20 Best Heavy Duty Waterproof Tarp (2023 Updated)

Actual size 9 foot 4 inch X 19 foot 4 inch. Stated size should indicate it will be “greater then 3%” shorter the advertised size. i. e. 20-3%=19. 4 Decimal, but is actually (3. 5%) 19. 3 decimal or 8 inches shorter then stated 20 Foot or 3.

5% shorter. Perhaps it was 10 X 20 Foot cut size before seeming the edges? I had to buy a second tarp to cover 20 X 10 foot span for my roof repair. Also seems to be the same thickness as a non heavy duty tarp.

Dose not measurer 10 mm thick. Perhaps it was 10 mm thick before thermally bonding the weave? Has plastic corner piece, but has the same cheep thin aluminum eyelets as any other tarp, that don’t hold up to pulling.

Low price seems to be the benefit. James.

I buy this tarp about every 18 months. I use it on a17. 5 ft. Bass boat. The white doesn’t seem to mold or sun rot as bad as other colors. It will start to shed dust when it is time to buy a new one.

I have had occasional grommets pull out, but the reinforced holes haven’t triggered rips. So I would definitely recommend it for year round use. Price is right!.

its a very nice high quality tarp! and for those that have left bad reviews on this tarp saying its not actual size must not know that when you buy a tarp its always a few inches shorter than actual size so there is no reason for this tarp to have bad reviews because it deserves 5 plus stars for Quality,Affordability and Fast Shipping.

I bought this last week, and on the first drag into the trailer, it tore. Duct tape worked and we were just more careful to avoid any actual trailer contact with anything metal.

Bought this to cover old plastic chairs at the lake that have to be left out in a sheltered area for the winter. I think this will hold up well.

I bought this awhile ago as a tree came thru the roof and we needed to cover the bed until the work is done. It seems to be very sturdy.

I bought one of these 3 years ago for my boat shed and it is still almost as good as new. I wanted another for an rv shed in a larger size but Grizzly didn’t offer the size I needed. So I found the size I needed in another brand and it was junk, lasted less than 7 months.

I decided to get the Grizzly for the rv shed but with no overhang. I am hopeful it will be a durable as the original one I placed on my boat shed 3 years ago.

strong and durable tarp to cover our broken hot tub. We put plywood, connected with smaller and shorter wood pieces, and have the wooden top sits on top of the 8×9 tub surface. Since the tub is outdoor, we have to use the tarp to cover the wood top to protect it.

It has been raining for the whole week, the tarp is working great.

Great quality and completely waterproof. We used this tarp to cover out outside barbeque area and the fact the this tarp had many grommets along the sides made it very usefull. Thanks

I have used tarps like this in the past, and recommend using it where it can do the job. If you do that, it will serve you well. What it can’t do: — It can’t replace a strong canvas tarp. It rips and tears easily, or if pulled tight against something sharp.

— Don’t expect the tarp to not rip out the grommets if you have a lot of strong winds. — It won’t last forever. Sun and soft rubbing will eventually cause a hole to fray through. What it can do: — It is waterproof (unless it rips).

It will keep whatever is underneath it dry. — If you are careful and choose jobs it can do, it should last at least three years. The down-and-dirty: This tarp, if ripped or frayed, will break down into strands of plastic.

If you don’t do anything to fix that issue, you will have strands tangling in other items in your yard. To fix, use duct tape. Tape on both sides for max hold, and easier to fix small tears before they expand to holes with strands flying about.

Once you know it can rip or tear, you can do things to help it. My last tarp kept my wood (not always the smoothest items) dry for two years. Last year (third year) I didn’t repair the tiny rips and had some wet wood.

This year, I folded the old tarp and placed it on top of my wood pile (picture rows about 15 feet long, 5 feet deep). The folded old tarp protects the new tarp from sharp points as well as fraying when the wind blows.

Expecting the new tarp to last at least three years if not longer due to the old tarp protecting it. Very satisfied.

I bought this to protect my lawn underneath an inflatable water slide. Last summer I didnt have any underlayment and the yard ended up a mess because of all the kids running around on the wet grass. Ive only used this once so far but it worked like a charm.

I staked in down with six stakes with zero issue. No tearing. Its worth noting that it is definitely light duty. It feels very thin and it isnt exceptionally waterproof. I wouldnt recommend leaving this outside in the elements for any extended period, especially with any sort of stress on it.

