How to Use

• Drape the tarpaulin over the load or area to be protected

• Use suitable rope, bungees or straps through the eyelets to secure

• Keep the tarp as close to the load as possible to reduce flapping

• Avoid sharp edges where possible, or pad corners to prevent wear

• Dry before folding for storage to keep it in best condition

Good Practice in Windy Areas

• Run ropes or straps over the top of the tarp so the load/frame takes the strain, not just the eyelets

• Tie off to solid anchor points (posts, lashing points, stakes or weights)

• Reduce loose fabric to minimise flapping and stress on hems and eyelets

Silverline Blue Tarpaulin 2.4m x 3m – Key FAQs

• Is it fully waterproof?
  Yes, it’s made from laminated polyethylene and is designed as a waterproof cover sheet.

• Why is the finished size smaller than the cut size?
  Tarps are commonly listed by cut size. The finished size is slightly smaller due to hems and edge reinforcement.

• How far apart are the eyelets?
  The rust-resistant eyelets are spaced at approximately 1 metre intervals.

• Can it be left outside long term?
  It’s UV treated and mould/mildew resistant for outdoor use, but like all lightweight tarps it will last longer if tensioned properly and stored when not needed.

• Is it suitable as a groundsheet?
  Yes, it works well as a temporary ground cover for decorating, gardening or protecting surfaces from dirt and moisture.

• How do I stop it tearing in strong wind?
  Secure it tightly, minimise flapping, and run straps over the tarp so the strain isn’t concentrated on the eyelets alone.

• What is the material weight?
  This tarpaulin is 65gsm, making it lightweight and easy to handle for general-purpose use.
