Cheap Materials,
October 14, 2008
By GeezingInVAfrom Clifton, VA
"Covers our sawdust bin, held down with bungee cords. In sunlight, it's obvious there are several places where the top/bottom layers don't overlap completely, leaving vulnerable seams. May last three-four months at best. After that time, rain weeps through, the grommets have pulled out, the material is brittle, and it tears easily. Okay if you want the cheapest you can find, but hardly a quality product."

Tarp Test,
April 21, 2008
By HMV3from Texas
"I switched from using another brand to this one because of the stronger reinforced corners. I've used it a few dozen times for a cover over my camp and it's held up very well in the wind except for the gromets. The original aluminum gromets needed to be replaced by brass. After I replaced all four corners with brass it was better than new. Recomend using Brass gromets and this should be a great tarp for the price."

Tough Tarp,
January 15, 2008
By Scooter01from Salisbury, VT
"I purchased this tarp to cover my cords of wood. It's hugh! I was surprised at the strength of the material. The eyelets make it easy to tie down and are made very well. In the harsh winter's of Vermont it is holding up extremely well. I plan to purchase another one next year as my wood pile grows ever larger."

It won't last outdoors in the sun,
October 30, 2007
By Spotsfrom Kentucky
"I put three of these tarps over some hay in June. By September the material deteriorated on two of them so that it would tear as easily as newspaper. The wind tore it to shreds. One of the three tarps was shaded by some trees and it might make it through one season."

20ftX16 ft silver tarp,
March 12, 2007
By kitepflyerfrom Ohio
"I found the workmanship of this product to be poor. Gromet holes were enlarged and did not fit the holes in the tarp, resulting in the gromets pulling out of the tarp. I also found this product to be thin and easily torn by objects put under it."
