Product Information

Full details

The SolaDirect Clear Leno Tarpaulin with Elastic Bungee Rope is a versatile outdoor covering solution designed for homeowners, gardeners, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, waterproof, and UV-resistant barrier that still allows light transmission. This kit provides a convenient all-in-one package for protecting garden furniture, construction materials, or creating temporary greenhouse enclosures. While the reinforced Leno mesh adds significant durability for most standard outdoor tasks, users should note that the tarp is intended for temporary use and may require additional heavy-duty securing methods in extreme wind conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this tarpaulin be used in a greenhouse?

Yes, the clear, light-transmitting material is specifically designed to allow sunlight through, making it highly effective for greenhouse structures.

Is the bungee rope weather resistant?

Yes, the included green elastic bungee rope is designed for outdoor use and can withstand typical weather conditions.

How often are the eyelets spaced?

The aluminum eyelets are fitted at the corners and approximately every 100cm along all edges.

Can I cut the tarpaulin to a different size?

While technically possible, cutting the tarp will compromise the reinforced edge and may lead to fraying. It is recommended to use the tarp in its original dimensions.

Is the material fire retardant?

No, this tarpaulin is not classified as fire retardant and should be kept away from open flames or high-heat sources.

How do I secure the tarp in high wind conditions?

Use additional anchor points or weights around the perimeter and ensure the bungee cord is pulled taut and secured to heavy, stable objects.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the center of the tarp

Ensure the tarp is installed with a slight pitch or slope to allow for water runoff, or place a support object underneath to create a high point.

Bungee cord tension feels loose

Adjust the routing of the bungee rope to take up extra slack or double-loop the cord through the eyelets for a tighter grip.

Accumulated dirt on the surface

Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to gently rinse the tarp. Avoid high-pressure washers that might damage the Leno mesh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows natural light transmission through the surface
  • Waterproof and UV-resistant material
  • Comprehensive kit includes both the tarp and bungee cord
  • Reinforced corners prevent common wear and tear
  • Easy to fold, store, and reposition for various projects

Cons

  • Not suitable for permanent long-term structural roofing
  • Extreme wind gusts may require additional weight or secondary ties
  • Eyelets are spaced at 100cm, which may require extra cord for tighter mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your tarpaulin, thread the included 10m elastic bungee rope through the pre-installed aluminum eyelets, securing the ends to firm anchor points. For larger surface areas, ensure you pull the material taut to prevent water pooling. When storing, ensure the tarpaulin is completely dry and free of debris to prevent mold growth; simply fold along the existing seams to minimize creasing. Avoid using sharp tools or abrasive cleaners on the material, as these can compromise the UV-resistant coating. If the bungee cord loses elasticity over time due to intense sun exposure, it can be easily replaced with standard elastic cord of a similar diameter.
