Q. Is Tarpaulins waterproof?

Answer

Yes, Tarpaulin can be used for many purposes. The weatherproof eyelets ensure a snug fit, even in harsh conditions. It's sturdy, lightweight, easy to work with, and impervious to water. To make it easier to secure or suspend a tarp, several designs include grommets—reinforced holes in the fabric—at the corners and along the sides. Woven polyethylene, the material used to make modern tarpaulins so inexpensive, is so closely identified with the use of tarps that the term "polytarp" has entered common usage. A user can shelter from the elements and the sun with a tarp, and they have many other uses as well.
