CoolarooShade Fabric Accessories Black Butterfly Clips for Shade Fabric Attachment and Placement, (20 Count)

These clips are awesome. They hold on to cloth of any kind and won't let go. We used them to hold a huge shade on the most windy side of the house and they held up all winter and are still holding. Very good value. Color goes well with our tarp color. Made putting up shade tarps possible for us.

Arrived on time. Works great.

Works well, but need to use pliers to help clamp it together. Also not the easiest to have the shade cloth go through the "teeth", but the clips work well in holding together. The hinge part does break apart from the sun over time, so best to fold the su. Shade over the wire, and clip over it folded so the teeth hold if the hinge ever breaks.

I don’t know what the reviews are talking about them being hard to install or that you need a pair of pliers. I installed 14 of them on a 23’ x12’ shade with my bare hands no problem. I did however use a pair of pliers to grip them together after they snapped in place with my fingers just in case but I don’t actually think it helped at all. Fingers were fine and really easy to install. They held up to a pretty decent wind storm already. Actually the bungee cords I used broke in the wind but these stayed perfectly in tact. The trick to installing them is to just make sure the fabric goes around the little nubs before you snap them. Use your fingers to get the nub side through the fabric before you snap them and you will love them. Well worth the money.

These were easy to use, held the Coolaroo fabric securely, and had sufficient holes and hooks to fasten rope, wire, etc. But I found the Coolaroo fabric too stretchy with these, looked a little sloppy, so I fabricated a frame from wood lathe / strips, wrapped the fabric and stapled it. Much better looking and finished for small panels.

These are easy to use and grab onto fabric very well, preventing tearing of the fabric. Along with a coated wire cable, these worked great to hang our homemade awning.

The clips are impossible to snap closed with your fingers and almost as difficult with pliers. The clips are poorly designed if you want to run the string light wire through the end of the clip as there is not enough space for it to fit. It's not even worth wasting my time trying to remove the ones I installed already so I can return them. A complete waste of money!!!

They call Chicago the windy city, they haven't been to Flagstaff in the Spring! 50-60 mph gusts happen at 6500', sitting in the open, at the base of the Peaks! These clips work! Bit of an application learning curve, but soon you're clicking 'em in, quickly. Use a curved tip needle nose plier and work all projections cleanly through the sunshade before snapping together. Don't be afraid to work the tip of plier through the weave of the material to squeeze, while holding together with other hand.These have held a 6'x30' sunshade, on a curved metal, trellis-like frame, through the worst. They're great!How long they will last, exposed to the elements 24/7/365, remains to be seen, but they're the bomb!