Wow. If your looking for a blue tarp then look no further. This tarp out tarps them all! Stand out from your loser friends and get these tarps. Be the talk of the town and cover stuff in style! Never go to bed worrying about your uncovered things in the back yard.

I got one tarp for every item in the yard. Now I sleep well not worried about them being uncovered.

Even though this tarp has the reputation of being the best in the market & it claims in its packet cover & I quote ” Rain, UV, Rust, All Season Protection, Mildew resistant, deform, shrink”. One of the ones that I originally purchased on 08/27/2019, order #: 667157 (website order # 15437) with product name: Super Heavy Duty Brown Poly Tarps 15 X 15.

SKU: BHD-1515-A, my yard man secured it over a patio set in our back yard, over a year later it commenced (began) to tear (rip) on the area on top of each patio chair leg since these chairs were upside down beneath the tarp.

The combination of these protruding items along with collecting rain water in large concave pockets that the tarp would form led to this ripping which was significant enough that my yard man agreed with me that we needed to dispose it & then for me to purchase a new one since I understood that there were extenuating circumstances such as the pointed chair legs along with the rain water large & heavy tarp pockets.

In order to prevent it ripping the new alike new one again, I suggested for my yard man to put the chairs upside up so no pointed legs & he placed a large plastic container in the middle of the patio table so it would form a “pyramid” & then for gravity to drain the rain water away so no rain water pocket collection.

Since I purchased the same product, it demonstrates that I still believe that this is a good quality tarp thus I am not complaining in here but my point is that the ripping of the first one I purchased in 2019 is not consistent with the cover claims even though there were understandable extenuating circumstances.

The one that I received today is not the replacement one since that one is already installed but another one for my automobile so once again it demonstrates that I believe this is a good tarp. The last one is the same as the ripped & its replacement other than the SKU ends with a W & not an A.

The rated 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the above reported experience which once again is understandable.

The tarp is of good quality and the right size. Lots of tarps are short. This seems to be of good quality and 16 mil thickness. Time in the sun will be the ultimate test of durability and quality. I am hoping for duration of this product.

Thanks tarp wholesalers.

I was looking for a true heavy duty trap. This 16 mil Poly Tarp is just that. I wanted it to enclose the frame work of a 12′ x 20′ Shelter frame that would stand up to the weather. I needed to get the 24′ x 36′ Tarp it was the only size to completely cover over the top and cover both sides to the ground , the extra 16′ in length worked out well because i could completely cover the back end.

Now I have a Dry Storage for my Vehicle. You can’t go wrong with this tarp !!.

I bought this tarp in 2018 and liked it so well I just bought another. I used the first one to protect my lawn equipment from the elements. My parents are using the second one to winterize their deck to keep my cats warm and dry in the winter.

I grew up with Army canvas tarps. These aren’t as heavy but just as useful.

We bought this tarp to replace a cheap plastic-like tarp to block out strong westerly winds and driving snow in our open ended car port. The cheap one’s groments ripped out within a week. The canvas one shows no negative effects and is performing even more than expected.

I realize winter is still early, but so far so good. Highly recommended!.

We purchased a large canvas from Mytee. The quality is EXCELLENT! Shipping kept me informed at every step. My only problem, wish I had more color options. Thank you.

I have multiple vehicles and they spend a lot or time in the garage. I use these to cover my vehicles the 6 x 20 is perfect for this job. Occasionally a bird or a cat may get closed in over night and this help protect the finish.

Bought this to help protect the cargo area of my new car when I have to buy horse, goat, fowl, dog & cat food. It is perfect.

Extra thick…should not shred up like the El Cheapos ! Thicker than normally rated as ” heavy duty”..

When removing the tarp and stretching it out we did not see the small tear near one of the grommet holes. It wasn’t until the tarp was up and we had already started fastening it that we saw the small tear.

By this time we were not going to try to return it. We had some strong gorilla tape and just went with it. Also, I’m not sure how it’s supposed to be water proof when you can see through the threads when it’s stretched out.

I just received my tarp and started using it, so I haven’t had it long enough to write a review. It seems to be sturdy and heavy duty but we’ll see. The last tarp I purchased only lasted a year before it started dry rotting from the sun and rain.

I use it to cover my riding lawnmower and now I have a storage unit to put up for that so I won’t be using this tarp very long. I believe in the long run it would also begin to dry rot from the weather.

Even though it’s heavy duty I believe a tarp more thicker and sturdier would be better for year around weather conditions.

