Description
Silver covers
A small cover for a garden job and a sheet for a larger stack need different dimensions. This silver and black 300gsm polyethylene range gives you 19 choices, from a 0.65m square through to an 8m × 12m cut sheet.
Each sheet has a silver face, a black reverse and reinforced edges and corners. Select the size in the product options above, then check the guide below for its nominal flat area and eyelet spacing.
One sheet in your selected size. Fixings and supports are separate.
Which size will cover it?
Measure the route the cover will follow in both directions, including the side drops.
Measure over, then down
Run a tape over the top of the furniture, equipment or stack and down both sides. Repeat across the other direction. A ground footprint alone does not account for the height.
Leave fixing clearance
The listed sizes are cut dimensions before hemming; finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. Add room for overlap and for your flexible fixings to reach suitable anchors.
Check the selected option
Compare both measurements with your chosen size. The area figure below describes a flat cut sheet, not the footprint it will cover after draping.
Cut sizes and eyelet spacing
All options have 12mm eyelets. Their spacing differs by size, so use this reference when planning anchors and fixings.

Cut sizes are nominal. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller after hemming. Eyelet spacing is measured along the edges; the illustration does not show an exact layout.
Fix it with room to move
A supported sheet and flexible attachments help avoid concentrated strain at an edge or corner.
Protect contact points
Remove sharp debris and cushion rough corners before positioning the tarpaulin. Do not drag it across abrasive surfaces or place it against flames or hot equipment.
Spread the tension
Use flexible fixings such as bungees or elasticated ties that allow movement under load. Check their fit and reach, then distribute the pull around the perimeter. Rigid fixings can damage the edges.
Give water a way off
Support the cover so rain can drain rather than pooling. Check attachments during use, then clean away loose dirt and dry the sheet before folding it for storage.
What arrives with your order?
One silver and black 300gsm polyethylene tarpaulin in the size you select, with reinforced hemmed edges, reinforced corners and 12mm eyelets. Multiple quantities supply separate sheets. Covered items, ropes, bungees, pegs and supports are not included.
Not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing. Use flexible fixings that allow movement under load; edge damage caused by rigid fixings is not covered by warranty.
Questions before you order
Is 300gsm the thickness?
No. It is the material weight per square metre. The silver face and black reverse are the two sides of the same sheet.
Are all the eyelets 1m apart?
No. Spacing is 0.5m or 1m depending on the size. Open the size guide above to find the spacing for your chosen option.
Can I join quantities into a single larger sheet?
Ordering more than one supplies separate tarpaulins, rather than one joined or continuous sheet. Choose a suitable single-sheet size if that is what your covering job requires.
Can this be used as temporary roofing?
No. These tarpaulins are not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
