After 30 years of using 3 mil tarps which only last 2-3 years, I've decided to try the very thick tarps sold by https://www.billboardvinyls.com/
Has anyone else tried them out?

I ordered a 14' X 48' earlier this year and have been impressed so far. We'll see how it holds up after a couple of years. My plan is to cut it into 2' wide pieces for single stack rows.

That's exactly what I did. I also am similarly impressed with the thickness. Very tough. Not likely to get holes punched in it by the sharp edges of the wood on top of the pile.

How much thicker are they? May be a good cover for my boat. The standard brown tarp I got from the hardware store was in shreds by the end of the season. I had it draped over a frame on top of my boat. The wind wore it down. And the little snow we got.

They are much more heavy duty than tarps you can buy in a hardware store. It would make an excellent boat cover
