Description
A square grey cover for storage and everyday jobs
Cover suitable stored equipment, outdoor furniture or materials with this 5m × 5m grey tarpaulin. Its 200gsm polyethylene construction combines a woven sheet with reinforced hemmed edges and aluminium eyelets for attaching your chosen fixings.
The square cut gives equal dimensions in both directions, making it useful when you need a cover that drapes over the sides of an item rather than just its top.
One tarpaulin supplied. Fixings sold separately.
Measure over the item, not just across it
A 5m × 5m cut size provides a nominal 25m² of flat sheet material. It is not a promise of 25m² of usable coverage: hemming reduces the finished dimensions, and draping over an item's height uses more of the sheet.
Measure the full route the cover needs to follow in both directions. Include any drop at the sides and the overlap needed for your fixing arrangement. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller than the stated cut size, so avoid choosing a size that only just reaches.
This diagram shows the cut dimensions. The corner eyelets are illustrative, not a map of every fixing point.
Set up the cover for the job
Use suitable anchors and fixings, keep the sheet supported and inspect it regularly. The tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
Support and protect
Remove or pad sharp contact points before fitting the cover. Arrange the support so water can run off rather than collect in low pockets.
Use the fixing points
The hemmed edges have 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Spread the load across suitable points and avoid pulling one eyelet excessively tight.
Check and adjust
Check that the covered items remain secure and inspect the sheet, anchors and ties, especially after rain or wind. Adjust the cover if it loosens or water starts to pool.
What arrives with your order?
One grey 200gsm tarpaulin in a nominal 5m × 5m cut size, with reinforced hemmed edges and aluminium eyelets. Cords, bungees, clips, frames and covered items are not included. Ordering more than one supplies separate sheets.
200gsm means 200 grams per square metre of material; it is not a thickness or load rating. The sheet is intended for general temporary covering and groundsheet use, not as a structural or roofing material.
Questions about the 5m × 5m grey tarp
Is the finished tarpaulin exactly 5m × 5m?
No. The stated size is the cut size before hemming. The finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. Allow for that reduction as well as the drop and overlap your cover needs.
Are ropes or bungees included?
No. One sheet is supplied. The fixing products shown above are separate options; check that their dimensions, reach and attachment method suit the 12mm eyelets and your anchors.
Can I use this tarp as a temporary roof?
No. This product is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing. Choose a product specifically intended for that application instead.
How should I avoid water collecting on the cover?
Support the sheet to create a run-off slope, rather than leaving a flat span or hollow where rain can collect. Check the cover regularly and adjust the support or fixings if pooling develops.
