Best Tarp I've EVER Owned.
By Gary Lewis on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2011
Liked the 12' X 16' so well? I bought another in the 10' X 12' size. Awesome piece of camping equipment for me. I hang tarps up when I go camping out at my property in Western Washington. And just about anyplace else I go. I've used a lot of those less expensive tarps too. And the blue light experience isn't too bad. IF you know how to tie one out right you'll never rip an eye grommet out though. See? What you HAVE to do is? Run a rope through all the eyes. Whole circumference, one rope. THEN if and when you get it up and want to stake it or tie it down to something? Use some different cord or rope and tie off to the rope that goes through the eyes. MUCH less tension on the tarp that way. Also a lot more handy to adjust it AND you can actually use a lot more stakes and tie downs that way, too. I got some of the 3/8" X 50' camo rope from Amazon and it works great for this. THEN I also got a 1,000' spool of knock off 550 cord. Works great too. These white tarps reflect a lot of heat. Tent does not turn into an instant oven the second sunlight hits it now. Well? Guess sunlight doesn't hit the tent anymore now, does it? Cool shade. Great rain cover. Fantastic price. Great service through Amazon. And I'm going camping. G.

Not even close to size
By brdt on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2011
So I bought a 12 x 16 tarp to cover my make shift porch I am building. When the tarp was in I framed the porch to fit the length and width of the tarp. Which right off the bat I noticed was not 12x16. More like 13.5 X 17.8. I thought what the heck I can make this work. So when I finished I went to hang the tarp. But my corners were way off. The tarp wouldnt fit. I thought I was going crazy. I mean the porch is square....I think. So I measured the tarp again on all 4 sides and it was 13.5 x 17.8 on one side. The others side was 17.2. More than 6 inches off. The same for the width. It was off almost 8 inches. Which was kind of a relief, because I thought I had lost my mind and couldn't frame. It was just a crooked cut tarp. Also one of the rings came off the middle. So I stretched my frame out far enough and used bungee's. It works...but not what I ordered.
