Description
A square grey sheet for smaller jobs
This 2m × 2m grey tarpaulin gives equal nominal reach in both directions, making it a useful shape for smaller temporary covering and groundsheet tasks. The woven polyethylene is the 200gsm grade, with reinforced hemmed edges and aluminium fixing eyelets.
Check the full covering route rather than the footprint of the item underneath. Side drops, overlaps and the finished-size allowance can use a noticeable part of a compact sheet.
One sheet supplied. Fixings and supports sold separately.
Measure both routes over the item
A square sheet has the same nominal length on each side, but the object beneath it may need different covering distances. Measure from one intended edge, over the top and down to the other edge, then repeat in the second direction.
The 4m² figure is calculated from the flat 2m × 2m cut dimensions. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller after hemming. Add room for overlap and reaching your anchors rather than choosing an exact edge-to-edge fit.
The diagram shows the square proportions. Only corner eyelets are drawn for clarity; the actual edge spacing is 1m.
Prepare, attach and check the cover
200gsm is the material weight per square metre. It does not specify thickness, a working load or an expected service life. The way you position and secure the sheet matters.
Protect the material
Remove sharp debris before laying it down, and cushion rough corners on covered items. Avoid dragging the woven sheet across abrasive surfaces.
Choose suitable fixings
The 12mm aluminium eyelets are spaced every 1m along the edges. Select fixings with enough reach and distribute the tension instead of pulling one point tight.
Avoid water pockets
Support a cover so rain can run off rather than pool. Inspect the sheet and attachments during use, then clean and dry it before putting it away.
What is in the order?
One grey 200gsm polyethylene tarpaulin, nominally 2m × 2m before hemming, with reinforced hemmed edges and 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Ropes, bungees, pegs, frames, supports and covered items are not included. Multiple quantities supply separate sheets.
Not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
Questions about this 2m square tarp
Is this PVC or polyethylene?
This grey 200gsm tarpaulin is woven polyethylene, also called PE.
Will it cover a raised item with a 2m × 2m footprint?
Not necessarily. Hemming reduces the finished dimensions, and covering the top and side drops uses more material than the footprint alone. Measure the full route in both directions and include overlap and fixing allowance.
Are the dimensions measured after hemming?
No. The stated 2m × 2m dimensions are cut sizes before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller.
Are fixing cords supplied?
No. Choose suitable fixings separately, checking their fit and reach for your installation.
