Hi,
I'm wanting to add some magnets to my DCF tent for lightweight convenient door closures (when the weather is nice.
Looking for something similar to the ones found on tarp tents.
Are they just rare earth discs?
Cheers,
Pete

'Alpine kiwi plexamid youtube' I think he tells you which ones he used. Cheers

Not sure what others use but I glued some neodymium magnets into a DCF tent bag (more like a tent wrap, groundsheet thing).
Only used tiny ones, perhaps 7/8mm across but can't see much downside of going bigger (especially in a high tension use).

I've found some neodymium discs that are 1.5mm thick and 6mm across. They might do the trick
