Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Lay the tarp over the item, ensuring the silver side faces outward for maximum UV protection.
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.
Compatibility: The 12mm eyelets are compatible with most standard bungee hooks, rope ties, and carabiners.
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.
Care: Avoid dragging the tarp across sharp, abrasive surfaces to preserve the integrity of the polyethylene layer.
