Description
Extra length for the route your cover takes
A longer sheet can be useful when the covering route runs over a row of stored items or down the sides of raised equipment. This 3m × 5m grey 200gsm polyethylene tarpaulin gives you a rectangular option for temporary covering or groundsheet use.
Choose its orientation before fixing it in place. The 5m side supplies the extra length; the 3m side still needs enough room for the full crosswise drape. Reinforced hemmed edges carry 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals.
One sheet supplied. Fixings and supports sold separately.
Choose the orientation before you tie it down
Lay out your measurements in two directions: along the intended 5m side and across the intended 3m side. Measure the route over the top and down both sides, rather than comparing only the footprint on the ground.
The 15m² figure is the flat area of the nominal cut sheet. Hemming can reduce the finished dimensions by up to 5%, and any side drops, overlaps or clearance to the anchors use part of the remaining material. Both directions need to fit your arrangement.
The diagram shows the rectangular proportions, with only corner eyelets drawn for clarity. The actual edge spacing is 1m.
Position it carefully, then secure it evenly
200gsm is the material weight per square metre, rather than thickness or a load-bearing rating. Good support and sensible fixing tension still matter across the covering arrangement.
Clear the contact area
Remove sharp debris before using it as a groundsheet. Cushion rough edges on covered items and avoid dragging the material over abrasive surfaces.
Choose the fixing reach
Use ties or elastic cords that fit the eyelets and reach your chosen anchors without pulling the sheet tight. Spread tension across suitable attachment points.
Check during use
Arrange a cover so rain can run off rather than collect in pockets. Inspect the sheet and attachments regularly, and clean and dry it before storage.
What comes with this tarp?
One grey 200gsm polyethylene tarpaulin, nominally 3m × 5m before hemming, with reinforced hemmed edges and 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Ropes, bungees, pegs, frames and other accessories are not included. Multiple quantities provide separate sheets.
Not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing. Choose the size and covering arrangement for your particular job rather than treating the sheet as a structural product.
Questions about the 3m × 5m sheet
Is the finished sheet exactly 3m × 5m?
No. Those are cut dimensions before hemming. The finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. Allow for that difference as well as side drops, overlap and your fixing arrangement.
Will it cover an item with a 3m × 5m footprint?
Not necessarily. Draping over a raised item uses extra material, and hemming reduces the finished size. Measure the full route over the item in both directions, including the sides and the room needed for fixings.
Are fixing cords included?
No. Choose suitable fixings separately, checking their fit, reach and the tension needed for your installation.
Can it be used as temporary roofing?
No. This tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
