Footman’s Loop

A footman’s loop is a low profile metal bracket that provides an anchor point on the trailer to secure various sections of the canopy.
Some of the common places they are utilized include:
– The canopy roof ~ To tension the bolt rope end to end.
– Roof ends ~ To tether the roof ends to the trailer when a “C” channel is not practical.
– Skirts ~ As with roof ends, skirts can be strapped to the trailer side via footman’s loops.

The loops fasten with either two rivets or 2 bolts. They only protrude 1/2″ out from the trailer and can accommodate straps up to two inches wide.
