The Blue Hawk tarp has very good coverage. My main purchase was the 12 foot X 10 foot Cedar Deck Cabana # A102005804 that was delivered by FedEx on a pallet that grossed-out at 536 lbs. I am in the process of installing the cabana on my deck, between rain and snow fall. This is a excellent product and a good value for me, as I used my Military discount on this purchase. Thanks. jack crawford retired union welder. pittsburgh

This tarp isn't as thick as the one I have but it strong and sturdy. It does the job of keeping water/rain off my deck things.

Excavator Cover

Would Recommend

This tarp is used to cover the cab on my excavator during the rainy season. The grommets seem strong enough to withstand heavy wintertime winds.

Tarp to cover patio furniture

Would Recommend

It's a good tarp and will do the job quite well. I bought mid weight tarp. It is bigger than I needed - next time I'd get a small one.

10+Days

Would Recommend

I covered 2/3 of garden area with my new tarp and for 11/2 weeks it is working. We had a little rain and 3 days of really windy weather in that time and the tarp did his job, no tears or holes. I will know more with the cold and rainy weather next month. Looks and feels well made. For now, I would say buy it neighbor, Lowe's is not going any where soon!!

Tarp

Would Recommend

The wife and I have been living in the in-laws basement since the eviction, until last week, When they threw me out. I purchased this tarp for cover in the park and it has been great. I would highly recommend this tarp. In fact three of us (Joe, Jessi, and myself) huddle up beneath It every night, and remain dry. If you live in the Chicago area you know it’s been quite wet lately. Anyways if you need a tarp this is it, strong ,durable, with a homey feel.

Disappointing, Tears Easily at The Grommets

Would Not Recommend

Bought this tarp to cover my roof after some hurricane damage until I could get the roof replaced. I nailed it snugly to the roof using roofing nails with plastic washers. After about a week, I checked on it and the tarp was torn at the grommets, as a result of the tension, in multiple places. This is unacceptab;e for a any tarp. There were no high winds during this time and I had place 4x4s and 2x4s on the in side of edges. Tarps from Harbor Freight are better quality.

Keep replacing

Would Not Recommend

Depends what your use is for! Short term: Great, it will last you the 3-6 months depending on conditions. Long term (which I use it for): Bad. We replace this tarp a few times 1-2 times per year to cover up some storage. The plastic degrades in the sun (that's why in the short term I said depending on conditions) and holes/tears will easily begin to happen with the combination of the sun and winds. The metal rings are nice until the plastic gives away, and then whatever you used those rings f...

Excellent!

Would Recommend

This is the second one I've purchased for a leaky roof that has become shaped like a bowl, so water just sits in the middle. The roof section is 25x30, so I can fold it in half and get two later coverage that lasts for 9 months. Other tarps don't last nearly that long, in the blazing sun, which hits it all day. At the price I paid, it is well-worth the price, for the protection it provides. I use it with the blue side facing the sun. After trying so many different tarps, I highly recommend t...

Think twice

Would Not Recommend

In less than 24 hours 3 grommets have ripped from the tarp. If you’re looking for an extended use tarp, Like more than a few days, look elsewhere.

Price and item not honored

Would Not Recommend

I bought online and it said it was available for a clearance price then an associate called me and told me it’s not available anymore but it is still offered online for sale so they didn’t want to honor the item for the price
