Yard Tarp with Drawstring-Poly Rope in Hem- Multi-Purpose Cover (8.2x8.2)

Yard Tarp with Drawstring-Poly Rope in Hem- Multi-Purpose Cover (8.2x8.2): I'd never done much gardening work and didn't know what to expect when I had to cut down a small but super-dense tree. This tarp was surprisingly useful as it completely contained a tree's worth of leafy, tough branches. Even the many sharp cut ends didn't cause any punctures. It was easy to transport the drawn tarp to a big dumpster for emptying. And the original cut site required minimal cleanup because the tarp had contained 95% of the cuttings. Good size, tough material, smooth drawstring. Highly Recommended.

I chose these for the affordability because, initially, I couldn't justify spending the money on proper outdoor furniture covers. However, in less than a year outside covering my furniture, these yard tarps all deteriorated under the California Central Coast sun, rainy winter, and high wind. So, if you plan on leaving this outside for long periods of time, it won't hold up. Also, it was the biggest pain to use the plastic rope ties to secure the tarp to the furniture; It was rare for the ties to hold during high wind gusts, and when we did get it tight, it dissuaded us from wanting to uncover the furniture fully for use; which just became an eye-sore entertaining with the tarps still attached to our outdoor couch etc. I ended up much happier with the Veranda and Amazon Basics Furniture covers even though I spent 20-30 dollars more.

I get a ton of leaves every fall, so many that my blower can't handle it. This tarp makes it easy to load it with leaves then I drag them into the woods. Much better than a plain tarp.

Great for working around yard collecting trimmings and clippings

This tarp is an awesome value. Allows you to fill it with a heavy load of leaves and/or yard debris and easily pull the corners together to carry or drag it to your desired dumping point. We bought one just like this several years ago, and I made the mistake of dragging it across my cement driveway. This eventually wore holes in the tarp, and thus, the reason I just purchased a replacement! Carry if you are able to increase product life, but its cheap enough that replacement every 5-7 years is no big deal.Life Hack to share - if you have pets, spread this out on a grassy area before you get snow, pinning down the corners with bricks, rocks or something heavy. Then peel it back to expose a fresh patch of grass for them later!

Not as advertised. Add says 6' x 6', it's close but too small for what I need. Product is 5'-4" x 5'-4".

I bought this tarp for the sandbox at the childcare center I work for. I use it to cover our toddler sandbox and the drawstring I pull it as tight as I could so it will stay on. When the sandbox is not in use we can put other play toys in it.

The size is just what I was looking for. I have not had a chance to use them. I have a couple older ones that I have had for several years which are starting to wear. They have worked great for leaves.
