Kotap MESH-1016 Durable Polyethylene Mesh Shade/Truck Tarp for Patio, Garden, and Landscape Uses, 6.5-Ounce, 10 x 16-Foot, Black Review

I bought two 10x16 screens to hang from the ends of my canopy to reduce the amount of pine pollen getting on my tools and other items stored there. The first screen I opened and unfolded has a large defective area and will no doubt fail like a crack.

10 x 16 ft. The mesh tarpaulin solves the problem of the tarpaulin bulging while driving and fasteners snapping or eyelets tearing out. This is a good, durable tarp, well made, but lighter and much cheaper than my favorite tarps. Highly recommended for covering loose cargo that ends up in landfills.

I don't think it blocks as much light as they say but it looks like a decent tarp. I am using this to cover the front of my RV's port. You can see through it very well. I think it catches most of the rain before it hits the front of the RV and probably blocks some of the UV so I'll keep it on until it breaks. After that, I'll probably look for something that blocks more light.

We bought this to walk around a large kennel, although advertised as 'shading' it doesn't 'shade' as much as we wanted , the light is still quite little. It's well made, heavy, good stitching with heavy eyelets. I was able to cover a large area with a tarpaulin and secure it with thick cable ties. We are considering ordering another one in place of the first for additional shade and drainage benefits.

Coincidentally, these were roughly the exact measurements for our backyard patio cover. I just threw it away and used BX cable clamps in a couple of places to secure it. It cuts out about 50% of San Diego's sunlight, and you can sit under it on days when sitting outside of its cover would be unbearable. He transformed the patio for $50 and put in half an hour of his time. It has survived the summer and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of wear. Great product and even better price. Don't…

I am retired and I travel and camp 365 days a year. Shade is the key to comfort. This tarpaulin is very well made. The grommets are well secured and I don't have to worry about my poles pulling the grommets out of the tarpaulin. This is a quality product at a great price. For my converted van, I can easily create a circle of shade around my car and sit in the direct Arizona sun while I charge my solar panels. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a shading item. I am very…

Love the quality and construction of these awnings. I use dump trailers for construction and need to pack loads to move the trailers from site to landfill. Tried a regular tarp be it light blue or brown heavy duty PVC but on the Autobahn at speeds they tend to wear down and eventually fall apart. These durable mesh tarp nets keep dirt in place and won't fall apart. The wind goes through the tarpaulin and holds the debris in place. These tarps don't catch the wind, so don't tear them. The…

After going to the local discount truck store and buying a tarp that always seemed to be on sale, I decided to try another brand. The truck magazine tarp sometimes didn't fit on my 6x12 dump truck. Two of the four tarpaulins were slightly shorter than the other two and didn't cover the entire area, and the eyelets fell off. This tarp has heavier grommets and heavier material. I was a little hesitant to keep heavier items on top of the dump when using cargo tarps because they are very flimsy…
