Used billboard tarp

[camping1601]

Anyone have experience with these? I'm looking to cover a large wood pile. It gets lots of sun so if I'm lucky I get a year out of a poly tarp.

Have used quite a few growing up to cover hay. They last longer than a poly tarp but not forever.

built a ground blind out of one, last time I checked it was still there but wind had blew it over. tarp itself was still holding up. At lease 4+ years old, but in the hardwoods, so mostly shaded.

Is building a metal roofed canopy out of the question?

As far as tarps go. They are badass, last a long time.

They are still just a tarp though.

Yeah I got an opportunity to cut after some logging so I'm stacking it up while the getting is good but it's temporary.

In my experience. They are pretty tough. Not indestructable. But if its cheap or free. Yep.

Been in a few drop camps that had one of these over the canvas tent. Other than added noise because it wasn't taunt, it worked well and looked to have been on them for several years.

We use them to cover hay. They seems to outlast regular tarps but we still have to replace every year or two. Part of our problem is they get wind blown because it’s only tied down on 2 sides so they tend to rip after a while.

They are pretty sweet when new, and would work well if secured to a structure or tied down on all sides.

How are you guys trying them down? Grommets or trying to the pipe sleeve. I bought one online for 40 bucks shipped and I'm pretty impressed with it.

Always just tossed a few rounds of wood on top wherever needed

 

[jlewis.sc]

neat idea. Are you buying them from somewhere in particular?

They last longer than tarps but I noticed the one I bought had a lot of pinholes in it when we got it. You also at the mercy of the company for what you get. Mine was for a weed shop.
