Silver Poly Tarps

Holds up in the winds. Strong stuff.

We bought a couple of these to cover our woodpiles. No lie, we had them covered up fewer than 3 minutes when we got one of our nastier thunderstorms: winds over 60 miles an hour and 2 inches of rain in less than an hour. Because we had not perfected "tenting" the tarp it ended up holding up a large amount of pooled water; withstood the winds as well. We've had plenty of wind and rain since and had no problems. I'm sure they'll handle snow as well. These are sturdy and strong, no problems with the grommets. Highly recommended.

Holding up great so far!

I thought this would turn out to be more tarp than I needed. I have a 7x9 Coleman four-man tent, and this 10x12 tarp is exactly the right size to go under the whole tent plus give me a generous entrance/exit area. I always stake it down at all four corners, independently from the tent.

Memorial Day weekend 2009 I was at a bluegrass festival that was hit by a near-hurricane-level storm. Tents and tarps went flying all over the place, and most everyone lost their gear. Not me. This tarp stayed put, the tent on top of it was unharmed, and despite being battered by wind and debris, all it got was muddy. Cheaper tarps and groundcloths at nearby campsites were torn to shreds.

Good quality and great value!

Excellent tarp....very good quality and it was priced well. Actually it was a better tarp at a cheaper price than what Home Depot offers.

Very thick and durable. It's a tarp, so not too much to say. We used it underneath our tent for camping and it worked quite well!

This is being used to wrap a wood pile. Brown side blends right into background of trees. Seems formidable, already weathered a few storms, and holding up just fine. Hope it lasts for years.

I bought this UV tarp to shade my tent at Burningman, the UV aspect worked very well at shielding the sun, also it survived some very strong dust storms; proving that it's very well constructed. I wouldn't spend too much time looking else where.

Used this one to put under my tent. Worked great. Make sure size is right. I would pay 20% more for this one over a simple blue tarp.

I use this tarp on my utility trailer for tailgating, etc... . It is exceptionally durable throughout, with special note for the eyelets for bungees or ropes. I don't baby it and it lasts and lasts. Packaging was way overkill for a tarp, but who's complaining!

sold and works well. I bought this tarp to cover a table in my back yard for the winter. So far so good.

This tarp was exactly what we were looking for. We needed somethig to cover a couple cords of wood that are curing since we're going into the rainy season and don't have a shed to stack it in. The free shipping made it extremely worth it, as no local store has a tarp of this size that's not blue. (I would hate a blue tarp in my yard)

Overall an ok product but watch the sizing

I ordered this product with a specific need to have it 30' in length. Unfortunately it was 29' instead so it required a bit of rework on my part to accept this adjusted length. I didn't have the luxury of returning or I would have.

However, regardless of the size it seems well made.

I bought this "heavy duty UV treated" tarp to cover some equipment that gets Virginia sun two-thirds of the day. Less than a year later it was completely rotted away. I bought a second tarp off Amazon not realizing I was ordering the same one (the "heavy-duty UV treated" sold me again). Same thing happened....it is 9 months later and the tarp is rotting out with holes a couple of feed across. So unless you intent to use this in the shade to protect only from rain, I'd suggest a different brand.

the blue tarp (my 1st one) = 1 star as it disintegrated on top of my patio covers after a few months of Calif wind and sun .... this one is better than in + few more months ... they shrank first (so make a lot of allowance for shrinkage if it'll be out in the sun everyday) and then the silver-colored coat started to powderize and then later on disintegrated too ....

Not what you think.

My garage needs a new roof, but I have not decided the direction I want to go with that. Since the roof leaks and we get lots of rain, I needed to put a new tarp over it to replace the current one. Blue tarps really stick out, so I picked this color. The silver side, with all the folds showing, makes the tarp look like a slate roof. This tarp was shipped quickly and works great. It's really strong. Definitely would purchase this again.

Not Quite As Heavy Duty As Claimed...

It is a moderately good tarp but barely worth about the 65 that it costs here, and, as another reviewer has noted (for a different size) it is NOT Heavy-Duty much less Super-Heavy-Duty. It is sturdier than the blue tarps one sees often. My tarp weighed about 14 lbs. giving an areal density of about 4.7 oz./sq. yd. Truly Heavy-Duty, 12 mil., 6 oz/sq.yd. tarps are available at about the same price including shipping at, for example, coversuperstoredotcom.

I needed sun protection over my new vehicle and in front of my garage & workshop here in So. Cal. where summers can be brutally hot. So I bought 3 10x20 8 legged canopies that did pretty well. But the canopy material only lasted about 2 yrs. of 24/7 weather. So, when I got to the point of replacement of all 3, I thought putting a Dry Top Tarp over each canopy would maybe help them last at least twice longer. The 18x24 was the perfect size. I put up all 3 in late March right after some on-going severe winds we get from time to time. My tie-down system worked perfectly. Then last month, I noticed a deterioration area in one. Then another. Now would you know, each one has deteriorated to the point of worthlessness, and they have been up less than 6 months! And since installation, there has been virtually no heavy winds that would cause any early ripping in the fabric. I even used parachute cord to criss-cross each top to help prevent the "billowing" effect and defer any extra stress on the tarp material. So, I can only conclude that this touting of "Super-Heavy-Duty UV Treated" is just a crock of HOOEY! Don't waste your money on this product.
