FAQs
What is EPDM rubber and why is it better than natural rubber for tarp straps?
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber that resists UV, ozone, and weather degradation far longer than natural rubber. Natural rubber straps dry out and crack after a season or two of sun exposure. EPDM maintains its elasticity and stretches through years of outdoor use.
What does 50 lb safe working load mean for tarp straps?
The 50 lb SWL is the maximum working tension the strap is rated to hold safely during normal use. It is not the breaking strength. The strap can withstand forces well above 50 lbs before failure, but 50 lbs is the DOT-stamped limit for safe, repeated use during transport.
Are Snappi-Hookers better than bungee cords for securing tarps?
Yes. Bungee cords stretch unpredictably and snap back with enough force to cause injury. Snappi-Hookers have controlled 250% stretch with heavy-duty S hooks that hold position. They maintain consistent tension without the snap-back risk that makes bungee cords dangerous on job sites.
Do the S hooks on Snappi-Hookers rust?
The S hooks are plated to resist rust and corrosion. Standard unplated hooks corrode after repeated exposure to rain, road salt, and humidity. The plated hooks on Snappi-Hookers maintain their grip and structural integrity through wet and humid conditions.
What size Snappi-Hookers tarp strap do I need for my trailer?
Measure the distance between your anchor point and the tarp edge at rest. Choose a strap length that is slightly shorter than that distance so the EPDM stretches to create tension. The 9" fits tight spans. The 15" handles most flatbed edges. The 20" and 30" cover wider loads. All sizes stretch up to 250% of resting length.
