RAINDEWAY 16x20 ft Heavy Duty Tan Tarp - Thick 12 Mil Weatherproof

Our review of the RAINDEWAY 16x20 ft Heavy Duty Tan Tarp finds it best suited for homeowners and outdoor gear owners who need a tough, no-nonsense cover for tarping jobs. The single biggest reason to buy is the extra-thick 12 mil construction with a 14 x 14 weave that delivers real durability and tear resistance during regular use. Practical, plain and built to last, this tarp is a solid choice when strength and reinforced edges matter more than polished styling.

Key Features

• 12 Mil Heavy Duty: The extra-thick 12 mil material and roughly 6 oz per sq yard weight offer improved puncture and tear resistance for demanding covers.
• 14 x 14 Weave: A tightly woven polyethylene structure helps the tarp resist ripping while remaining flexible enough for folding and storage.
• Waterproof Performance: The tarp is designed as a heavy duty waterproof cover to protect equipment and furniture from rain and snow in most conditions.
• UV Resistant: UV protection in the material reduces sun damage and prolongs the life of the tarp when used as a shade or outdoor cover.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Metal grommets and reinforced hems with grommets spaced about 17.7 in apart make secure tie-downs and reduce edge wear under load.
• Full Finished Size: The stated 16 ft by 20 ft finished size is practical for covering campers, patio furniture, and medium-sized loads without surprise trimming.

Who It's For

The tarp is aimed at homeowners, campers, and contractors who need a robust, multipurpose cover for outdoor items, equipment, and temporary shelters. Its heavy 12 mil build and reinforced edges are well suited to those who expect frequent handling, wind exposure, and longer-term outdoor coverage.

Those who need an ultra-lightweight or decorative shade, or who require guaranteed industrial-grade waterproofing under extreme submerged conditions, should consider specialized covers instead. Also, customers wanting a precise custom size or color match might need a different option.
