Description
A long blue sheet for covering jobs
This 4m × 6m blue tarpaulin provides a long rectangular sheet for temporary covering and garden work. Made from lightweight 50gsm polyethylene, it folds away between uses and has a nominal flat cut area of 24m² before hemming.
Hemmed edges have 12mm aluminium eyelets every 1m. Choose suitable cords or ties separately, planning enough reach to your anchors rather than stretching the sheet to close a gap.
One sheet supplied. Tools, pots and fixings are not included.
Allow for width, drape and fixing reach
Decide where the longer 6m side should run, then check that the shorter 4m side reaches over the item too. Measure across the top and down both sides in each direction, adding any overlap and fixing clearance.
These are nominal cut dimensions before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller, and side drops use part of the sheet. The 24m² nominal flat area is not a fitted-cover footprint.
The diagram shows the 3:2 cut proportions. Only corner eyelets are drawn for clarity; the specified spacing along the edges is 1m.
Use the lightweight sheet with care
50gsm describes material weight per square metre. It is not a load-bearing rating or a promise of protection in severe weather.
Prepare the contact area
Clear sharp debris and cushion rough edges. Place tools and pots carefully rather than dragging them over the material or using the sheet to carry a load.
Fix without overstretching
Choose suitable ties or elastic cords separately. Check their fit and reach, distribute tension and arrange covers so rain can run off rather than collect.
Clean and fold away
Inspect the sheet and attachments during use. Remove loose debris, clean and dry the material, then fold it for storage between jobs.
What is supplied?
One blue 50gsm polyethylene tarpaulin, nominally 4m × 6m before hemming, with hemmed edges and 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Ropes, bungees, pegs, supports and garden tools are separate. Multiple quantities provide separate sheets.
Not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
Questions about the 4m × 6m tarpaulin
Is the finished sheet exactly 4m × 6m?
No. These are cut dimensions before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller, so include that difference as well as the drape and fixing allowance.
What does 50gsm mean?
It means 50 grams of material per square metre. This is a lightweight tarpaulin grade; the figure does not specify thickness or how much weight the sheet can carry.
Are cords or pegs included?
No. Choose suitable fixings separately, checking their fit, reach and the tension needed for your arrangement.
Can it be used as temporary roofing?
No. This tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
