As Tarpaulins go this is definitely a good sheet of plastic. Plastic is waterproof so it's good for putting over things that are outside and could get rained on. It can also be used to protect from the sun or wind by installing as a barrier (Note that supports aren't included)

Whilst the colour choice of this tarpaulin is fairly limited in being blue, when used as a sun shelter on a cloudless day this merges with the sky and is hard to spot. This can be a danger to passing birds.

This tarpaulin is lightweight to other tarpaulins I have looked at, so can blow around easily and needs securing if left outside covering something for long periods of time. Due to the lightweight material, the tarpaulin may not be the longet lasting product out there but serves it's purpose well.

Overall if you want to buy a cost effective, practical, easily storeable (it folds up nicely) tarpaulin then this is as good as any and bargain priced.
