Description:
This heavy-duty tarpaulin from Velway measures 2m x 3m and is designed to protect items from rain, dust and UV exposure while being easy to handle for everyday tasks. It combines durable polyethylene construction with reinforced fastening points to keep covers in place whether used on the garden, at a campsite or during home maintenance.
Key Points
The tarp is made from woven polyethylene with a 100gsm fabric weight, offering notable resistance to tearing and general wear. It is fully waterproof on the surface, and the inner coating reduces sunlight transmission to help prevent fading of covered items. The material is lightweight which makes it easy to carry and deploy for temporary covers or longer term protection.
Metal eyelets are fitted at closer intervals than many standard tarps, providing more attachment points and helping to distribute tension more evenly. This lowers the chance of flapping and reduces stress at the edges when the tarp is secured in windy conditions. The green colour helps the cover blend into outdoor settings while remaining visible enough for practical use. 🌿
Benefits
Using this tarpaulin protects vehicles, trailers, garden furniture, wood piles and camping gear from moisture and dirt. For renovation projects it can act as a dust barrier or temporary roof sheet when fixed over scaffolding. The combination of a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and a fabric that resists staining makes maintenance straightforward. For longer exposures, the UV-resistant coating helps slow material ageing, according to the manufacturer. ☀️
One practical advantage is the tarp’s reusability. It folds compactly for storage and redeploys quickly, which is useful when frequent coverage is needed. Consider that because it is 100gsm it is lighter than heavier industrial canvases, so it may not suit jobs requiring very high puncture resistance or extreme abrasion protection.

Usage Recommendations
For general-purpose outdoor protection secure the tarp with cord or bungee cords through the reinforced eyelets, ensuring even tension to avoid stress points. When covering sharp or abrasive objects add a soft underlayer to reduce risk of puncture. For prolonged outdoor use rotate the tarp periodically and avoid keeping it under continuous heavy loads, as this will help extend its serviceable life. When storing, fold dry and keep in a ventilated place to prevent mould or trapped moisture.
