Core Tarps 30 Mil Clear Tarp vs Core Tarps 10' x 10' Clear Heavy-Duty Vinyl Tarp

Both are clear vinyl Core Tarps with grommets, so the real choice is thickness versus coverage. The 30 mil tarp is the tougher sheet and the better pick for abrasion, wind and repeated setup; the 10x10 tarp covers far more area at 20 mil. Owners of Core Tarps clear vinyl generally report good waterproofing but note the material stiffens in cold weather and can crease. Buy the thicker one when durability matters most, the larger one when you need to cover a big footprint.

• Choose the 30 mil 7x9 tarp if you need a smaller, tougher sheet for heavy wind, sharp edges or repeated tie-downs.
• Choose the 10x10 tarp if you need to cover a larger area and 20 mil vinyl is enough for your job.
