PENNY PINCHER – Tarps

CONSTRUCTION/FABRICS

20d 1.1/oz Sil/PU Polyester – Featuring 2nd generation of our silicone double coated 1.1 oz. polyester ripstop (SilPoly). This fabric is coated with a silicone/PU layer on each side and is waterproof/non-breathable. In addition to excellent waterproof/windproof characteristics, SilPoly offers lower water absorption and increased UV resistance compared to SilNylon. Particularly useful in outdoor applications to minimize sag/stretch when wet and color fade over time.

Hydrostatic Head (i.e. waterproof rating) >2000mm

All tarps have Triple Stitched Polyester Modified French Seam Ridge with double split ring ridge connection, Polyester double stitched reinforced structural edge tape detail and our unique double split ring “ZERO STRESS” tie outs. Stakes, Guy Lines and Tarp Ridge Line NOT INCLUDED.

All Tarps are shipped with a Modified French Seam Ridge, while this type of seam is less prone to leaking with proper setup you may desire to seam seal it to insure a dry pitch.
