FAQs

Can I use this for ground protection?

Yes, the heavy-duty 235 GSM construction makes it durable enough for ground-level use, such as protecting the floor during painting or as a base for camping.

Is the bungee rope included in the box?

Yes, the product comes with a 10-meter green elastic bungee rope for securing your load.

What is the eyelet diameter?

The eyelets have an overall size of 20mm with a 12mm internal opening.

Does it protect against all weather?

The tarp is waterproof and UV-resistant, providing excellent protection against rain, snow, and sunlight.

How do I store the tarp when it's not being used?

Clean and dry the tarp completely before folding it neatly. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Are the corners reinforced?

Yes, the corners are rubber-reinforced for additional strength and support during high-tension tie-downs.

Troubleshooting

The tarp is flapping in the wind.

Increase the number of anchor points by using additional bungee cords through the eyelets and ensure the rope is pulled to maximum tension.

Eyelets are starting to pull through the material.

This often indicates the tarp is over-stretched. Release some tension or add an additional support cord across the center of the item to redistribute weight.

Water pooling on top of the tarp.

Create a 'tent' effect by placing a taller object in the center underneath the tarp so that water can run off the sides rather than collecting in the middle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density 235 GSM material ensures long-term outdoor reliability.
  • Rubber-reinforced corners provide significant durability against high tension.
  • Comprehensive package includes a high-quality bungee rope for immediate use.
  • UV-resistant treatment prevents material brittleness under prolonged sun exposure.
  • Aluminium eyelets are rust-resistant and provide secure points for ropes or bungees.

Cons

  • The 2m x 2m size is limited to smaller applications or individual item protection.
  • Frequent exposure to extreme high-speed winds may require extra securing points beyond the standard eyelets.
  • Manual handling of bungee cords requires caution to avoid snapping back during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your tarpaulin, align the center of the sheet over your item, ensuring the silver side faces outward if you wish to reflect heat, or inward if you prefer the black side to blend into the environment. Feed the included bungee rope through the 12mm internal eyelets, pulling them toward your chosen anchor points to create uniform tension. For the best longevity, clean the tarp periodically with lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove dirt, mildew, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the UV coating. When not in use, ensure the tarpaulin is completely dry before folding to prevent moisture buildup and fold it along the original creases to maintain its shape for future use.
