Replacement Tarp
Can’t find silver and black tarp.?
I live in South Florida and 5 years ago I purchased a kit with poles and a tarp to cover my small boat. The tarp is 20×12 and is silver on one side, and black on the other. Tropical Storm Fay shredded the tarp and I can’t find a replacement tarp. I purchased the kit at home Depot. I went there and they said that they do not stock the replacement tarp.
There has to be a on-line company that has these tarps.Could someone PLEASE help me!! Thank you!

Cover Up With Green Tarps
Are you just not satisfied with how your blue tarp works? It could be that you need to buy a green tarp instead. Blue tarps are good for emergencies and shade covers, but for heavier jobs the green tarps do the better job. Green tarps are made in a wide array of sizes and have special qualities that enable them to be used in a vast array of possibilities.
Green tarps are more durable than blue tarps. This is because they are manufactured from a heavier plastic. This helps them hold up over time. They do not wear out as fast as the blue tarps do. You can lengthen even their time with proper care. The green tarps usual life span is between 6 to 12 months a lot longer than the blue ones.
These tarps are usually manufactured from polyethylene. Plastic for tarps are normally gauged in a measurement of ounces. Green tarps use the gauge of 6 ounces. This is extremely durable and still has a good flexibility. Blue tarps are normally only about 3 ounces. This means that green tarps are twice as strong as the blues.
In addition the green tarps contain a coating on them. This makes the green tarps come out ahead of the blue ones, in the fact, that they stand up a year or more without getting sun rot like the blues do. Numerous of the green ones are sold with warranties good for 3 years on their durability and sun protection. They can withstand bad weather and strong winds too. This means you can feel confident using them for a covering in the back of you pickup truck, or as a covering in your backyard, these will hold up under any kind of weather conditions.
Green tarps are equipped with twice as many grommets as the blue because their grommets are spaced 18 inches apart opposed to 36 inches apart like the blues. This enables them to be secured down much firmer whether to your load, vehicle, or the ground. You can have more tie down spots and not as much stress on one given edge because the tension is more evenly distributed around the outside of the tarp.
The coating that the green tarp is covered with makes is completely waterproof. This coating is on both sides of the tarp. You can keep you and your load completely dry with it. You can place this tarp on the wet ground so that you can place your tent on top of it. You will stay nice and dry in your tent. Wood piles will not get wet whether it be logs for fires or construction lumber. Whatever you have to cover with these green tarps, it will not get wet as long as you make sure it it totally covered.
The color green also makes the tarp blend in with nature, in case you dwell out in the country. So if you are trying to have shade or cover a roof with it, it will not stand out that much. The green color can be eye pleasing for other types of applications too. The bright blue of the other tarps can stand out vividly on the hand.
Green tarps are more worth the money because of them being waterproof, sun rot proof, rip resistance, and more inconspicuous to use. They also last many times longer, which means less replacing them, this saves you a lot of money that you can spend on other things. The many blue tarps out there are super detrimental to the environment, with them having to be thrown away more often. So purchasing the more economical, heavier duty, and more environmentally friendly green tarps is a smart thing to do.
