I initially purchased this product to place under my inflatable swimming pool. It worked well for that task, but after one summer season, I used it to provide shade for my chicken run, and that's where things got hairy.
The size is great for a variety of things, hence why I used it for multiple tasks. It was lightweight making it easy to handle and move from place to place. The grommets were spaced out adequately and were fairly secure. They kept the tarp where I needed it to be, for a time.
Where it starts failing is the waterproof-ness. Under light rain or drizzle it held up fine, anything more, and it leaked like a sieve. I think that's due to the spacing in the "weave". I wouldn't say that it's heavy-duty either, more like average-duty. I've definitely had tougher tarps. While under my pool it was sturdy enough, but using it for my chicken run wore it down pretty quickly. It started falling apart and shedding these blue plastic fibers everywhere. Not good for chickens. Over the space of about two weeks, it went from shedding to straight out falling apart, holes everywhere, so to the trash it went.
Overall, if you need an average, run-of-the-mill tarp for basic tasks, this will do the job. Don't expect anything flashy or extraordinary – it's just your average tarp.
