#10 Nylon Zipper Chain Set for Tarpaulin & Tent Workshops – 50 m / 164.04 ft + 25 Sliders ST-0013T20-50M25C

A practical #10 zipper-chain quantity for repeat workshop work

This set provides 50 m / 164.04 ft of #10 nylon zipper chain with 25 sliders. It is designed for tarpaulin and tent workshops that complete several made-to-length closures during the same production period. Instead of maintaining many pre-cut zipper lengths, the workshop can cut the required zipper route from continuous chain.

It is particularly useful for tarp panels, tent openings, equipment covers, awnings and other textile assemblies where closure lengths change from one job to another. The zipper chain should be measured against the functional opening, not against the entire outer edge of the finished cover.

Measure the working opening before creating the final zipper length

Measure from the point where the zipper needs to begin operating to the point where it must stop. Seam allowance, folded hems, edge binding, reinforced corners and end treatment all affect the final chain length. The exterior dimensions of a tarp or tent panel may include areas that are not part of the actual zipper path.

A short trial layout before cutting helps prevent length loss in repair work. Older tarp and tent panels can stretch, shrink or shift over time, so the old zipper should be used as a reference rather than treated as an automatic cutting measurement.

Plan tape consumption and slider allocation together

The 25 supplied sliders support multiple closures, but the final number of finished zippers depends on both opening length and slider configuration. A standard one-slider closure consumes a different amount of slider stock than a closure designed to operate from two positions.

Create a simple cut list before production: list each project, required zipper length, opening direction and slider requirement. This makes it easier to use the available 50 m / 164.04 ft of chain efficiently and avoid finding that slider stock is insufficient after the tape has already been cut.

Checks before sewing the zipper chain

• Test one included slider on a short chain sample before cutting the final length.
• Keep both zipper tapes parallel while sewing to avoid twisting along the closure line.
• Allow for tarp thickness, folded hems, binding tape and reinforced sections.
• Confirm the opening direction before placing the chain on the panel.
• Use an appropriate end-finishing method so the slider stays within the intended zipper route.

When should you choose a larger or different zipper option?

The 50 m / 164.04 ft set is a balanced quantity for recurring workshop jobs. For larger scheduled production, the #10 nylon zipper chain set with 100 m / 328.08 ft and 50 sliders may be more suitable.

This product is a nylon zipper-chain system. When a job specification calls for molded zipper teeth, coated tape or another closure construction, select the appropriate zipper family rather than choosing only by length. A T9 molded-plastic zipper-chain set can be evaluated where a molded tooth structure is required.

Custom zipper requests

For a custom zipper request, share the required chain length, zipper size, tape color, slider configuration, estimated quantity, intended textile application and any sample or reference. This information helps establish the appropriate zipper-chain and slider arrangement before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a ready-length zipper?

No. This product is continuous #10 zipper chain supplied in a 50 m / 164.04 ft set. It is cut according to the required project length.

Are sliders included?

What zipper size is this?

This product should be listed as a #10 nylon zipper chain set.

Can it be used for tent or tarpaulin repair?

It can be suitable when the existing zipper profile, sewing layout and intended application are compatible. Test a short section before completing the full repair.

Are end stops included in the set?

The stated pack content is zipper chain and sliders. The required end-finishing method should be selected according to the finished tarp, tent or cover construction.

Does this zipper chain make a tent waterproof?

No. A zipper chain alone does not determine the weather performance of a finished product. Fabric, seam construction, zipper coverage, drainage and workmanship must be assessed together.
