How thick should a slip and slide tarp be?
Last year I bought a 100 ft tarp at Home Depot for a slip and slide. It worked great but we threw it away after the summer was over. I want to do it again but can not remember how thick of a tarp I got. I feel like it was 4 mils (not to be confused with mLs) but I am not sure. The reason it matters is that the thicker your go, the more expensive the tarps get. Im trying to save as much as possible while still getting a tarp that won’t rip. Anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions?
the 6 mil will b better….or thicker……
** btw the prices of tarps have gone up almost 50 prct since last year……..so u may have gotten the 6 mil last year for what the 4 mil is selling for this year….
