Has been a great tarp!

Having used the tarp for over half a year I have been very happy with it and feel I can leave an honest review. The stitching and quality are great. It still looks good as new.

At a little under 6 feet tall I have used the 56” wide tarp in a low a-frame through freezing rain and snow late in the fall all the way to light drizzles this spring.

The 108” length has been plenty for me to sleep dryly using either A-frame or half pyramid. All perimeter tabs have been holding up without any wear.

Lastly communication with Simply Light Designs was straight forward and great! I was able to pick the silpoly of my choice and it was made and shipped out as promised.
