Product Information

Full details

The SolaDirect 200 GSM heavy-duty tarpaulin and bungee cord bundle is designed for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and trade professionals seeking a robust, weather-resistant solution for covering and protecting outdoor assets. Featuring a durable, UV-resistant polyethylene construction and reinforced hems, this sheet provides excellent shielding for timber, garden furniture, and building materials against the elements. While the included 10-meter bungee rope offers great flexibility for securing, users should be aware that high-wind environments may require additional tie-down points beyond the standard perimeter eyelets to prevent billowing or displacement.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this tarpaulin be used for roof repairs?

Yes, it provides temporary emergency protection against rain, but it is not a permanent replacement for roofing materials.

Is the material fire retardant?

No, this polyethylene product is not fire retardant and should be kept away from open flames and high-heat sources.

What is the diameter of the eyelet opening?

The eyelet internal opening is approximately 12mm.

Does it come in other colours?

The SolaDirect range for this specific 200 GSM heavy-duty model is graphite grey.

Can I wash the tarp in a machine?

No, you should clean it by hand using a hose or a bucket of water and a soft cloth.

What is the benefit of 200 GSM?

200 GSM indicates a higher density, meaning the fabric is thicker, stronger, and more resistant to punctures than cheaper, lighter-weight tarpaulins.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the surface of the tarp

Increase the pitch or height of the center support so the cover is angled, allowing water to shed naturally.

Eyelets feeling loose or pulling away

The load is likely too heavy or high-tension. Distribute the weight using more anchor points or use a softer, wider strap instead of the thin bungee.

Tarp is dirty or shows salt residue

Rinse thoroughly with a hose and gentle cloth. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive pads which can compromise the waterproof coating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 200 GSM material handles heavy loads and friction well.
  • Comes as a complete kit with a 10-metre securing rope.
  • Reinforced edges significantly increase lifespan in outdoor conditions.
  • Excellent resistance to both UV degradation and water ingress.

Cons

  • Fixed eyelet spacing (100cm) may not suit every custom tie-down configuration.
  • Requires proper folding and cleaning to prevent mold growth during long-term storage.
  • Bungee cord is best for light-to-medium tension; heavy wind may require additional heavy-duty cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your SolaDirect tarpaulin, ensure it is pulled taut across your objects to prevent water pooling, which can add significant weight and stress the eyelets over time.

Setup Tips:

  1. Lay the sheet over your items, ensuring a slight slope if possible for drainage.
  2. Use the provided 10-metre bungee cord to secure the eyelets to static anchor points.
  3. Avoid dragging the sheet over sharp or jagged metal to preserve the integrity of the polyethylene layer.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft brush; do not use harsh chemicals or pressure washers at close range.
  • Ensure the tarpaulin is completely dry before folding for storage to prevent mildew buildup.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct high-heat sources.
