High-visibility yellow poly tarp
This 5 by 30 foot yellow polyethylene tarp weighs 3.3 ounces per square foot and is rated at 7 to 8 mil thickness. It is waterproof, acid resistant, tear resistant and mildew resistant. UV treatment helps the material withstand prolonged sun exposure. Grommets placed every 36 inches and at each corner provide multiple tie-down points.
Practical limits of polyethylene sheeting
The tarp is listed at cut size, so the finished piece will measure about 6 inches or 3 to 5 percent shorter in each dimension. Polyethylene can become brittle in extreme cold and may degrade faster under constant high UV load despite the treatment. It is not fire retardant and should not be used where flame resistance is required. Sharp edges or abrasive surfaces can still puncture the material under tension.
Installation notes and common issues
Grommets spaced 36 inches apart allow quick attachment with rope, bungee cords or zip ties. Ensure tie-downs pull evenly across the grommet line to avoid tearing the hem. A frequent problem is underestimating the finished size after hemming, leaving gaps at the edges. Wind flap can fatigue the grommets if the tarp is not snugged down at every point.

Questions about this item
Which size should I choose for my project?
This tarp is supplied in a single 5 foot by 30 foot cut size. The finished piece will measure about six inches or three to five percent shorter after hemming.
What does the 3.3 ounce weight mean when the tarp is in use?
At 3.3 ounces per square foot the material stays light enough to handle alone while still giving waterproof, acid, tear and mildew resistant coverage.
How far apart are the grommets and what does that spacing allow?
Grommets sit every 36 inches and at each corner, giving frequent tie down points for secure fastening in wind or during transport.
