Muy útil para el jardín

Used to cover a stack of wood. Good colour to be little visible.

Just what I needed. I use it to cover my winter tires.

I purchased one of these tarps more than 4 years ago (from a different retailer), and it is still going strong, and that is with daily use. (I use it to cover my bed every day to keep the cats from vomiting directly on my bedding.) It has held up extremely well (no claw marks or rips from cat claws), so when I needed another one, I bought this one, thinking it would be the same. They both have the EXACT same bar code, the EXACT same item number, and both were manufactured in Vietnam. The only thing that differs on the two packages is the lot number and the RN number, and, of course, the lot number and RN number should be different from the numbers on my other one.However, this new one seems to be AT LEAST 2 MIL thinner than my other one, which leads me to believe that Stansport has reduced their quality. Don't get me wrong, as this was not a very thick tarp even 4+ years ago, so you should not think of it as a heavy-duty tarp or even a medium-duty tarp. But for the new one to be even thinner than it used to be is a disappointment. (By the way, I could not find any MIL specification on either package.) Anyhow, this new tarp will also be used every day (to cover a chair while no one is in it), and I'm thinking my cats' claws will easily rip it when they get up on or down from the chair. That remains to be seen.The pattern of the tarp is great, but I especially like the solid tan color on the reverse side. As a matter of fact, that is the side that I make visible when using my tarps. There are rust-resistant grommets every 3 - 4 feet, but they don't seem to be equally laid out on opposite ends/sides. The four corners are double-reinforced.PLEASE TAKE NOTE IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON USING BUNGEE CORDS: The packaging states that you should not use elastic cords on this tarp because "severe injury may occur if cord detaches" - which makes me think the grommets will easily rip out if any stress is put on them...Just my assumption, as I have not used either of these two tarps in that way, nor do I intend to.I am giving it 4 stars because my other one has held up well. Time will tell about this new one.
