From the description, it could be uncoated (it is for vertical use). If not, it would probably not be suitable for most of the uses for a tarp. Good point. I can't tell. I'm going to try it out the hard way and find out!

The price tends to change daily on amazon. 8X6 http://www.amazon.com/100686-8-Foot-5-Millimeter-Brown-Reversible/dp/B000FH5UW6/ref=pd_sim_hi_34 And other sizes http://www.amazon.com/110142-10-foot-14-...p;keywords=Tarp

Treeseeker Member Registered: 03/29/12 Posts: 189 Loc: California	Conway, Can you confirm that the tarp is really 10'x10'. It seems it would be more likely that it is 10'x8'. The tent gazebos that it is made for are 10' wide but not 10' tall so there seems to be no reason to make the sidewall tarp 10' tall. Are there extra tie down loops at the 8' point, or otherwise how would they be fastened to the gazebo? The website picture shows it as a rectangle--not a square. But, I suppose some of it could be hanging down on the other side.

ILBob Old Hand Registered: 02/05/10 Posts: 776 Loc: Northern IL	One of the packages was open so I looked around inside the box. The corners have elastic bands with some kind of metal clip on them. I was tempted. _________________________ Warning - I am not an expert on anything having to do with this forum, but that won't stop me from saying what I think. Bob
