Description
A longer rectangle for your covering task
This 2m × 4m grey tarpaulin provides a 200gsm woven polyethylene sheet for temporary covering of suitable items or use as a groundsheet. Its cut is twice as long as it is wide, making the orientation worth checking before you order.
Hemmed edges carry 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Choose fixings to match the available anchors and the distances the cords need to reach.
One sheet supplied. Fixings sold separately.
Make sure the shorter side reaches too
A long sheet can reach along an item while still being too narrow to drape down its sides. Measure both complete covering routes, including the top, side drops and overlap needed for the fixing arrangement.
The stated 2m × 4m dimensions describe the cut sheet before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. The nominal 8m² area is flat material, not guaranteed usable coverage over raised items.
The diagram shows the 2:1 cut proportions; only corner eyelets are illustrated. Choose by the full measurements rather than area alone.
Position it around the job
Protect the contact points, use suitable fixings and inspect the cover regularly. This tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
Prepare the surface
Remove sharp debris and pad rough corners where the tarp contacts the items or supports. Avoid dragging the sheet over abrasive ground.
Spread the tension
Use the available eyelets with suitable cords, ties or bungees. Check their fit and anchor reach and avoid overtightening an isolated point.
Support for run-off
For outdoor covering, arrange a slope so rain does not collect in hollows. Recheck the sheet and attachments and adjust loose or pooling sections.
What you receive
One grey 200gsm polyethylene tarpaulin in a nominal 2m × 4m cut size, with hemmed edges and 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Cords, bungees, clips, supports and covered items are separate. Additional quantities provide separate sheets.
200gsm describes material weight per square metre. It does not give a thickness, working load or expected service life.
Choosing the 2m × 4m tarp
Will the finished sheet measure exactly 2m × 4m?
No. Those are cut dimensions before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. Allow for that reduction as well as the drop and overlap your covering task requires.
Can I turn it round to suit a longer item?
Yes, compare the two full measurement routes with the two sheet dimensions. The 4m side can follow the longer route, but the 2m side must still reach over the width and down the sides with the allowances you need.
Are ropes or bungees included?
No. One tarpaulin is supplied. The related fixing options above are separately sold; check compatibility, anchor reach and suitability for the actual setup.
Is it suitable for temporary roofing?
No. This tarpaulin must not be used for roofing or temporary roofing.
