Polyester - Tarps - The Home Depot

Question 1

What is a tarp?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Should I consider the climate when choosing a tarp color?

Accepted Answer

Climate can play a role in choosing a tarp color. Darker colored tarps absorb more heat from the sun, which might help in colder climates but could cause overheating in hot ones. Lighter colors reflect more sunlight and help keep covered items cooler in warmer weather. We carry colors such as gray, green, and beige / cream.

Question 3

How can I use tarps to prepare my home for a storm?

Accepted Answer

Tarps are a practical way to protect windows, roofs, and outdoor items from wind and rain during severe weather. Use them to cover grills, patio furniture, firewood, and leaky areas to prevent water damage.
