20pc Heavy-Duty Tarpaulin Clips & 6 Inch Bungee Balls Set (Black)
Product description
If you’ve ever had a tarp flap around in wind or a shelter feel less secure than you’d like, a proper fastening kit makes a noticeable difference. This 20pc bundle combines nylon tarp clips with elastic bungee cords finished with a plastic ball for a more positive hold.
It’s the kind of camping accessory you’ll reach for when you’re setting up a tent tarp, a boat shelter, or even fixing down outdoor coverings for day-to-day use. That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-all miracle—depends quite a bit on how your tarp is rigged and where the grommets/edges sit.
Key takeaways
This set is built around simple mechanics: clips hold the tarp in place, while the bungee ball helps lock the tension rather than just “resting” the cord.
You get 20 tarp clips and 20 bungee balls with 6 inch bungee cords. The cords can stretch to 12 inch, which gives you some slack to work with when adjusting tension.
Made from nylon for the tarp clips, and latex with polyester for the bungee cords, it’s designed to be weatherproof and durable in outdoor conditions—at least on paper, based on the materials and stated resistance.
What’s included and how it’s meant to work
This kit is straightforward: use tarp clips to secure the tarp edge, then run the elastic bungee strap through the grommet/support and lock it onto the ball.
A small detail that’s genuinely useful for real-world setups is that you can loop multiple smaller bungees together to make extra length. If you’ve got a slightly awkward distance between anchor points, that flexibility can save you from improvising with knots.
Practical micro-example: imagine a small camping tarp you’re tying down to shield cooking space. Clip one corner firmly, thread the bungee through the nearest grommet, pull the elastic strap tight, and lock it onto the ball. After that, repeat around the edges. If the spacing isn’t perfect, you can link two bungees for the stretch you need.
Where it shines
This is a sensible pick if you want weather-ready fastening for things like tarpaulins and outdoor shelters. The listed use cases include camping, boat shelters, marquees, garden, railing, caravanning, and commercial applications.
Also, because the set is relatively compact and complete (clips plus bungees), it suits people who keep camping or outdoor gear in storage and want a repeatable way to secure coverings each season.
Worth noting: the bungee ball is described as 0.87 inch plastic, which suggests the lock-in point is meant to be secure rather than just stretchy. Still, if your tarp materials are very thick or your grommets don’t line up well, you may find it less satisfying than more purpose-made anchor systems.
What to consider before buying
Before you commit, it’s worth checking how your tarp is set up.
- Do you have grommets/support points where the bungee can thread through?
- Does your tarp edge accept clips cleanly without bending or slipping?
- Is the 6 inch bungee length (with stretch up to 12 inch) enough for the distance between your anchor points?
This set is designed to hold tarps stably, but it can only do so within the limits of your layout. If your requirement is heavy structural tying (rather than normal shelter/tarpaulin fastening), you may want to look at a different category of fasteners.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re buying for regular outdoor use—camping setups, garden coverings, or keeping a boat shelter tight without constantly redoing knots. It’s also a convenient “top up” kit: you can use tarp clips and bungee cord with balls yourself, or treat it as a practical gift for someone who uses tarpaulins and shelters.
You may want to skip it if your setups require specialised hardware, or if you expect to secure a tarp with no grommets and no suitable anchor points. In those cases, clips and bungees can feel a bit limited, even if the materials are described as durable and weatherproof.
Pros
- Nylon tarp clips intended for heavy-duty outdoor use
- Elastic bungee cords made from latex and polyester, described as weatherproof and durable
- Cords stretch up to 12 inch, giving adjustment room
- Ball lock design helps keep tension more consistently than plain ties
- Clips plus bungees in one set means less hunting for extra parts
Final verdict
Should you buy it? If your goal is everyday tarp and shelter fastening—camping tarps, boat shelter flaps, marquees, or garden coverings—this kit looks like a practical value-for-money way to get reliable tension and simpler setup.
It’s not the best match if your tarp rigging doesn’t line up with clips and bungee locking, or if you need something beyond standard tarpaulin tie-downs. For most people using tarpaulins seasonally or routinely, though, it ticks the boxes: materials for outdoor exposure, a workable stretch range, and a locking mechanism that’s meant to stay put.
