FAQs
Is this tarp waterproof?
The material is water-resistant, meaning it provides a reliable barrier against rain, but it should not be submerged in water.
Does the 4 x 6 metre size account for the hem?
The dimensions provided are 'cut sizes,' which refers to the raw material before finishing; please allow for up to a 10% variation in finished dimensions.
Can I use this for a permanent roofing cover?
No, this 50GSM tarp is designed for temporary use and is not suitable for permanent roofing or high-stress structural applications.
Is it safe to use in freezing temperatures?
While the polyethylene is durable, extreme cold can make the material brittle; use caution when handling or unfolding it in sub-zero temperatures.
How do I store the tarp?
Clean it, ensure it is completely dry to prevent mold, fold it neatly, and store it in a cool, dry indoor environment.
Troubleshooting
Tarp is tearing at the corners
Apply heavy-duty repair tape to the area and ensure the tarp is not under excessive tension when fastened.
Water pooling on top of the cover
Create a slight peak or incline in the center of the items being covered to encourage water runoff.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly portable due to the lightweight 50GSM construction
- Effective protection against both moisture and UV radiation
- Versatile size suitable for residential and commercial applications
- Cost-effective solution for temporary outdoor storage needs
Cons
- The cut size may result in a final product smaller than 4 x 6 metres due to the 10% variance allowance
- Not intended for permanent or heavy-duty structural applications
- Thinner material is more prone to puncturing compared to heavy-duty canvas or high-GSM alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your SolaDirect tarpaulin, ensure it is secured using grommets or bungee cords to prevent flapping in high winds, which can lead to tears. When covering sharp objects, it is recommended to place a soft cloth or padding between the item and the tarp to prevent punctures. To clean, simply wipe the surface with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before folding it for storage. Storing the tarp in a cool, dry place when not in use will significantly prolong its UV-resistant coating and structural integrity.
