#10 Nylon Zipper Chain Kit for Tarp & Tent Repair Shops – 50 m / 164.04 ft + 25 Sliders ST-0013T20-50M25C

For tarp and tent repairs that need more than a ready-made zipper

Repair shops often encounter tarp, tent and canvas-cover zippers that are too long, too short or unavailable as ready-made replacements. This #10 nylon zipper chain kit provides 50 m / 164.04 ft of continuous zipper tape plus 25 sliders, allowing the zipper run to be built around the exact working opening.

It is suited to tent door replacements, tarp enclosures, equipment covers, industrial fabric panels, canvas repairs and custom outdoor textile projects. The chain is cut to the actual zipper route after the seam layout, opening direction and end treatment have been checked.

Measure the zipper route instead of the fabric perimeter

For a replacement project, measure from the point where the zipper starts operating to the point where it stops. Do not use the full outside edge of the tarp or tent unless that entire edge is the working zipper line. Folded hems, seam allowance, binding tape, reinforced corners and zipper flaps can change the required tape length.

Older outdoor textile products may have stretched, shrunk or shifted over time. For that reason, lay the new zipper chain along the intended seam before making the final cut. A short sample installation is useful before completing a large repair.

Use the 25 sliders as part of the job schedule

The included 25 sliders make this kit appropriate for multiple repair jobs, but the number of completed closures depends on the slider configuration of each project. A one-slider closure and a dual-operating-point closure use the same tape stock differently.

Record the opening length, number of sliders, opening direction and end treatment for each job before cutting. This makes it easier for a canvas shop or alteration business to control both tape usage and slider inventory.

Before sewing the final zipper run

• Install a slider on a short chain sample and test movement in both directions.
• Keep both zipper tapes straight and under even tension during sewing.
• Allow for fabric thickness, binding, folded hems and repair patches.
• Decide how the closure will open before cutting the final tape length.
• Apply an appropriate end treatment so the slider remains inside the intended zipper route.

Choose a larger kit for ongoing repair programs

A 50 m / 164.04 ft kit works well for recurring repairs and moderate fabrication schedules. Businesses managing a larger number of tent, tarp or cover projects may prefer the #10 nylon zipper chain set with 200 m / 656.17 ft and 100 sliders.

For smaller repair schedules, the #10 nylon zipper chain set with 20 m / 65.62 ft and 10 sliders may be a better fit.

Buy tape and sliders separately when the stock plan requires it

Some repair shops prefer to maintain zipper tape and sliders as separate stock items. In that case, the #10 nylon zipper chain for tarp and tent work can be used for tape-only purchasing. For added slider stock, use the compatible double-pull #10 nylon zipper slider.

Weather-protection expectations

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

Custom zipper production

For custom zipper production, send the required tape 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 repair or fabrication requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cut this zipper chain to different repair lengths?

Yes. It is continuous #10 zipper chain designed for made-to-length use. Measure each functional opening before cutting.

Does the kit include sliders?

Yes. The pack includes 25 sliders with 50 m / 164.04 ft of nylon zipper chain.

Can it be used for tarp and tent repairs?

It can be suitable when the existing zipper size, tape profile, seam layout and intended use are compatible. Test a short sample before completing the full repair.

Are Black and White tape options available?

Yes. Black - 322 and White - 102 are available tape-color options for this product.

Is this a finished zipper with end stops already installed?

No. This is continuous zipper chain. The end treatment must be planned according to the specific tarp, tent or cover construction.

Will this zipper chain make a tarp waterproof?

No. A zipper alone does not determine the weather resistance of the finished item. Fabric, seams, zipper coverage and overall construction need to be assessed together.
