How long do you think it would last out in the elements. Same as a regular tarp gets dry and rips?

They are better then the regular blue tarps. They would last longer imo. Depends on how there used and for how long. I have 2 in my b out b.

Seems to, I had mine covering my patio table/chairs all winter long and set it to the side to cover a few items I wanted to keep the weather off of this summer and it seems to still be going strong, looks brand new except for a bit of dirt on it. This is a nice heavy duty tarp, not like the cheap blue ones at the box stores.

Its one of the most durable fabrics I've found. I've only had it one year. But its lasted through a hot summer and very cold montana winter with no problems. Still looks brand new really. i'm guessing 10 years. Which would be alot of time I'd think.

We haven't time tested it in the weather for long periods but I would think it would hold up fairly well.

I wouldnt try; this is rip stop nylon; it will not wilt in a soft rain; otherwise, buy a tarp

I believe eventually it would. I don't really think it was made to withstand the elements, However if you really need to leave it outside I would get a tarp to cover it.

I used it in summer Arizona. Never had it rained on. It fell into pool and got wet. we dried it in the sun. Not plastic tarp. I think it's some kind of "cloth-like" nylon. Feels like canvas, but prob not as porous. I think it would hold water but eventually drip?? Love it for shade.

I use it to cover a motorcycle and it works great.First tarp I have had that the sun did not destroy in a couple of months.

Yes, very much so. So much so that you have to make sure you set it up so that there is a constant slope in the fabric (or you will get pools of water on the top weighing the tarp down). Survived 10 day trek at Philmont with being set up and taken down 9 of those days (we were at the same site for 2 nights to make the 10th day). I would buy again.

The flooring is made of polyethylene, basically the same stuff that cheap blue tarps are made from. It should last reasonably well with care. Without care, probably not too long. Tarps are inexpensive - I always put one under my tent to protect the floor.

I would not suggest leaving it out for more than a few days. any tarp larger than 8'x8' would cover it though. I just use a nylon blanket

I used the tarp for covering my long pile of stacked firewood. I stack the firewood on wooden pallets and tie it down with a long rope by alternating between the grommets and the pallets. The tarp fabric is typical nylon tarp fabric - not too light and not too heavy. I installed it this fall and it's held up well to a couple very windy winter-like days. So far, it's served the purpose of coveriing my firewood at the top and allowing air flow on the sides.

I would to save it from being beat up from the weather. It will last longer. :)

Yes, it's a really good tarp. It lasted the summer and has withstood lots of rain, the searing sun, and many wind gusts of over 45 MPH. I plan on getting a bigger one for my boat.

No... but with a tarp over the top or a custom rain fly it could last through a storm.

I dont know your weather but if it was where i am from I would consider a water heater wrap then the heavy duty tarp to keep it dry (or trash bag). I would also secure the top and bottom by drilling holes and use a nuts and bolts. Just an idea.

Used the tarp several times, a few times in some strong storms and no sign of damage. The tarp is made out of nylon with other syntheic reinforcements. Tie downs are made out of metal.
