Review on 🧰 Grommet Kit - Lord Hodge 1073A 1 by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for shading fabric (Coolaroo)

Custom sized shading fabric required for my custom pergola. Since I built the pergola myself, I thought I could do that too. Bolt of Coolaroo Shade Fabric Coolaroo Shade Fabric Heavy 84% to 90% UV Block 6ft x 15ft Heritage Green and with a little ingenuity these bushes seem to work. These bushings look very nice and are made from solid brass so they will last a long time. like a fabric with a 10-year color guarantee. (No, I'm not a Coolaroo seller!). They also stick well through 3 layers of shading fabric - although it took a few taps to punch the hole, just make sure you don't damage the surface you're working with (like putting something under the small piece of wood you're using give them to you ). ). Other products have a brass finish and I'm wondering when the finish will crack and rust will start (maybe not for long? Hmm, maybe I'm too worried). the size. Also, some Lord and Hodge product descriptions clearly state the size by referring to the inside diameter, while others don't, making things even more confusing! Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like I'll have to buy a new "kit" instead of just refilling the bushings (let me know if you find a refill that size!).

Pros
  • Easy to follow instructions
Cons
  • No instructions
