where'd you get those??

Nylon-but not certain if it was mesh or just smooth like the rest of the fabric. It has long been at grandchildren's houses, so I can't run and check for you. It has wonderful play value, regardless, though!

I think the material is rip stop nylon, it floats nicely but isn't parachute silk. Agree with Marella4, handles are sturdy!

The clamps are made of plastic (nylon?) but are pretty tough...I got them for a project that I needed them for which require the clamping on to a circular structure. After many cycles of clamping on/taking off, the clamps have yet to fail.

Good question. Seems like nylon. The fabric is woven and pretty durable. I do know the 2 back wheels have plastic runners that could be longer to help you get over the concrete curbs. The Fabric running along the bottom between the two rear wheels are starting to fray. Not too bad but it is still kinda early. I really like this set up so hopefully it wont be too bad.

The rope is nylon. I doesn't quite coil up as nice as I'd like but this thing worked perfectly for me this summer. I would recommend.

So far it has been durable. Nylon I think. Our children are two gentle little girls though.

They are steel. On an entirely different note, this is an inferior product and the nylon or plastic strings broke too soon!

The fabric is nylon- like. We just washed it in the bathtub when it needed washed. It is really nice!

they are 100 percent nylon, they are washable, however I hang to dry, as they dry quickly. I find nylon is better not put in the dryer. I wash mine about every two weeks in cold water and a tiny amount of Clorox. They are still like new after two years.

I believe its nylon but its very easy to hold and doesn't slip easily, I found it very useful while training my Bulldog mix to come when called while taking her for walks in the fields behind my house.
