Zipper for DIY grow tent?

[Shady Smoka]

Does anyone where I could buy a zipper that would stick to poly (panda plastic). I wanna build a tent but have hit a speed bump with keeping the door sealed nicely. I know Velcro would work, but for how long. Thanks guys

you can get a 7' stick on tarp zip up i think its called at lowe's,home depot or most hydro stores for about $10.you'll still need to put a flap over it to lightproof it so velcro is still on the list lol

Thanks. I'll go wandering lowes again. I guess it's near the tarps?

I saw them near the paint spray (and bug spray) suits at Home Depot. Literally right next to them. It's a paint related product, so go to the paint section and ask them.....

depending on the size tent you're making, I would get two of them so that you can put them on either side of a roll up door. They dont come apart at the top of the zipper so you can only spread the bottom, which can be annoying if you're going to be leaning into the tent to work.

Those tarp zippers are always near the tarps ate home depot, lowe's sometimes puts them all over the store but usually just in summer.

Growshops will have them too but for $3-4 more.

Yup. The double zipper thing is actually on the box. As soon as I saw it I picked up a second one - that thing sells itself twice!
