A tarp is a large sheet of flexible material that covers and protects items from rain, wind, sun, and debris. It is often made from water-resistant or waterproof materials like plastic, canvas, or vinyl, and usually includes metal grommets for easy tie-down. Tarps are commonly used for outdoor projects, camping, construction, or emergency weather protection because they are durable, reusable, and easy to store.
