Perfect weight, plenty of grommets, easy to use

I ordered the 8x10 size. It was just what I needed, and I am so pleased. It is a nice, sturdy weight, it has multiple grommets and is a good mil thickness. It was just what I needed, and I highly recommend getting one. Everyone who owns a house, car, or pet should have one of these. Great for putting on the ground for under a tent, also make a decent shade for a picnic, nice for home repair and painting, great for emergency prep, keep one in the trunk, housebreaking a pet, etc. Easy to clean. Easy to fold back up, just do it like a flat sheet and slide it into a pillowcase or trash bag.

Great for so many uses.

We find this tarp is great to assemble furniture on - we also used it to size our living room for an 8x10 rug because it's the same size. It protected the floor well through a ton of ikea assembly, and we've also used it to transport/move things that are hard or unwieldy to pick up. It's sturdy and would be good for hauling fall leaves, or keeping something dry. We'll use it for camping if we go camping sometime soon to keep the ground dry under a tent. It is a little bulky and hard to fold, but hard to imagine a tarp that isn't.

Good tarp. Great price. Worked well for me.

The Grizzly Tarp is a good quality tarp. I definitely was not disappointed. I was expecting a cheap plastic tarp, but I found it be of good quality and great for the price for sure. Like other tarps, it is waterproof and good to throw over something and tie down. There are some metal grommets like on other tarps that you can put rope through. The tarp was of the same quality that I am use to in a tarp. They do make super thick ones. This tarp is not super-thick, so don't expect it to be. If you need one that is really thick, you should buy a heavy duty one. As a general tarp to cover things, this is a good tarp. I recommend it for general use. I purchased a 5 x 7 blue tarp.

Strong and light.

This is a good strong and thin tarp. I didn’t want a really thick/heavy tarp to cover up my job sight. The reinforcing rope surrounding the tarp helped a lot. We had the ropes holding this thing up very tight that it ripped the grommet (it was so tight that it would have ripped the grommet from any tarp) however the rope kept the tarp suspended. I wouldn’t buy it for a really long term use, but for a temp rain cover it worked perfectly.

Using This to Cover a Leaky Roof

My roof leaks horribly, and I don't have the time, inclination, know-how, or finances to repair it properly. Thankfully my leaky roof is at the back of the house, and I don't suspect the homeowners association will cite me for any violations. I bought three (3) of these tarps, and nailed them down to the offending section of my roof. Apparently at some point, this section of the roof had been slated to be re-tiled, but only the tar paper was laid down, with no shingles. Eventually this tar paper began to crack and at times when it would rain, it would resemble something not unlike a waterfall just to the rear of the kitchen area. Certainly this tarp will become a victim to the hot Texas sun in it's due time. On which occasion I intend on replacing the tarp. It was a quick and easy solution. I essentially triple layered the tarp, in the expectation that the inner layer would receive the least amount of sun damage and be the least likely to deteriorate, allowing me to replace outer layers when they became visibly worn. I am so happy that my roof does not leak. If only I were a carpenter would i feel more successful.

Good for camping, durable

This tarp served me well on two lengthy international trips. The first was from Panama to Mexico, 8 countries in 6 months. The second was from Peru to Brazil, 3 countries in 3 months. This tarp came in handy for keeping me dry while camping in the rain and was durable enough to travel with and use repeatedly. The grommets around the edge were very handy in setting up camp with the 3/8" polypropylene rope I carried. Pros: lightweight, durable, inexpensive Cons: lack of color options

Travel trailer cover.

We used this to cover our 32 foot travel trailer. Its really a big tarp. We needed two people to work with it while on top of our trailer but with a little effort it did what we needed. So far it has held up well. We live in North Carolina where the winter is mild but we do get a lot of rain and sun. Since we also have little wind I can't speak to how it would hold up in the wind. But for us its working well. We priced the covers for a travel trailer and decided we needed a different option and this is working. Its been on for several months and it isn't cracking or fading or fraying so I am pleased.

Good Tarp for the Budget Minded

These lightweight blue tarps are very handy to have around for emergencies. We use them to cover our motor home until which time we will build a shed (we live in snow country and must remove the snow due to weight). The tarps help protect the RV roof from damage from snow removal tools. They also keep melt water from leaking into the RV if the roof has leaks (I need to re-seal the AC unit). But, as others have stated, this is a light duty tarp good for about one year (we live in an area with very little wind). We do sometimes get a couple of years use (winter use only) when we take them down and put them away out of the sunlight during summer months. I should also think that wind might do some damage to the tarps if not properly weighted. In short, good tarp for the budget minded.

Good Tarp

This is a good tarp for under $8 dollars compared to paying $10 dollars at UHAL. The tarp is thin but woven tightly together and the plastic is laminated. This means it provides excellent protection from rain and water. Although this tarp has UV protection, if you plan to use it in direct sunlight for a long period of time after some time it will begin to deteriorate. All in all I am happy with the tarp. Edit: its been two months since I have had these outside in direct sun light and rain and they are still in great shape. I also bought a tarp from harbor freight at the same time and that has already started loosing color. So the uv protection on this tarp really does make a difference. I use these to cover my motorcycle, and with all the rain we have been having here the bike has stayed dry. When the tarp finally begins to fall apart I will update my review. Update: After 9 months of rain and sun the tarp has begun to deteriorate. It has become brittle and rips easily. At the time I bought these they were under $8.00 and well worth it. Now I see the price has doubled. My local home depot has the same size tarp but different maker for $10.00. So you might try your local home depot or lowes first it might be cheaper.
