GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter'. 100GSM indicates the weight of the material, suggesting a balance between lightweight handling and durability for general-purpose use.
Yes, the clear 100GSM tarpaulin allows light to pass through, making it suitable for temporary greenhouse structures or cloches.
The finished product may be up to 10% smaller than the ordered cut size. It's advisable to account for this by using tie-downs that allow for adjustment or by ordering a size slightly larger than your minimum requirement.
While durable, the 100GSM tarpaulin is best secured tautly to minimize wind resistance. For very windy conditions, higher GSM tarps or professional installation might be more appropriate.
Use the grommets (if available) with ropes, bungee cords, or straps. Ensure the tarp is stretched tightly over the object to prevent flapping and water accumulation.
Use a mild detergent with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. Rinse well and air dry completely.
The polyethylene material is water-resistant, meaning it effectively repels water. However, seams or grommet areas may be points of potential leakage if not properly managed or sealed.
This is due to the +/- 10% size variation inherent in cut tarpaulins. Adjust securing points to fit the available size. For critical size requirements, consider ordering a larger cut size.
Ensure the tarp is pulled taut and has a slope or adequate tension to allow water to run off. Use additional tie-down points if necessary.
Polyethylene can become less flexible in very cold temperatures. Handle with care and allow it to warm slightly before attempting to unfold or secure.
Thoroughly clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, rinse, and ensure the tarp is completely dry before storing.
Setup: Lay the tarpaulin flat over the object you wish to cover. Secure it using grommets (if present on your model) with ropes, bungee cords, or tie-downs. Ensure the material is taut to prevent water pooling and reduce wind resistance. Due to potential size variations, allow for slight adjustments when securing.
Compatibility: Compatible with various securing methods including ropes, bungee cords, and straps. It can be used to cover a wide array of items and structures.
Care: Clean the tarpaulin with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes, which can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow the tarp to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
