- Leave tie roomA gap of a few inches between the mesh and the frame lets you tension every grommet.

Know-how from nearly 15 years in tarps
-
What the percentage means
70% shade blocks about 70% of the sunlight. The rest gets through, along with air and rain.
-
Pull it tight
Shade cloth that sags or flaps wears faster. Tie or bungee every grommet so it stays taut.
-
Rain gets through
Mesh doesn't keep rain off. To stay dry and shaded, use a solid vinyl tarp.
Questions we hear most
Does it keep rain out?
No. Mesh lets air and rain through, so it doesn't trap heat or fill with water. To keep things dry, use a solid vinyl tarp.
What does the shade percentage mean?
It's roughly how much sunlight the mesh blocks. 70% shade lets about 30% of the light through.
How should I tie it down?
Use every grommet. Rubber tarp straps or bungees stretch with the gusts, so the tarp stays put without tearing at the grommets. Rope works on a cover that doesn't move, as long as it stays tight. See our tarp straps.
Is the listed size the cut size or the finished size?
Cut size. The finished tarp is about 3 to 5% smaller after hemming. If you need every inch covered, go one size up.
