Re-purposed vinyl billboard tarps

[southsoundtree]

Any experience with these?

A guy I used to work for used these, they worked great.

For what use? I've used leftover boat shrink wrap for wood piles before, works pretty well

We used them like you'd use any other tarp. For clean up, etc. Buy the big piece and cut it to any size you need.

I'm looking for firewood/ lumber/ equipment coverings.


Cleanup tarps are way better with handles, IME.

Shipping is really expensive but the tarps are super HD

One other thing to consider about waterproof tarps is that they can hold moisture in as well as out. So long term storage should have good ventilation preferably over a hard paved surface or well drained dirt, not chips.

I've been eyeing these as a waterproof underlayment for a green roof on the side of my garage. If I go through with it I'll post some feedback.

We bought a roll (i think it was 1000 feet long) of miss printed billboard vinyl for use as weed block under water. Stitched rebar to it with zip ties for balast.... anyways other story

3 years being under water in full sun and now going on 10+ years on dry land without any issues... Not like the blue/orange tarps that would've shredded themselves in the wind by now. Using left over material tovoer wood piles and as a "temporary" permanent back wall on an out building (that one you can still clearly read kaufman's on)

It's been a long time since it was purchased... but i think after motor freight delivery it was under $1000 for 12,000sq ft
