Princess Auto Canvas tarps are NOT water proof. They must be treated with canvas tent treatment available at big sporting goods store, OR you can find a recipe for canvas waterproofing on the web. The brown ones run like tea when wet and fade to a pale tan in the sun. Having said that I do like the cost when on sale and they are a nice weight. An option is to go to a boating outfit or awning shop and either buy their outdoor canvas or even have them make the tarp. Having said that I am looking for a heavy duty sewing machine to make covers and I will probably use the PA tarps with added waterproofing.
