Kotap 10 x 10 Ft. All-Purpose Multi-Use Protection/Coverage 5-mil Poly Tarp, Waterproof, Blue, 1-Pack (TRA-1010)

I have used tarps like this in the past, and recommend using it where it can do the job. If you do that, it will serve you well. What it can't do: -- It can't replace a strong canvas tarp. It rips and tears easily, or if pulled tight against something sharp. -- Don't expect the tarp to not rip out the grommets if you have a lot of strong winds. -- It won't last forever. Sun and soft rubbing will eventually cause a hole to fray through. What it can do: -- It is waterproof (unless it rips). It will keep whatever is underneath it dry. -- If you are careful and choose jobs it can do, it should last at least three years. The down-and-dirty: This tarp, if ripped or frayed, will break down into strands of plastic. If you don't do anything to fix that issue, you will have strands tangling in other items in your yard. To fix, use duct tape. Tape on both sides for max hold, and easier to fix small tears before they expand to holes with strands flying about. Once you know it can rip or tear, you can do things to help it. My last tarp kept my wood (not always the smoothest items) dry for two years. Last year (third year) I didn't repair the tiny rips and had some wet wood. This year, I folded the old tarp and placed it on top of my wood pile (picture rows about 15 feet long, 5 feet deep). The folded old tarp protects the new tarp from sharp points as well as fraying when the wind blows. Expecting the new tarp to last at least three years if not longer due to the old tarp protecting it. Very satisfied.

Great price for a great tarp

This is the lightest-duty tarp I have ever worked with--very thin. Not that I am an expert in tarps, but I have certainly used a few in my day. On the one hand, it is very nice that it doesn't weigh that much, and for my purposes, that's a plus. However, I'm not super confident that it will not rip a hole in the near future... Speaking of holes, mine had a small hole in it when I first unfolded it--perhaps with a total area of a square inch... maybe less. Given that the tarp has an area of 1200 square feet, that's fairly insignificant. My main concern is that it may grow... And speaking of unfolding it for the first time, I thought I'd mention that doing so was a bit of a challenge--the tarp seemed to stick to itself slightly and was so light weight and large that it took a bit of time to get it all laid out mostly flat. This would have been much easier with 3 or 4 people instead of just me, but I don't seem to recall ever having a tarp stick to itself like that. I thought it was odd. No stars off, just a side note. At this price point, I can overlook a small hole and if it rips after a few uses, I think I can still give it 4 stars. If you want something that will last, you'll have to pay more for it. Probably quite a bit more.

Super value tarp to cover my extra long van. Made well, tough and rain resistant.

I recently had a flat roof garage removed and I guess the roofers forgot to finish it so it started with a slow leak and developed into a bigger one. The roofer was really busy and couldn't get to my house before the next big rain so I ordered this and spent about an hour putting it up myself 30x30 ft is typically a two-man job but I was able to finally get it done and it did protect the roof from any major flooding inside. The only con to this is it is very lightweight on top of an asphalt type roof you got to be careful walking on it because it'll rip but in a short term one time or two times use no complaints.

I guess it’s as described. Pretty thin and ripped shortly after getting it. Wouldn’t use this as a long term cover. Would be great for short term use.

This tarp is absolutely awful. I was planning to use it frequently, but it didn’t even last the first move. As soon as I placed it over the furniture, it started ripping apart during the ride. It completely ripped. I’ve bought multiple tarps before, but this is my first experience with this brand. I’ve never encountered such a problem before. I strongly advise against buying this tarp.

Works great
