What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the tarp for affordability and effectiveness in temporary or light-duty coverage tasks like protecting sheds, roofs, and outdoor equipment. Many highlight its reliability for short-term use and ability to withstand rain and snow. However, significant concerns center on grommet durability, with reviewers reporting they rip out under minimal force or pull away easily within days of use. Some note the material feels thin at 5 mil thickness, and extended sun exposure weakens the fabric. Despite these drawbacks, most find it acceptable for basic, short-term applications when expectations align with its temporary-use design.

Strong tarp

Would Recommend

Bought this to cover a shed while I was building it. It’s kept the shed dry but most impressively it didn’t rip as I dragged it across the sharp corners of the roof multiple times

Not waterproof

Lost about $300 worth of hay from one rain shower. Only had 3 months and this was the 2nd time using it. Tarp was only one for two days.

cut open tarp

Would Not Recommend

they gave us a cut tarp, I will be coming back up there for an exchange this is ridiculous. I spent over $60 on this tarp for me not to be able to use it as a waterproof tarp as it states on the description.

Fantastic product

Would Recommend

I use this product to cover my four vehicles with the two most recent snowstorms, once the snow stops, I just slide the tarp right off the cars and zero snow on my vehicles.
