Description
A lightweight green sheet for garden jobs
Spread out this 5m × 5m green tarpaulin for light temporary covering or use it as a groundsheet beneath suitable items. The 50gsm woven polyethylene keeps this grade light and flexible, with hemmed edges and aluminium eyelets for attaching your chosen fixings.
It is a practical choice when a lightweight sheet suits the task. Choose a heavier covering for more demanding jobs or prolonged exposure.
One tarpaulin supplied. Fixings and tools sold separately.
Choose the light grade for the right task
The 50gsm material suits light temporary covering and groundsheet jobs. It is not a substitute for a heavier tarp where abrasion, repeated strain or extended exposure are expected.
Prepare the surface
Remove sharp debris and avoid rough edges that can catch the thin sheet. Lay it beneath suitable items without dragging heavy loads across it.
Secure it gently
Use suitable fixings through the eyelets and spread tension across available points. Check the fit and reach of any cords before attaching them.
Inspect during use
For covering, arrange support so rain can run off rather than pool. Check the sheet and attachments regularly, adjusting or removing the cover when conditions call for it.
Measure the covering route, not just the footprint
The nominal 25m² area is the flat sheet before hemming. The finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller than the stated 5m sides.
If the sheet will cover raised items, measure over their top and down the sides in both directions. Allow for overlap and your fixing arrangement as well as the finished-size reduction. A nominal 5m square will not cover a full 5m square footprint and still reach down its sides.
The diagram shows the cut dimensions, with only the corner eyelets illustrated. 50gsm describes material weight per square metre, not thickness or a load rating.
What is included?
One green 50gsm polyethylene tarpaulin in a nominal 5m × 5m cut size, with hemmed edges and 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Ropes, bungees, pegs, frames and garden tools are not included. Additional quantities supply separate sheets.
Questions about this lightweight tarp
Is the finished sheet exactly 5m × 5m?
No. The dimensions describe the cut size before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. Allow for the actual covering route, including any drop and overlap, before selecting the size.
Is 50gsm the same as heavy duty?
No. This is a lightweight range for lighter temporary jobs. Choose a heavier covering where the task involves more abrasion, repeated strain or prolonged exposure. GSM is material weight per square metre, not a strength guarantee.
Are fixings supplied with it?
No. One tarpaulin is supplied. Choose suitable fixings separately and check their fit, reach and anchor arrangement. Avoid overtightening a lightweight sheet.
Can it be used for temporary roofing?
No. This tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
