- Is this tarp actually clear, or just translucent?
- It is sold as optically clear PVC vinyl, so you can see through it. Expect some haze and scratching over time, especially outdoors.
- Can it be used as a patio curtain?
- Yes. That is its main use. The grommets let you hang it from a frame or wire, and the welded seams hold up to wind better than taped ones.
- How cold can it get before it cracks?
- The maker rates it cold-crack resistant to about -32°C, so it stays flexible in freezing weather. It is still worth avoiding sharp folds when cold.
- Does it block UV light?
- It is listed as UV resistant, which means the vinyl resists sun damage. It does not block much sunlight, so it will not shade a patio.
- Will it cause condensation?
- Yes, clear vinyl does not breathe. Expect moisture on the inside in cool, damp weather; leave a gap for airflow if that matters.
- Is it fire rated?
- It meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84:1995 Clause 3.2. That is a common standard for tent and tarp fabrics, not a guarantee against fire.
