Recommended Applications
- Construction Site Protection: Covers expensive raw materials like cement, sand, and bricks to prevent moisture damage and hardening.
- Monsoon Sheds: Ideal for creating temporary rain shelters or "pandal" roofing for outdoor events and residential terraces.
- Logistics & Transport: Used as a truck or trolley cover to protect goods from rain, dust, and wind during transit.
- Agricultural Use: Covers harvested crops, haystacks, and farm equipment; also used as a floor liner for drying grains.
- Home & Garden: Protects outdoor furniture, AC units, and vehicles (cars/bikes) from bird droppings, sap, and rain.
-
Camping & Outdoor: Acts as a durable groundsheet for tents or a quick-setup canopy for shade and rain protection.
Usage Guidelines
- Unfold Carefully: Spread the tarpaulin over the object or area you wish to cover. Avoid dragging it over sharp metal edges or broken glass to prevent accidental punctures.
- Secure the Eyelets: Use high-quality nylon rope or bungee cords through the aluminum eyelets. Ensure the tension is distributed evenly across all points to prevent tearing during high winds.
- Create a Slope: When using as a roof or shed, always install at an angle (slope). This allows rainwater to run off freely and prevents "water pooling," which can stress the fabric.
- Avoid Sharp Contact: If covering machinery with sharp corners, place a piece of cloth or foam over the sharp points before laying the tarp to extend its service life.
-
Storage: Before folding for storage, ensure the tarp is completely dry. Storing a wet tarpaulin can lead to mold and unpleasant odors.
FAQs
1) Is this tarpaulin completely waterproof?
Yes. The 110 GSM HDPE material is 100% waterproof and leak-proof, designed specifically to repel heavy rain and moisture.
2) What does "110 GSM" mean?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre. 110 GSM is a "Medium Duty" grade. It is significantly stronger than thin "throw-away" liners but remains light enough to be handled by one person easily.
3) How many eyelets (holes) does it have?
The tarpaulin features rust-resistant aluminum eyelets spaced approximately every 3 feet along all four reinforced edges, allowing for secure lashing.
4) Will the blue colour fade in the sun?
The material is UV-stabilized to slow down the fading process and prevent the fabric from becoming brittle, though some minor colour fading is normal after prolonged, multi-year exposure to extreme sunlight.
5) Is the size exactly 15 x 12 feet?
In the tarpaulin industry, the "Cut Size" is 15x12. The "Finished Size" may be a few inches shorter (approx. 2–3%) due to the heat-sealing of the hems and edges.
6) How do I clean the tarpaulin?
Simply spray it down with a water hose and use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the UV coating.
