A clear PVC tarp, 20 mil thick and 18 oz per square yard, with double-thick seams and grommets. The see-through vinyl lets light through while blocking rain, snow, wind and debris, which is why it works as a patio enclosure, greenhouse cover, pool cover or camping ground sheet. Against opaque polyethylene tarps it costs more and is heavier, but it keeps visibility and looks tidier. Owners rate it well overall; the usual complaints are stiffness in cold weather and grommets that can pull out under strong wind.
