Tarp Heavy Duty 12x24 FT 12 Mil Waterproof Tarp 🏕️
Description:
This heavy-duty polyethylene tarp from SpacEver measures 12 by 24 feet and offers a thick, protective cover for outdoor uses like shielding firewood, covering pools, or protecting roofing and tent structures. With a 12 mil thickness and reinforced corners, it aims to resist tearing and keep rain and sun out, making it practical for seasonal storage and weather protection.
Key Points
The tarp features a tight woven polyethylene fabric with a polymer coating that improves water resistance and abrasion durability. Stainless steel grommets are placed at regular intervals with reinforced hems and corner bindings, which helps when securing the cover under wind or during transport. The surface is smooth and wipes clean easily, and the tarp folds compactly for storage when not in use. Consider that, according to the manufacturer, prolonged exposure to extreme UV may gradually affect color and flexibility over very long periods.

Benefits
This tarp offers straightforward protection from rain, wind, frost, and dirt. The coated weave blocks a significant portion of UV rays and helps reduce sun-related damage to covered items. It is reversible for use on either side and is described by the manufacturer as reusable across multiple seasons, which can reduce the need for frequent replacement. Because it is relatively light for its size, handling and repositioning the tarp are manageable by one or two people depending on conditions.
Usage Recommendations
For best results, lay the tarp flat and align the grommets with anchor points or tie-downs to prevent flapping. Use straps, ropes, or bungee cords through the stainless grommets to secure the cover, paying special attention to the reinforced corners when tensioning. If used to cover sharp or abrasive loads, add a soft underlay to reduce stress on the fabric. Clean the surface with mild soap and water, then dry before folding to avoid mildew during storage.
Practical Notes
The white color helps reflect sunlight and can keep covered items slightly cooler than darker covers, but it may show dirt more visibly. The woven construction and polymer layer provide good water resistance, however this is not a hermetic seal in extreme heavy downpours with pooling water. For long-term exposure in very harsh climates, periodic inspection of grommets and hems is advisable to ensure continued performance.
