FAQs

What does 200GSM mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 200GSM indicates a heavy-duty, dense material suitable for long-term outdoor protection.

Why is the finished size smaller than 4 x 6 m?

The listed dimensions are the cut size of the material. After folding and hemming the edges for strength, the final product is typically up to 10% smaller.

Can I use this for long-term storage?

Yes, it is designed for durability, but you should ensure the tarp is properly ventilated to prevent moisture buildup underneath.

Is this material flame retardant?

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

How should I clean the tarp?

Simply hose it down with water and use a soft brush with mild detergent if necessary. Let it air dry completely before storing.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the surface

Adjust the angle or elevate the center of the item being covered to ensure proper drainage.

Tarp blowing away in the wind

Ensure all edges are tightly secured using additional tie-down points or weighted objects along the perimeter.

Material showing signs of wear

Check for abrasive surfaces underneath the tarp and apply a heavy-duty patch tape if small tears occur.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density 200GSM material for extended longevity
  • Effective protection against both water and frost
  • Suitable for a wide range of commercial and residential uses
  • Easy to drape over irregularly shaped items

Cons

  • Actual finished size may be up to 10% smaller than the cut size
  • Color is limited to grey
  • Requires separate securing hardware like bungee cords or rope

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by clearing sharp objects from the area you intend to cover to prevent punctures. When securing the tarp, use high-quality eyelet fasteners or heavy-duty bungees. While the material is water-resistant, it should not be used as a permanent roof structure. To maintain the life of your tarp, clean it periodically with mild soap and water, and always ensure it is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
