The common problem was that the grommet would always rip out and they were almost never located where needed for an anchor point.<\/p>\n<p>All sorts of natural items as well as different types of fasteners were used. Most were not worth the time, money or effort. Some worked better than the grommets but only for a little while before damaging the material.<\/p>\n<p>Finally the decision was made, there had to be a better way. That\u2019s when the &#8220;Tarp Buddy&#8221; was created and patented.<\/p>\n<p>We love the outdoors. We like to camp, backpack, and hunt. We have used tarps and other sheet-like materials for hobbies as well as on the job. We knew we wanted to create a fastener that not only would be the strongest fastener out there as well as providing the longest longevity for the material and the fastener, but we wanted to combine the worlds of camping, backpacking, hunting and tarps.<\/p>\n<p>The Tarp Buddy opens up an entirely new world of how tarps and other sheet-like materials can be used.<\/p>\n<p>Whether for personal, business, military, or FEMA, the Tarp Buddy has you covered.<\/p>\n<p>US Patent 9,874,039 B2<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/TB-Table-Top-Advertiser-8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3585\" src=\"https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/TB-Table-Top-Advertiser-8-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"TB Table Top Advertiser 8\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/TB-Table-Top-Advertiser-8-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/TB-Table-Top-Advertiser-8-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/TB-Table-Top-Advertiser-8-150x194.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Stars-Limited-Only-By-Your-Imagination-copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3573\" src=\"https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Stars-Limited-Only-By-Your-Imagination-copy-300x60.jpg\" alt=\"Stars- Limited Only By Your Imagination copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Stars-Limited-Only-By-Your-Imagination-copy-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Stars-Limited-Only-By-Your-Imagination-copy-1024x206.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tarpbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Stars-Limited-Only-By-Your-Imagination-copy-150x30.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Tarp Buddy, LLC Made in the USA Tarp Buddy, LLC is the provider of the Tarp Buddy.
