Title: Cab Blanket
Post by: pdl2win on June 20, 2020, 05:43:33 pm
A few weeks ago I posted a question about how folks with the entertainment center attach a blanket to ward off the cold/heat from the cab.

I decided on using an extendable shower curtain then I used spring clips to attach the blanket.  Just used this method for a week and it worked

"...then I used spring clips to attach the blanket."

Wow, that's as good as any I've seen. But unfortunately I do not have the strength in my hands for those spring clips. I know because I have a set, large to small.

I might take your idea one step further... attach a row of grommets along the upper end of the blanket and use ordinary shower hangers to suspend the blanket, how about?   ;)

Like these, at any hardware store:  Shower Curtain Ring Set - Bathroom (https://www.signaturehardware.com/shower-curtain-ring-set.html?g_acctid=7220359250&g_campaignid=2015478862&g_adgroupid=69545183977&g_adid=353987727090&g_keyword=&g_keywordid=pla-631226968514&g_adtype=pla&g_merchantid=387294&g_productchannel=online&g_productid=233456&g_partition=631226968514&g_network=g&g_ifproduct=product&g_ifcreative=&gclid=CjwKCAjw57b3BRBlEiwA1ImytphS1tfQi4e2BD2rFCDDOmG62UzGTm3CJK-ViO-LCF_iiNIHv_8qNBoCamoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)

Steve, perhaps something like this would work for you?

Steve,

If clips or clamps are too stiff or difficult to compress and the cover/divider is single purpose, perhaps several strips of Velcro can be stapled to its leading edge.

The Velcro can be pressed together or released very easily.

Some staplers are power assist. Amazon.com : Swingline Electric Stapler, Compact, Half Strip, 20 Sheet... (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002M9KFD4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZsQ7EbG4J5TE6)

I use my stapler for all kids of projects. Velcro doesn’t stick to fabric for long but a couple of staples will convince it to stay in place.

Wish I'd known about those before I bought the ones I have, oh so many years ago!

I also liked the Velcro method although I'd probably go for Dual Lock instead of the regular stuff and the staples would insure a good bond.  ;D
