A fabric fastening kit for fastening a piece of fabric to a rigid structure. The fabric fastening kit is comprised of a strip of netting material having a nominal width and a plurality of opened meshes, and a longitudinal pronged element having a nominal thickness, a surface, a backside, a foreside, and a plurality of juxtaposed prongs defined within that planar surface. Each prong has a narrow tip, a wide base and a length between the tip and the base being at least equivalent to the width of the base of one prong. The pronged element is attachable to a rigid structure. The strip of netting material is attachable to the pronged element and is also attachable to the margin of the piece of fabric to be fastened to the rigid structure. Each of the meshes of the netting material has a perimeter which is at least twice as long as the total of the width of the base of one prong plus the nominal thickness of the prong, whereby when the pronged element is mounted on the rigid structure, the netting material is repeatedly tangentially attachable to and removable from the pronged element without mangling the netting material. In another aspect of the present invention, the pronged element has a spacer means mounted on the backside thereof for spacing the prongs from the surface of the structure when the pronged element is attached to that structure.
