Thanks, about to put the liner in my fish pond so will drop this on top of the sand for extra protection.

Hi
I don't think this is the thickest of tarpaulins not sure about long term waterproof properties.

Says £4.75 P&P for non-Prime.
How do you get it for £3.99?

Its OK, I have a waterproof liner and some basic underlay. This is just an extra layer against the sand base, overkill most likely but at this price I may as well!

Anyone think this would be good enough to keep a picnic bench covered for the winter?

I would say so esp. at this price - also very flexible has plenty of alternative uses

I think the worse "con" is advertising litres rather than gallons at fuel pumps - as we all think MPG not MPL plus it looks more attractive to the Oil companies for them to sell at £1.10 a litre than £5.00 a gallon. I feel its wrong.

The reviews (93% 4 or 5 star) don't mention that it "rips easily" or they had "wasted their money" some say the material is thin but no mention of rips. I guess it depends on how you treat it.
Did you buy this exact item from amazon?

Yeah same item, bought it last month at the same price. Didn't mishandle it, not sure how it ripped but it's very thin and as a result has limited uses compared with a similar thicker and hardwearing tarp
As for reviews..... only 27 people have bothered to review it, i wouldn't rely on this too much - i didn't feel compelled to leave a review, it cost £3.50 and it ripped, didn't surprise me really
Amazon reinstated my account after i complained, and gave me vouchers
Btw, i love how you think i would lie about a £3.50 tarp....lol! what reason would i have?? :smile::smile:

Had one of these covering something outside since march this year, threw it away last weekend as it had literally rotted away. As we have not had any really bad weather can only presume they do not like direct sunlight.

Thanks for the tip to keep its away from sunlight for extended periods.
cheers

I would say it is fully waterproof yes its sold by a swimming pool company https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bestway/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_1651922031?ie=UTF8&node=1651922031&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Bestway - if left out for a considerable time - years - it may start to deteriorate - but it's a fair price.
