Product Description
Blue Tarpaulin (15 x 12 ft, 110 GSM) is a versatile, professional-grade protective sheet widely used by contractors, transporters, and homeowners across India for reliable weather protection. Its high-density polyethylene weave is designed to be 100% waterproof, making it an essential tool for safeguarding cement bags, machinery, and open construction sites from heavy rain and dust.
At 110 GSM, this tarp provides the perfect balance of portability and strength. It is heavy enough to withstand moderate wind and rain, yet flexible enough to be easily folded, stored, and transported. The UV-stabilized coating ensures the fabric does not peel or crack under harsh sunlight, extending its lifespan for outdoor use.
The 15 x 12-foot size is ideal for covering mid-sized vehicles, protecting terrace gardens during monsoons, or creating temporary sheds for laborers and equipment. Each sheet features reinforced stitched hems and rust-proof eyelets spaced along the edges for secure tie-down.

Recommended Applications
- Construction Site Protection: Covers expensive raw materials like cement, sand, and bricks to prevent moisture damage and hardening.
- Monsoon Sheds: Ideal for creating temporary rain shelters or "pandal" roofing for outdoor events and residential terraces.
- Logistics & Transport: Used as a truck or trolley cover to protect goods from rain, dust, and wind during transit.
- Agricultural Use: Covers harvested crops, haystacks, and farm equipment; also used as a floor liner for drying grains.
- Home & Garden: Protects outdoor furniture, AC units, and vehicles (cars/bikes) from bird droppings, sap, and rain.
-
Camping & Outdoor: Acts as a durable groundsheet for tents or a quick-setup canopy for shade and rain protection.
Usage Guidelines
- Unfold Carefully: Spread the tarpaulin over the object or area you wish to cover. Avoid dragging it over sharp metal edges or broken glass to prevent accidental punctures.
- Secure the Eyelets: Use high-quality nylon rope or bungee cords through the aluminum eyelets. Ensure the tension is distributed evenly across all points to prevent tearing during high winds.
- Create a Slope: When using as a roof or shed, always install at an angle (slope). This allows rainwater to run off freely and prevents "water pooling," which can stress the fabric.
- Avoid Sharp Contact: If covering machinery with sharp corners, place a piece of cloth or foam over the sharp points before laying the tarp to extend its service life.
-
Storage: Before folding for storage, ensure the tarp is completely dry. Storing a wet tarpaulin can lead to mold and unpleasant odors.
FAQs
1) Is this tarpaulin completely waterproof?
Yes. The 110 GSM HDPE material is 100% waterproof and leak-proof, designed specifically to repel heavy rain and moisture.
2) What does "110 GSM" mean?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre. 110 GSM is a "Medium Duty" grade. It is significantly stronger than thin "throw-away" liners but remains light enough to be handled by one person easily.
3) How many eyelets (holes) does it have?
The tarpaulin features rust-resistant aluminum eyelets spaced approximately every 3 feet along all four reinforced edges, allowing for secure lashing.
4) Will the blue colour fade in the sun?
The material is UV-stabilized to slow down the fading process and prevent the fabric from becoming brittle, though some minor colour fading is normal after prolonged, multi-year exposure to extreme sunlight.
5) Is the size exactly 15 x 12 feet?
In the tarpaulin industry, the "Cut Size" is 15x12. The "Finished Size" may be a few inches shorter (approx. 2–3%) due to the heat-sealing of the hems and edges.
6) How do I clean the tarpaulin?
Simply spray it down with a water hose and use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the UV coating.
