The tarp is designed especially for covering hay. It is 10 times better than the used "billboard" tarps that others sell. It is easy to handle and easy to tie down. It stays in place. Both ends of the tarp have a bright orange tag that makes centering the tarp very easy. Although the tarp is quite large, one man can actually manage to install the tarp due to the way the tarp is initially folded when it arrives. The size calculator provided on the website is also very accurate. As far as durability is concerned, only time will tell. It does however, appear well made.
