: Hey Rehd,
: My tarps are just starting to leak a little after 3 months. Nothing major and
: its only where the water manages to sit. UV starting to damage it (We have
: strong UV levels here). Halfway through the yak so will probably throw on
: a couple of more tarps if it starts to get worse

: Cheers

3 Months??? Holy Cow.. Mine have lasted at least two seasons here...

Hmmmmmmmm!! Well, maybe it's because up here the sun just hits and runs off and it all collects down there..??? Best I can figure...

How come you are only half way..?? Better get with it before it gets warm down there... Might get a bit toasty in your "shop."

Hope the extra tarps help.... Are they leaking right through the material..?? Did you get any sweating through from the cold outside and warm inside..??

Would have been nice to get some of that HS nylon to make the top, ( good UV protection I hear ), but it's a bit pricey for that I would suspect. I priced it for my Hoop-House and it would have been in excess of $500.00! :-p
