What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the tarp's reliable weatherproof coverage for roofs, pools, and construction sites, with many highlighting its large size as a major advantage for full coverage without multiple pieces. Most find it effective and durable enough for short- to medium-term use. However, several report the material thins, shreds, or splits after months of sun exposure, and many express frustration with poorly installed or easily torn grommets that fail under tension. A few note it requires multiple people to install and can tear if not properly secured. Despite durability concerns, most consider it a worthwhile value.

Purchased to cover hurricane roof damage. Developed a couple of holes from rough spots, but did an ample job of keeping water out of the house.

We needed a tarp to cover a roof on an addition until our roofer put on the roof and this tarp was big enough to do the job.

Had a tree fall on our house. This tarp has helped save more from being lost to the heavy hurricane rains that followed.

do not buy

Would Not Recommend

You would be better off using a grocery bag than to blow your money on this. Had it boarded down so no wind could get inder it and it lasted 8 days before it turned into 10,000 pieces. It became so brittle you could flick it and crack off pieces of it.

Junk tarp

Would Not Recommend

Needed a large tarp during our roofing project in case it rained. Installed tarp at end of the day because we had a chance or rain. The next day after I returned from work I went up onto the roof and the tarp split down the middle on a previously unnoticed seam that is just glued together, no stitching or anything. I rolled it up and took it back to Lowes and got my money back and took it to Harbor Freight where a purchased a better quality tarp for less money.

Placed the tarp on my flat roof.It deteriorated in a few months.Called Lowes they told me there is no guarantee. Stay away from this product.Lowes needs to carry a better product.20ft- x - 40ft. Where did it go?

Poor performance. Ripped out every hole

Would Not Recommend

Very low performance for a $100+ tarp. I put it over my roof and half of the holes ripped out overnight which allowed the tarp to blow off

50 x 30 tarp

Would Not Recommend

The grommets are totally useless out of the package. Two fell out during unfolding. If trying to use it to avoid roof leaks . . . .use blocks not tie downs or roofing "cap nails". Been there done that . . . .blocks weighting down the perimeter is best . . .. PERIOD !. No value for the money . . .but you may be able to fend off the worst if you take my advice. AGAIN the grommets are functionally useless. 6 mill plastic sheeting is just as effective !
