In this blog post, we will discuss how to set up a shade tarp. We will look at everything from choosing the right tarp to securing it in place. Stay cool and be comfortable this year with a shade tarp!

Once you know you want a tarp for protection, choosing the right one is important when setting up a shade tarp. First of all, you will want to consider the size of the tarp. This is one of the most important factors. You will want to make sure that the tarp is large enough to cover the area that you want for shade. Next you will want to choose the type of material. The material should be durable in holding up and withstanding the elements and breathable to generate the desired airflow or windbreak, whatever your goal is. In addition, the weight of the tarp will also be important when choosing a shade tarp. The ease of handling is important, especially with this type of cover. Heavier tarps with more dense materials will be more difficult to set up. Of course, many of these heavier products will also provide more stability for windy conditions.

A variety of Shade Mesh Tarps are available to deliver shade from the damaging effects of the sun or the privacy and security created through your fence. The durable and strong yet lightweight fabrics used in these tarps and screens are made from materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and vinyl with shade factors that range from 40 up to 95 percent. They do allow air and water to pass through while blocking strong winds and flying debris. With this woven material as mentioned water does also pass through. However, the mesh material will help repel heavy amounts of rain.

When setting up your Shade Tarp or Mesh Tarp, you will initially want to select a prime location. Make sure that you choose an area that is free from obstacles such as trees, bushes, cables, power lines, and any structures. Once you have selected the spot, it is time to start setting up your Shade Tarp.

Securing your Shade Tarp is fairly simple. These covers are fitted with grommets or eyelets imbedded in the hems located in the four corners as well as around the entire perimeter with equal spacing anywhere from 12 to 36 inches apart depending on the specific product. The grommets are connected to the structure (post, pole, pergola, tree, soffit, fascia, wall, etc.) anchoring points with convenient devices such as zip ties, bungee balls, wire, cords, hooks, and other fasteners. The tarp should be stretched tightly and evenly over the desired space with these implements, but not too tight that it causes damage to the cover. The goal is to connect to as many grommets as possible to create the sturdiest union possible with tension evenly spread out throughout the Sun Shield Tarp.
