Shelter & Security

Heavy-Duty Tarpaulin 3 x 2 m

Larger eyeletted tarp for covering a roof leak, firewood or a vehicle after a storm
£9.99 + £8.70 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 2-5 working days. Tracked.

A 3 x 2 m polyethylene tarpaulin with eyelets about every metre. Heavy-duty tarps like this are cheap, widely available and the first thing many people reach for after storm damage.

Our listing is estimate-priced because supplier prices we saw disagreed (UK trade prices of about GBP 8 to 10 ex VAT against one page at GBP 35). Confirm a supplier before listing.

Key features

  • 3 x 2 m
  • Eyelets at about 1 m
  • Waterproof polyethylene weave
  • Reinforced corners and hems
  • Good for storm damage cover
  • Reusable

How to use it

You spread the 3 x 2 m tarpaulin over what needs covering and tie or weight it down through the eyelets.

  1. Clear the area of sharp objects and decide what you are covering, such as a roof gap, stack or lean-to frame.
  2. Unfold the tarpaulin and lay it so the water will run off, not pool.
  3. Thread rope or cord through the eyelets, which are about every metre.
  4. Tie the cord to firm anchor points, such as posts, rails or pegs, and pull taut.
  5. Weigh down the edges and check for gaps where wind can lift it.
  6. Check it again after wind or heavy rain and tighten as needed.
Tips
  • Reinforced corners are the strongest points, so tie off there first.
  • Pad sharp corners to stop the cord and tarp chafing.
  • Dry it before folding to avoid mildew.
Safety and limits
  • Do not climb onto a damaged roof in wind or rain; get professional help.
  • Keep it away from fires, stoves and heaters, as it can melt and burn.
  • A tarp can act like a sail in wind, so secure it well.
Please note
  • A temporary cover only; not a roof repair
  • Work at height is dangerous; get professional help
  • Secure well against wind
