The grommet panel must be a minimum of 70 inches wide, between the side hem seams, to provide just slightly more than 1.5 times fullness on the 40-inch space.
A grommet is a special type of sling which forms a continuous loop. Grommets either have a wire rope body or a body made up of six strands which are laid helically around a strand core. Either a hand-splice or a mechanical splice then forms an endless sling body. The minimum circumference of the sling is 96 times the grommetâs body diameter. Rope-laid grommets are also available.
