FAQs
What material is the SolaDirect Tarpaulin made from?
The tarpaulin is made from high-quality, premium-grade polyethylene.
Is this tarp suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, it is designed to be both waterproof and UV-resistant, making it suitable for protection against rain, snow, sun, and wind.
What does GSM mean in relation to tarps?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter, which is a measure of the fabric's weight and thickness. Higher GSM indicates a heavier and often more durable tarp.
Can I use this tarp to cover my vehicle?
Yes, this tarpaulin can be used to cover vehicles for protection against the elements. Ensure it is secured properly and does not rub against the vehicle's surface.
What is the expected size variation of the finished product?
The stated size is the cut size. The actual finished product size may vary by approximately +/- 10%.
How should I clean the tarpaulin?
Clean the tarp with mild soap and cool water, using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse well and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Are there different thickness options available?
Yes, the tarpaulins are available in various grammage (GSM) options, ranging from 50 to 260 GSM, catering to different needs for lightweight to heavy-duty protection.
Troubleshooting
Tarp is smaller than expected
Please note that the provided size is a cut size. The finished product may vary in size by +/- 10% due to manufacturing processes.
Water pooling on the tarp surface
Ensure the tarp is secured tightly and angled to allow water runoff. Avoid creating dips or hollows where water can accumulate.
Tarp appears to be degrading or becoming brittle
This may indicate prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays without adequate protection or that the tarp has reached the end of its lifespan. Consider replacing the tarp and storing it out of direct sunlight when not in use.
Tarp has small holes or tears
For minor damage, consider using a compatible tarp repair tape or patch kit. For larger tears, the tarp's protective integrity may be compromised, and replacement might be necessary.
