Homax Products 6025 CinchTite Peel 'N Stick Tarp Zipper Door 7'

Just installed the zipper to my greenhouse door. It was quick and easy to do, and will make carrying trays and pots of plants in and out much easier. I will also be able to zip or unzip as much as needed to control heat and airflow. Time will tell how long it lasts, but this is a temporary greenhouse, so as long as it gets me through this spring/summer it's worth the price.

I have a temporary workshop I built out of 1-1/4" PVC and a combination of 2 mil (3 walls and the ceiling) and 6 mil (floor and zipper wall)in my garage as a temporary sanding area for random projects. The whole thing breaks down for storage when not in use, and I use these zippers for that workshop. Considering how much use it gets, I would say they are made good enough for any type of normal use.My friend asked me to purchase two for him at the same time I purchased mine, and we use his as doors in plastic walls we have been creating as we move from room to room cleaning the pop corn off the ceilings. These zippers get a lot of use and yet we haven't had one fail yet.Note: These aren't unbreakable, so use common sense when zipping and unzipping, and DON'T EVER force a zipper, regardless of what it is attached to. If it isn't zipping properly, stop, see what is jamming in it, fix it, and get back to using it...forcing it just makes it worse.Note: A little something custom to make life easier for those who have bad luck with zippers and anger issues because of it. After setting up your wall (with NO cuts in it, just a sealed wall that you can't pass through), you will remove a few inches of tape at the top of the zipper, place the zipper at its 7' height, stick the top to the plastic, and then peal the backing off underneath while keeping the zipper tight with the same hand that is pulling off the backing (takes a little skill, but it will make sense when you try it), and with the other hand you press the zipper against the plastic to make the seal. Once done, open the sipper (it is closed out of the box), and use a razor blade to cut right down the middle (between the two sides of the now open zipper). Here is the trick to making life easier. So that you don't jam up the zipper with the backing you just cut (especially if the cut is wavy instead of perfect), take your razor blade and CAREFULLY cut off a little of that middle backing from the top all the way down to the bottom on both sides (if this doesn't make sense, it will when you use the product and get to this stage). What this does is remove the portion of material that might jam into the zipper mechanism when using it, creating loss of hair, possible cursing, possibly a broken zipper for the forceful types, and ultimately a loss of productivity from troubleshooting your door and or the cleanup from having a non working door due to the broken zipper that now allows dust and such to escape into areas you are protecting.

We're in LA and decided to cover a gazebo for the winter to be a greenhouse. The zipper door was the final touch - it worked perfectly on the tarp material. We got it installed just before the freeze. Despite the rain that followed it is still hanging in there.My only suggestion is to make another one with an open end (like a windbreaker), not a closed one, and we could use 3 more to separate and store our panels in summer.

I've been using these for doors on my portable greenhouses, and they do a good job and last about two seasons outside. While I thought what would do them in would be the tape part losing its grip, it's the zipper itself that gives out: both the metal part and the plastic teeth. But it's cheap, and quick to install. I'm about to replace the first one I used and because of the ease of use wouldn't consider any other option.

We used this on our greenhouse and it has held up very well!

I got four of these zippers because I was building a tarp-covered shed to house my lawn tractor. They stuck down easily to the tarp, but also were easy to pull off and move around. TOO EASY. Because I was using this for outdoor purposes, I reinforced the zippers with double rows of stitching. I can see if you were just using them for temporary plastic tarps in the house or workshop, the stickiness would be fine. But for anything beyond that, sewing is a must. Still, the adhesive was very helpful in getting them positioned for the sewing.One of the zippers broke the first time I zipped it, but that was my fault for having the tarp over the frame I'd built just a little too snug. I was able to add a gusset to the tarp to loosen it, and then get the zipper back on track. It works fine now. They all do. And having these long zippers is perfect for my use. I give them a three for the weak adhesive and the fact that one popped so easily. But I would buy them again if I needed them.

I am in the process of major kitchen re-do (relocating the wall). I know this job will take several weeks since it is DIY project. Since I used this zipper door on tarp as room divider between family room area and kitchen, dust from sanding drywall and the construction materials stayed pretty much in the kitchen area. This zipper door allows me to retire into cleaner room at night. Backing tape on zipper is strong enough for several people to go in and out between the 2 areas. So far, it's been several days and zipper door still doing its job.I made a mistake of cutting the tarp before taping the zipper door first on the tarp. (this is the results of not reading the instruction first) and installation took much longer than it should.So for those new to this zipper door, attach zipper first before cutting the tarp or better yet, read the instruction. :)

I should have listened to the reviews. I bought 2 of them just in case the first broke. Well the first one right out of the box they didn't even have the cloth sewn to the tape....and of course I didn't realize it until I had already stuck it to the tarp. Removing it was a snap as the tape is not sticky enough so i was able to pull the whole thing off and throw it in the trash.....on to the next one. Worked for about 3 days and has since started falling apart on it's own. Should have just spent the money on a good one. Can't believe they are still making these.
