Description
A grey tarp for temporary covering
This 5m × 6m grey tarpaulin gives you a broad rectangular sheet for covering suitable stored items or laying out as a groundsheet. The 200gsm woven polyethylene has hemmed edges and aluminium eyelets for attaching your chosen fixings.
The 6m cut side provides a little more length than the 5m side. Work out which way to position the sheet from the complete route over the items, including the drop at each edge.
One tarpaulin supplied. Fixings sold separately.
Include the sides in your measurements
A nominal 30m² sheet does not provide 30m² of coverage over raised items. Material used to reach down the sides, overlap edges and accommodate the fixing arrangement is part of that same sheet.
Measure the full covering route in both directions. The stated 5m × 6m figures are cut dimensions before hemming, and the finished sheet may be up to 5% smaller. Leave an allowance rather than choosing a cover that only just reaches.
The diagram shows the nominal proportions, with only corner eyelets illustrated. The actual eyelets are at 1m intervals along the edges.
Prepare the support and fixing points
A suitable covering arrangement protects the contact points and allows water to run off. This tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
Check what touches the sheet
Remove sharp debris and pad rough corners before positioning the tarp. Avoid dragging it across abrasive ground or sharp edges.
Use suitable attachments
The 12mm aluminium eyelets provide fixing points, not a complete fixing system. Choose cords or bungees for the actual anchor distances and distribute tension.
Inspect the cover regularly
Arrange support so rain sheds off rather than collects in a hollow. Check the sheet and attachments during use, adjusting any loose or pooling sections.
What is included?
One grey 200gsm polyethylene tarpaulin, nominally 5m × 6m before hemming, with hemmed edges and 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1m intervals. Ropes, bungees, clips, supports and covered items are sold separately. Multiple quantities supply separate sheets.
200gsm is material weight per square metre. It does not specify thickness, a working load or a service-life guarantee.
Questions about the 5m × 6m tarp
Does 5m × 6m describe the finished size?
No. It is the cut size before hemming. Finished dimensions may be up to 5% smaller. Include any side drops, overlap and fixing allowance when deciding whether this size will fit.
Do I receive ropes or bungees as well?
No. One tarpaulin is supplied. Choose fixings separately and check compatibility, anchor reach and suitability for the installation.
Can it be used as temporary roofing?
No. This tarpaulin is not suitable for roofing or temporary roofing.
