Product Information

Full details

This SolaDirect Clear Tarpaulin is designed for individuals needing robust, waterproof protection for outdoor or indoor items, offering a versatile solution for covering furniture, caravans, or creating temporary shelters. Its key benefit is superior water resistance and durability, ensuring items remain dry and protected. A caveat to consider is that the finished tarpaulin size may be up to 5% smaller than the advertised 'cut size' due to the fabrication process. Features include heavy-duty material, reinforced edges with metal grommets, and included tarp clips for secure fastening.

FAQs

What does '100 GSM' mean?

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter', which is a measure of the fabric's weight and density. 100 GSM indicates a moderately heavy-duty material, suitable for general-purpose protection.

How many tarp clips are included?

Four tarp clips are included with the tarpaulin.

How often should I check the tarpaulin for damage?

It is recommended to inspect the tarpaulin before each use, and periodically during prolonged use, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.

Can this tarpaulin be used as a permanent cover?

While durable, this tarpaulin is designed for heavy-duty, multipurpose use which often implies temporary or seasonal coverage. For permanent outdoor exposure, consider materials specifically rated for long-term UV resistance and weather endurance.

What is the diameter of the eyelets/grommets?

The eyelet diameter is 12 mm (0.5 inches).

Can I cut the tarpaulin to a custom size?

While you can cut the material, doing so will compromise the reinforced edges and grommet integrity, potentially leading to tears and reducing its effectiveness and durability. It is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Tarpaulin is smaller than expected

Please note that the finished size of the tarpaulin can be up to 5% shorter than the advertised 'cut size' due to the fabrication process. This is standard industry terminology.

Water is pooling on the surface

Ensure the tarpaulin is stretched taut and angled correctly to allow water to run off. Check that anchor points are secure and evenly distributed.

Grommets appear loose or damaged

Inspect the grommets. If they are damaged, consider using alternative fastening points or reinforcing the area with a patch if possible. Avoid excessive force when securing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection.
  • Durable and heavy-duty construction for longevity.
  • Easy to secure with reinforced grommets and included clips.
  • Versatile for numerous indoor and outdoor applications.
  • Clear material allows for light penetration.

Cons

  • Finished size may be up to 5% smaller than the cut size.
  • Specific GSM (100) might not be sufficient for extreme, prolonged heavy loads without additional support.
  • Clear material may become brittle over extended UV exposure if not properly maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the tarpaulin carefully to avoid snags or tears.
  2. Identify the metal grommets along the reinforced edges.
  3. Use the provided tarp clips or ropes, bungee cords, or eyelets to attach the tarpaulin securely to anchor points.
  4. Ensure the tarpaulin is taut to prevent water pooling.

Compatibility:

This tarpaulin is compatible with standard ropes, bungee cords, and tie-down systems. It can be anchored to posts, trees, existing structures, or weighted objects. It is suitable for use with caravans, garden furniture, camping equipment, and vehicles.

Care:

  • Clean the tarpaulin with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Allow the tarpaulin to dry completely before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
  • Periodically check for any signs of damage, such as tears or worn grommets, and repair as needed.
