Review on Grillkid 8'X10' Heavy Duty Waterproof Poly Tarp - 10 Mil Thickness Ensures Maximum Durability by Stephen Good

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Light feel, light wear

This tarp is listed as "Heavy Duty" and is 10 mils thick. It's almost twice as thick as other tarps I've seen at Revain. But it doesn't feel heavy or durable. I have a $4 5 x 7 ft tarp that feels thicker and heavier, has a visible mesh surface that I believe is some type of reinforced fiber, and after three uses feels softer than this tarp. This tarpaulin still feels "crunchy" even after it has been folded up and down several times. I'm not particularly impressed with this tarpaulin. However, it is waterproof, which is what I need most. I don't know about the UV resistance as I've only been using it to coat patio furniture for about a week. The grommets work well, we'll see how long they stay on the tarpaulin before falling out even when not stressed (this happens a lot). It's good value at around fifteen dollars.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • No mold required
