FAQs
What is the 'cut size' mentioned in the description?
The 'cut size' refers to the dimensions of the material before it has been fabricated into the finished tarpaulin. The final dimensions may be slightly smaller (up to 5%) due to hemming and reinforcement.
How waterproof is this tarpaulin?
The tarpaulin is designed to be waterproof, providing effective protection against rain and moisture for the items it covers.
Can this tarpaulin be used in strong winds?
Yes, the tarpaulin can be used in windy conditions provided it is secured properly using the reinforced grommets and adequate tie-down methods. Ensure it is taut to minimize wind resistance.
What is the GSM rating?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 100 GSM rating indicates the weight and density of the material, suggesting a robust and durable fabric.
How often should I inspect the tarpaulin?
It is recommended to inspect the tarpaulin periodically, especially before and after periods of heavy use or adverse weather, to check for any signs of wear or damage.
What are the dimensions of the grommets?
The eyelet diameter (grommet size) is 12 mm (0.5 inches).
Is this tarpaulin UV resistant?
The product description does not specifically mention UV resistance. For long-term outdoor use, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may degrade the material over time.
Troubleshooting
Tarpaulin seems smaller than advertised
The product description notes that the finished size can be up to 5% smaller than the 'cut size' due to the fabrication process. Measure carefully and consider this tolerance.
Water is pooling on the surface
Ensure the tarpaulin is stretched taut and has adequate slope or tension to allow water to run off. Adjust tie-down points if necessary.
Grommets feel loose or damaged
Avoid excessive force when securing the tarpaulin. If a grommet is damaged, consider using a patch or reinforcing the area before re-securing.
Material has a small tear
For minor tears, use a waterproof repair tape designed for outdoor fabrics. For larger tears, consider patching or replacing the tarpaulin.
