Description

One year of sunlight and wind and the results are VERY surprising! Brands: Harbor Freight, Rugged Rhino, Patiobay, CAMPMAC, Amazon Basics, Zuperia, Cartman, Foremost, Grizzly, and VEVOR. Tarps compared for performance, both while new and after a year of sunlight and wind exposure. Tests include wind and UV resistance, grommet strength, waterproofness, and puncture resistance. I purchased all the tarps and supplies used to review the tarps.

UV exposure is the Achilles heel of a lot of coatings and paints as well. While designing the F-35 fighter, we put 2'x2' panels of every kind of coating we could imagine about 50 yards from the water at Daytona Beach and we left them there undisturbed for 2 years. Sun, wind, salt spray, etc. worked those things to death. We took the data from those experiments and actually changed the formulation of our epoxies for better durability. Your tests here are real world and useful for anyone wanting to protect goods for an extended time using tarps.

Running a 1 year test is insane even for PF. Your test always reveal real world data that we can't just pull up on Google. No AI can replace what PF does! Thanx brother!

For decades I have relied on Consumer Reports' ratings. They, like you, accept no outside advertising. purchase all the tested products themselves and have built a solid, well-respected reputation. You sir, in only seven or eight years have singlehandedly become my most trusted reviewer. Amazing job and product testing.
