The fixing accessories in this range let you securely install an advertising banner, a bunting strip or an outdoor communication display on a facade, fence or existing structure, without a permanent fitting. They suit retailers, event organisers and local authorities who need to stretch a large format visual while keeping it stable against wind and weather for the whole length of the campaign. Each reference addresses one specific point in the fixing chain: hooking, tensioning, guiding or reinforcing an anchor point, depending on the type of surface and where the banner needs to go.
Large format advertising banners, temporary bunting and outdoor flags aren't fixed the same way: a banner stretched on a rigid frame needs regular anchor points all round its edge, while a banner suspended between two structures only needs a few solid points at each end. This variety of setups explains the range of accessories on offer, each calibrated for a specific use rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Hook-based fixing systems allow quick installation and removal without special tools, a decisive advantage for temporary campaigns where the banner needs to go up and come down within minutes. Double-hook models spread the tension across two points at once, reducing the strain on each eyelet of the banner and cutting the risk of tearing at the attachment points.
Choosing the right accessory starts with the size and weight of the visual to be installed: a small format needs only light fittings, while a banner covering several square metres and exposed to wind needs stronger, more numerous fixing points to spread the load across the whole structure.
Constantly exposed to UV, rain and temperature swings, these outdoor fixing accessories need to keep their elasticity and mechanical strength over time. An accessory that loses tension over time lets the banner flap in the wind, which speeds up wear on the printed visual and eventually weakens the eyelets themselves.
Designed to be reused from one campaign to the next, these accessories simplify the logistics for teams who regularly put up and take down outdoor communication displays: a flat double-hook fixing kit packs away easily between installs and keeps its performance over several seasons of use.
Metal tensioners, ratchet straps, bundled cords: absorption of dimensional variations to preserve the tarpaulin.
Complete kits for standard tarpaulin installation: eyelets, tensioners, suitable wall fixings.
For durable fixing, choose nickel-plated brass eyelets Ø12 mm crimped every 30 to 50 cm all around the tarpaulin. This number of eyelets evenly distributes the tension and prevents the 510 g/m² PVC from tearing in strong winds. The anti-tearing eyelets with wide washers are suitable for large formats exposed on facades, while standard eyelets are sufficient indoors. Reinforce the corners, the most stressed points, with a heat-sealed hem. All our eyelets are treated UV and weather resistant for 2 to 5 years of permanent outdoor wear.
The choice depends on exposure to wind. The elastic bungee cords (Tendabâche type), with rubber hook loops or S carabiners, cushion gusts: their elasticity absorbs shocks and preserves the eyelets on very exposed tarpaulins. The screw tensioners or stainless steel turnbuckles on the contrary offer a fixed and rigid tension, perfect for a taut rendering on a structure or grid. Combine rubber elastic loops on the ventilated sides and tensioners on a rigid frame. All our accessories are made of UV resistant materials for prolonged outdoor use.
The basic rule: a fixing point every 30 to 50 cm around the entire perimeter, without ever exceeding 50 cm between two eyelets on the windy edges. For a 3x2 m tarpaulin, plan on approximately 20 to 24 fixings (eyelet + tensioner or elastic loop). Beyond 6 m², narrow the pitch to 30 cm and add central eyelets to limit flapping in the wind. Always count one S hook or one rubber loop per eyelet, plus 10% reserve. An undersecured tarpaulin tears at the corners: it is better to multiply the anchor points than risk rupture.
The accessories budget remains modest compared to the cost of the tarpaulin. Count a few cents per additional eyelet, around €0.10 to €0.50 for the rubber elastic loop or the S hook, and €1 to €3 for the stainless steel screw tensioner. A complete installation kit (bungalow ropes, carabiners, hooks) for a 3x2 m tarpaulin generally costs between €15 and €40 depending on the quality. Choose UV-resistant and stainless steel accessories: the savings made on low-end products are quickly canceled out by a torn tarpaulin. The additional cost of a durable fixing represents a fraction of the price of the printed tarpaulin.
The fastening accessories (eyelets, S hooks, rubber loops, bungee cords, stainless steel tensioners) are standard items kept in stock: generally dispatched within 24 to 48 hours after order validation. You receive your complete installation kit within a few working days, ideal for finalizing an urgent installation or supplementing existing stock. We recommend ordering accessories and tarpaulin together in order to have a ready-to-install fixing solution upon receipt.

The reliability of an outdoor tarpaulin installation does not depend only on the quality of the printing or the solidity of the support: it depends above all on the good execution of the fixing system, often treated as a secondary detail even though it determines the resistance of the whole to the wind. A tarpaulin stretched with undersized or poorly distributed accessories deforms, snaps and ends up tearing at the eyelets, which requires replacing a still recent visual well before the end of its theoretical lifespan. Investing in suitable fixing accessories from the first installation avoids this type of disaster and actually protects the budget devoted to printing, which generally represents the most expensive part of the operation.
The installation technique differs depending on whether the tarpaulin is fixed on a rigid frame, stretched between two existing structures or placed on a construction site fence: in the first case, a uniform and moderate tension all around avoids the twisting of the visual, while an installation between two distant anchoring points requires a more marked tension to limit flapping in the wind. Excessive tension concentrated on an insufficient number of points systematically weakens the eyelets, which end up tearing under repeated gusts.
A tarpaulin installed on a facade or on an exposed fence undergoes very different constraints depending on the season: prolonged exposure to winter weather gradually weakens the elastic accessories, which lose their reactivity and must be checked more frequently during this period. On a particularly windy site, it is better to provide a greater number of anchor points than normal rather than compensating with greater tension on a reduced number of fixings, which simply shifts the risk of breakage to a single point.
Fixing accessories continuously exposed to the outside gradually lose elasticity and mechanical strength, a phenomenon accelerated by UV rays and temperature differences. A regular visual check, in particular before a predicted period of wind, allows you to spot a tired accessory before it gives way and causes the visual to completely drop. Keeping a set of spare parts avoids having to interrupt a communication campaign for emergency replacement.
Site fence, aluminum structure, masonry facade or existing fence do not offer the same natural attachment points: a rigid fence easily accepts quick hooks distributed over its entire height, while a facade without a planned anchor point often requires adding additional eyelets or using additional structures. Checking the nature of the support before choosing accessories avoids purchasing an unsuitable system which will have to be replaced once installation has started.
The most frequent incidents come from a mixture of accessories of different generations or resistances on the same tarpaulin, which creates unequal points of tension, or from a fastening placed directly on the eyelet without a load distributor, which concentrates all the stress on a single fragile point. Combine several types of accessories, for example hook attachments at the corners and rings reinforcement on intermediate points, better distributes the load and extends the life of the entire installed visual. A final classic error consists of reusing without checking accessories from a previous campaign already worn out by several months of outdoor exposure, while a simple visual check before each new installation is enough to rule out pieces which no longer guarantee reliable hold.
