FAQs

What is the weight of this tarpaulin?

This tarp has a density of 260 GSM, making it a heavy-duty option for demanding applications.

Can I use this for long-term outdoor storage?

Yes, it is designed for durability and UV resistance, making it suitable for extended periods of outdoor use.

What size is the internal eyelet opening?

The eyelets have an internal opening of approximately 12mm.

Is the bungee rope enough for all fixing points?

The included 10-metre cord is intended for initial setup; depending on your anchor points, you may need additional rope for full coverage.

How do I clean the tarpaulin?

Use a damp cloth and mild water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these may damage the UV-resistant coating.

Troubleshooting

Eyelet pull-out under tension

Ensure the tarp is not overtightened and use more anchoring points to distribute the weight evenly.

Water pooling on the surface

Adjust the angle of the tarp to create a pitch, preventing water from collecting in the center.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density 260 GSM material is significantly more robust than standard tarps
  • Reinforced corners provide excellent durability during tight securing
  • Includes a practical length of bungee rope for immediate use
  • Effective at protecting against both moisture and UV degradation

Cons

  • Requires additional anchoring hardware for long-term heavy-duty projects
  • The 10-metre cord may be insufficient for large-scale wrapping applications
  • Not intended for industrial-grade extreme load-bearing uses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Placement: Lay the tarp over the item, ensuring the silver side faces outward for maximum UV protection.
  2. Securing: Thread the included 10m bungee rope through the 12mm internal eyelet openings. Use the corners first for structural support before tensioning the perimeter eyelets.
  3. Compatibility: The 12mm eyelets are compatible with most standard bungee hooks, rope ties, and carabiners.
  4. Maintenance: To clean, simply wipe the surface with water and a soft cloth. Ensure the tarp is completely dry before folding and storing it to prevent mildew growth.
  5. Care: Avoid dragging the tarp across sharp, abrasive surfaces to preserve the integrity of the polyethylene layer.
