I looked in the PMCA Shop & could not find the Nylon Push Pins ( that are made in the U.S.A) that are used on gourds & tunnels. Does anyone know where to find them ? Thanks in advance, Anthony

Started in 1992 from Older '50-'60s Colonies.Do a web search for "auto panel retainers". No guarantees on where they are made.
These screw/rivet type retainers work better in my opinion for quickly swapping out a porch with a trap:

I saw these two weeks ago when I was looking for gourds. Are these the Push Pins you are looking for?
Let me know if you are not able to open link.

It looks like S&K have changed to nylon screws. I find the porches need re-riveting each year cause the porches droop as the rivets get worn. Maybe these screws will work better.
