SHADEPLUS Clear Tarp 8'x20' vs Core Tarps 30 Mil Clear Tarp

Buy the Core Tarps 30 Mil if you need a small, genuinely heavy clear cover: at 30 mil vinyl it is roughly twice the thickness of the SHADEPLUS and far more resistant to punctures and UV clouding. Buy the SHADEPLUS 8'x20' if you need coverage area, not armor: it spans a much larger footprint with grommets every 36 inches and reinforced rope edges. Owners of thin clear polyethylene tarps commonly report tearing at grommets and hazing within a season, while thick vinyl holds up but is stiff, heavy and awkward to fold. Neither carries a written warranty, so judge them on material and construction.

• Choose the SHADEPLUS Clear Tarp if you need to cover a large area such as a woodpile, greenhouse frame or truck load and want a lightweight, foldable sheet with frequent grommets.
• Choose the Core Tarps 30 Mil if you want a small, tough, fully transparent cover for a patio table, equipment or a camping setup where puncture and UV resistance matter more than size.