Great heavy Duty Tarp. I’ve bought a few of these and they outlasted every other tarp that I bought over the years. I have one of these tarps covering a boat that’s been outside for the past three years through hot summers and snowy cold winters and it still looks like brand new!.

My fitted pool cover finally gave out and I wasn’t about to spend $2800 to replace it. This tarp will be perfect. I was impressed with the thickness and quality of it. I bought another one to cover a gazebo on our deck but decided not to use it because it’ll block our view out the back door.

I wanted to return it but DIY doesn’t have free return shipping like everyone else does. Other than that the price was good. So the 4 stars are for the quality of the tarp. If you’re ok with paying for returns, the transaction and quality was good and I would recommend.

very strong tarp, and nice clean looking. Made a tarp garage for my large lawn swing, because it is to large to put away in the winter. I have another tarp homemade cabana, that withstood a n. Wisc. winter ffor 2 years now.

No blistering or tearing. Love this tarp and seller. Thank you.

This is a nice heavy duty tarp and the best price I found anywhere for a tarp with the same specs. Can’t give feedback on it’s durability yet as I just put it on the boat. Will let ya know next spring how it held up through the winter in upstate NY.

Winds can be brutal along the front range of Colorado and into Nebraska. While traveling to deliver a precious load of household goods to our daughters new home, a raging storm with severe winds created quite a problem.

We’ve travelled in severe winds like this before but grommets from cheaper tarps couldn’t withstand the stress. We’re so happy to report that the quality of this strong tarp exceeded our expectations.

Grommets held beautifully, grandpas furniture was delivered safely to a very happy daughter to fill her new home.

Bought this tarp to cover our above ground pool after the original cover ripped and before it warmed up enough to open the pool. It has held up to the late winter weather and windy early spring weather of west Idaho.

Looking forward to using it to cover the pool over the winter; I feel it will be worth the money.

I bought a job smart 20×40 tarp at tractor supply to cover a porch roof we are working on. The porch faces North and takes full weather. We used bungy and rope to secure tarp through grommet holes in tarp which were well placed and backed up with support pieces.

High continuous 40 mile hour winds and driving rain and not a drop of water inside ! Worth the money for the security it gave us. Built to last and do the job. Thank you.

Excellent Product for a roof on an out building. I didn’t want to replace the roof just yet. Holding very well and should last for several years here in Minnesota.

thin and not able to use as attended, but I will keep it in my garage to find some use for it, since it was a great discount price

Keeps my hay nice and dry and secure from bad weather. Excellent

Now that I’ve found these tarps , I refuse to use any others. These White HD Tarps are the sturdiest , most weather durable and the slick treated surface causes the moisture to evacuate immediately. And white does not become overheated by the sun.

Just try one of these and you 2 will be a fan! I even buy spares for unforseen emergencies.

It is exactly want I wanted. A nice looking tarp to cover my kiddie pool. Actually an adult soaking pool. Works perfect.

I’m using the tarps as covers for my wood piles. They are strong and I think they will hold up well.

We have utilized this tarp to cover a very old Sheepherder wagon, we utilize as a historic B&B. Unfortunately after the installation we have noticed at least 6 pinholes in the tarp, 3 or 4 being in the horizontal area of the wagon.

We noticed the pin holes when the sun returned the next day obviously after a heavy nighttime rain. Water droplets did enter the wagon, wetting the bed and the AC unit. We then purchased some silicone sealant to seal all holes.

Unfortunately the silicone is visible although we tried to apply the least amount possible to achieve water tightness. With a premium product such as this (and a premium price too), we would have not expected any such defects in the material.

Because it took 2 people several hours to properly install and tighten the tarp to the frame and the holes were not detected until the next day, we have chosen not to return this product and live with the quite noticeable defects.

My 8’ x 10’ OD tarp arrived at 1100, 13 March 2020. Not sure how it got all the way across country so quickly, but I was glad to have it sooner than I expected. When I took it out of the box and bag I was immediately impressed that I no longer had to use a cheap, flimsy blue tarp ever again.

This thing is like rhinoceros hide. Folded, a solid block of canvas 16” x 10 ½” x 5 ½”. I knew I would never fold it back this well so I took pictures and notes. Once unfolded, the extreme quality was even more evident.

Beautiful stitching throughout and super reinforcement everywhere. Ok, it ain’t cheap, but at this stage of life I’m willing to pay for quality that will last. Highly recommended without reservation.

