While the tarpaulin is heavy-duty and waterproof, prolonged, continuous exposure to harsh elements like direct sunlight can eventually degrade the material. It is best suited for temporary or seasonal protection, or if used permanently, regular inspection and care are recommended.
The advertised size is the 'cut size'. Please be aware that the actual finished size of the tarpaulin may be up to 5% smaller than the stated 8 x 10 meters due to manufacturing tolerances and the reinforced hem.
The tarpaulin features metal grommets with a 12 mm / 0.5 inch diameter, spaced every 1 meter. They provide secure points for fastening, but it's important not to overtighten or pull excessively hard directly on a single grommet, as this could cause damage.
It is not recommended to cut the tarpaulin, as this will compromise the reinforced edges and waterproof integrity, potentially leading to fraying and leaks. It is best to use the tarpaulin as supplied or choose a size that best fits your needs.
Clean using a mild detergent and cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before folding or storing.
Use ropes, bungee cords, or straps through the metal grommets. Ensure the tarpaulin is pulled taut and evenly to prevent wind damage and water accumulation.
Yes, it can be used to cover vehicles like cars, boats, or caravans for protection against weather. Ensure it is secured properly to prevent movement or damage in windy conditions.
Ensure the tarpaulin is stretched taut and has a slight slope to allow water to run off. Check that securing points are not too far apart for the tension applied.
Avoid applying excessive force to the grommets. If damaged, consider reinforcing the area or using an alternative, less stressed securing point nearby if available. Professional repair may be needed for significant damage.
Note that the actual finished size can be up to 5% smaller than the 'cut size' due to manufacturing processes and reinforced edges. Measure carefully to confirm it falls within this tolerance.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the tarpaulin is thoroughly dried before storing it again. Store in a well-ventilated area.
