20 m / 65.62 ft #10 Nylon Zipper Chain Kit for Tarp & Tent Repairs – 10 Sliders ST-0013T20-20M10C

Make the zipper length fit the repair, not the other way around

Tarp and tent repairs often need a zipper length that is not available as a ready-made product. This #10 nylon zipper chain kit provides 20 m / 65.62 ft of continuous tape and 10 sliders so repair shops, canvas workers and DIY users can create the zipper around the real size of the opening.

It is suitable for tent doors, tarp enclosures, equipment covers, outdoor storage covers and other textile closures that need a made-to-length solution. The chain should be cut only after the working zipper route and required end treatment have been confirmed.

How to measure a tarp or tent zipper replacement

Measure from the point where the zipper starts working to the point where it needs to stop. The full outside edge of a tarp or tent is often longer than the actual zipper path. Folded hems, binding, reinforced corners, seam allowance and cover flaps can all change the required chain length.

When replacing an older zipper, do not assume the removed piece is automatically the right cutting measurement. Fabric panels can stretch, shrink or shift with age. Lay the new zipper chain along the intended seam before making the final cut.

Use the included sliders as part of the repair plan

The kit includes 10 sliders for the supplied #10 zipper chain. Install one slider on a short sample section before beginning the full repair. This helps identify alignment problems, uneven tension or an incorrect opening direction before the zipper is sewn into a large tarp or tent panel.

For larger repair schedules, the #10 nylon zipper chain set with 50 m / 164.04 ft and 25 sliders offers a higher-volume option.

Before sewing the final zipper run

• Test slider movement on a short sample before cutting the final length.
• Keep both zipper tapes aligned and under even tension during sewing.
• Account for canvas thickness, binding tape, folded hems and reinforced sections.
• Decide the opening direction before applying the chain to the panel.
• Choose an end treatment that keeps the slider inside the intended zipper route.

When to buy chain and sliders separately

Some repair shops prefer to hold zipper tape and sliders as individual stock items. In that case, the #10 nylon zipper chain for tarp and tent work is a suitable tape-only option. For additional slider needs, use the compatible double-pull #10 nylon zipper slider.

Water protection expectations

This is a nylon zipper-chain system for textile closures. It should not be described as fully waterproof or water-sealed. Weather performance of a finished tarp, tent or cover depends on the shell material, seam construction, zipper flap, drainage path, panel design and workmanship.

Custom zipper production

For custom zipper production, send the target length, zipper size, tape color, slider configuration, estimated quantity and a tarp, tent, cover or sample reference. These details help match the zipper construction to the real repair or production requirement.
