Custom Clear Tarp

Tarp sizes are quoted as cut size, meaning the material before the edges are finished. Expect the tarp you unfold to measure a few percent smaller in each direction. Order one size up from the object you are covering, and add at least 2 ft in each direction for anything you need to pitch or tie down.

No, tarps ship on their own. The grommets are in the tarp, but the ball bungees, rope, clips and stakes that hold it down are separate items. Add them to the same order if you need the cover up straight away.

Waterproof. Nothing passes through the material itself. Leaks come from water pooling in a slack section until it finds a seam or a grommet hole, which is why pitching matters. Give the tarp a slope or a raised center so rain runs off.

UV is what ends most tarps rather than rain. That is why all of our tarps are UV-treated, which buys you seasons rather than months

• Light duty tarps at 5 to 8 mil give you a few months to a year in full sun
• 10 to 12 mil runs 1 to 3 years
• 14 mil and above runs 3 to 5.

Southern states and high altitude shorten all of these. Dry it fully and fold it before storing, because a damp tarp packed away comes out mildewed.

Yes, though you lose the finished edge and the grommets along the side you cut.

Seal the raw edge with tarp repair tape and set new grommets with a grommet kit, otherwise the cut edge will fray and split from the corner inward.