Its hard to get excited about tarps but this one might do it for you. I have used a lot of tarps over the years that were supposedly heavy duty. Most were bad but a few were ok. The biggest problem for most was the brutal southern sun.

It will destroy any plastic type in a heart beat. Last year I tried a heavy duty one designed for covering hay. It lasted 4 mos. before turning to threaded wheat. All did have one thing in common, the grommets always ripped out.

When I opened up this tarp I was in shock, the pictured did it no justice. There was so much reinforcement especially in the corners that I feel they will be around long after the tarp itself. Hopefully I believe I have found a great tarp.

Time (sun) will tell.

I’ve had this tarp for about two weeks. What I noticed was it’s heavier than ones I’ve had before from different companies. The feel of it tells me it’s going to last much longer than what I’ve had before.

The tarp was shipped prety quick. The sizing was better than the other tarps I’ve bought. I use the tarps to cover our paddle boards on a rack 4 feet tall, 3 feet wid and 11 feet in length. This is the best fit I’ve found on my multiple searches for a tarp.

Tarp is way too small… spent all morning replacing the old tarp which was actually 7 Foot… this one 8in too short not very happy and already 1 I-hook already ripped…

Very pleased with this tarp. It is longer than any I have ever had. reaching both poles with very little gap. It is heavy duty and should work very well.

The tarp far exceeded my expectations. I got it to cover my power chair during transport on the back of our SUV. It fit perfectly and there are plenty of grommets for the tie downs. I priced ready-made weather covers and the price difference was 5 times more than the tarp.

Also, the ready-made covers are thin and very flimsy. Some were not even weather proof. I highly recommend this tarp for any application.

I have worked in the industry for many years of my life. I have worked around other companies and have seen and touched many pieces of equipment. There is CHEAP and there is VALUE. You usually dont get QUALITY with cheap, but sometimes you can get QUALITY for a VALUE price.

That is the case with Tents and Table products. Will definitely buy again without hesitation!.

This tarp was ripped and sealed together poorly by the manufacture. It’s not heavy duty. It doesn’t have the rope reinforced on the edges. And in order to have them fix it for you they ask you to send it back before they send you a new one.

The customer service here it’s pretty horrible. It’s disappointing to spend so much money on a tarp that has holes and then to have to tape and glue it back together because the company can’t send you a new one.

I’ll never shop through this company again it’s not worth the deal.

Absolutely the heaviest Tarp i have ever bought. 50 Bucks and a durable roof cover for our new home 14 x 19 garage roof. No more water leaks before i can plan a permanent roof replacement. All other covers failed, this is thick enough to secure to roof against high winds.

One of the best half a hundreds i have ever spent !!!.

This tarp was just what I expected, in fact a bit heavier than I anticipated. The stitching was done neatly and the eyelets are sturdy at approximate (not exact) two foot spacing. The waterproofing gives it a distinct odor (not offensive, just be aware).

It appears to be a good value but only the test of outdoor weathering conditions over a period of time will decide if I would buy this product again to rate as a 5 star.

The fabric is awesome. I just wish the size was right. It measures 19′ 1″ X 15′. I’d gladly pay a few dollars more for the size that was described.

My husband used this tarp to cover his beloved fishing boat. The boat was too big for garage, cant have carport in our subdivision. Very, very heavy duty at great price. He was able to sell the boat at premium price because the tarp kept it in great condition.

I am reviewing 1225 super heavy duty 16 MIL Brown tarp, this tarp is heavier than I expected and exceeds my expectations. I purchased it rather than shrink wrapping my boat, it looks like it should last for several seasons.

Does not blow around in the wind like the blue tarps do. Corner grommets are reinforced with extra material. Initial expense higher than blue tarp, but a great value compared to the cost of shrink wrap, better environmental choice too.

Very disappointed in tarp very thin, I don’t believe its 14 mils and 3 layers, it looks like on layer. Seam in center looks like you can just pull it apart. not heavy duty. very cheep compared to my last tarp I purchased for 38 dollars don’t buy.

Thick and seems durable. Only oddity is the grommets are not evenly spaced. I hung it by gromets.to keep sun and weather off some external shelving noticed spacing when I hung the hooks.

I had been looking for a tarp that was not blue!! I don’t like covering my items in my backyard with blue tarps for my neighbors to see! I bought 2 tarps, and I was extremely surprised at how well they are made.

I am very happy and will be ordering more. Excellent product!.
