I actually bought this tarp to replace the one I already have. The existing tarp lasted 3 or 4 seasons but eventually began to develop holes from being dragged over the lawn, mulch, rocks and concrete road. It could have lasted a few more seasons, but I wanted to be prepared for one of the holes cracking to the point where leaves are missing. I'm really shocked that none of the handles have come loose yet. What surprised me even more is that there is not a wide range of this type of product. I'm glad I found this!
