Bob and Clive, thanks for the update on the PA silver tarps. I have an old one that has been outside for 7 or 8 years and if it wasn't for the mice it would still be good. I was going to buy a couple of PA tarps on sale, starting today, but after your posts I will rethink this. I know the blue ones last about 15 minutes.
Cheers, Barry

Cheaper by the year....
Hi Barry
My first PA tent was tan and lasted about 3 years...... the silver tents use to last two full seasons....... now it seems that the silver application flakes off before the season bearly ends...... what you have left is a rag type weave that will absorb water.... freezes and then becomes brittle. Even on firewood piles I could count on 2 to 3 years use... n ow one summer and they are rags. The blue or green ones are even worst.... I covered furniture on the pickup.... halfway down from Toronto it started to fray and came apart. The heavier 14 oz. poly tarps of the quality Winter garage are heavy as hell but they seem to last a lot longer...... some trailer storage outfit near my place have had some for 3 to 4 years ands still look new.
