Review on Premium 10ft x 20ft Brown Tarp - Extra Durable, Heavy-Duty, 8 oz. - 16 Mil Thickness by Chris Hanson

Poor workmanship... I don't usually write many reviews but this time I decided to buy the tarp based on my experience. Honestly I can only give this tarpaulin 2 stars - it should have been 1 star but I gave 2 stars for the following reasons. The tarp arrived in good condition and you can tell the material and sub components are better than the cheap tarps you can find in big stores. Unfortunately the production process is "not" up to date. After spending a lot of time installing the tarp on the long (10ft x 20ft) kennel and making some special fixings to ensure it wouldn't blow off in high winds, it was only then that I noticed the long perforated stitching throughout on the tarp. This defect was located right next to the seam of the heat-sealed tape, approximately 2 feet from the tape's weld line. So I doubt it was an error in the welding process but I really don't know... The perforated pipe leaked water which completely defeated the purpose of buying a heavy duty waterproof tarpaulin. Rather than removing the tarp and returning it (remember this wasn't just a curtain and tie setup) I decided to run a long silicone roller right along the perforated line and I can only hope it holds, otherwise I just threw away 50 bucks for half a day of installation. I would recommend inspecting the tarp prior to installation so you don't end up in the same "stupid" position. Much luck.
