The SolaDirect 3x5m Clear Waterproof Tarpaulin is designed for homeowners, campers, and professionals requiring a durable, versatile protective barrier against the elements in gardens, farm settings, or boatyards. The key benefit of this cover is its heavy-duty 100GSM construction combined with reinforced edges, providing reliable shielding for equipment or outdoor structures. One important caveat to keep in mind is that the finished size of the tarpaulin may be up to 5% smaller than the listed cut size due to the standard manufacturing process of hemming and grommet attachment.

This tarpaulin is constructed with a 100GSM material weight, offering a balance between durability and portability.
Yes, it is suitable for boatyard use, though ensure the tarp is secured tightly with bungee cords to prevent flapping in high winds.
The metal grommets have a 12mm internal diameter, which is compatible with most standard bungee hooks and ropes.
The 3x5 metre measurement refers to the raw 'cut size' of the material. The final finished size is typically up to 5% smaller due to the folding and reinforcement process at the hems.
Yes, the four included tarp clips are designed to be removable and can be repositioned as needed.
While the material is waterproof and durable, it is best practice to minimize prolonged direct sun exposure over many years to maintain maximum material flexibility.
Use the included tarp clips to distribute tension across a larger surface area rather than relying solely on the grommet.
Use additional carabiners or connect a secondary length of cord to extend the reach while maintaining secure anchoring.
Ensure the tarp is installed at an angle or has a central support prop to encourage water runoff.
To set up your tarpaulin, thread the included 10-metre bungee cord through the 12mm eyelets along the perimeter. For maximum stability, use the four provided tarp clips at corners or tension points where grommets are under high stress. Ensure the surface being covered is free of extremely sharp, jagged edges that could compromise the material. When cleaning, simply wipe the surface down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using abrasive brushes that could scratch the clear plastic. Always allow the tarp to dry completely before folding it for storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
