- Is this tarp truly waterproof?
- Yes. PVC sheeting of this thickness is solid and does not wick water like woven poly. Water runs off the surface, and seams and grommet points are the only places to watch.
- Will it hold up outdoors through a winter?
- It handles rain, snow and wind well for a season or more. Long direct sun is the weak point: clear PVC can yellow and stiffen over time, so shade or seasonal use extends its life.
- How is it different from a blue poly tarp?
- It is clear, heavier and more tear-resistant. Blue poly tarps are lighter and cheaper but block light and fray more easily. This one is better where you want light through the cover.
- Can I use it as greenhouse glazing?
- Yes, many buyers use clear PVC for cold frames and greenhouse walls because it passes light. Leave gaps for airflow, since a sealed sheet traps heat and condensation.
- How many grommets does it have and how far apart?
- Grommets run along the edges at regular intervals, typically every couple of feet on a tarp this size. Use them with rope or bungees and add battens in windy spots.
- What is in the box?
- One clear 14 mil PVC tarp measuring 7x20 ft with grommets. Rope, bungees and fasteners are not included.
