Good Afternoon All,
I'm looking for advice on installing eyelets, I've recently treated myself to a DD magic carpet with the intention of folding it in half and using it as a ground sheet for my inflatable roll mat to prevent punctures and as an admin area prior to sleeping.
If I fold it in half I would like it to be able to be pegged out on the deck to save slipping around. my initial thoughts are to pop some brass eyelets in halfway along the top and bottom straight edge and, with a bit of paracord; make a loop.
The question is this, is an eyelet on it's own sufficient or is there a good way of reinforcing the material around the eyelet so it doesn't pull out?
Thanks in advance.
Ollie
