Do your SNAD’s work well on windy days? I’m gonna use them anyway just because I don’t see any other better option. Www.sailrite.com does have a ‘pull the dot’ snap fastener that would lock in and be solid. But doesn’t have the adhesive backing option. Also has another(better?) option that would fit the existing SNAD’s. YKK snap tie stud. I’m inquiring with Sailrite about them incorporating the adhesive backed option for one way pull the dot snaps. I’ll let you know what they say.

But meanwhile, Do your existing SNAD’s work well on windy days? Thanks, Bob

HI Bob,
The end panels are anchored at the top by the rafter & the bottom by whatever I weight it down with, so there isn't much shear or tension applied. The snaps & snads just keep the gaps closed - haven't had any issues with wind so far .
