Assessed on the manufacturer's published specification and on how the format fits a working shift, by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor.
Written by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial, from the published TICONN listing. The score above is the live Amazon customer rating captured at review time - not a WC Safety test result. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The TICONN Heavy Duty Tarp Cover, Extra Thick Waterproof Tear and Rip Proof UV Resistant is one of our picks for the cargo-control lineup (covers and tarps β not rated securement). Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
A tarp is a cover, not a restraint. It carries no working load limit and contributes nothing to securing whatever sits underneath it β that job belongs to rated straps at the anchor points. What a tarp is rated on is material: weave density, coated thickness in mils, grommet spacing and hem reinforcement, all of which decide how long it survives wind flap, abrasion and UV before it starts tearing at the grommets.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- [PREMIUM QUALITY MATERIAL] Crafted with top-quality materials, the TICONN plastic tarp is built to last. We offer 5.5, 10, and 16 mil thick water proof, UV resistant polyethylene fabric large tarp with size like tarps heavy duty waterproof 20x30, tarps heavy duty waterproof 8x10 and so on.

- [REINFORCED CORNERS] The corners of the waterproof tarp are reinforced with double-stitched, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material. This innovative design ensures extra strength and resilience of the tarp waterproof, preventing premature wear and tear.
- [EASY TO USE] We've made sure that setting up the TICONN tarps heavy duty waterproof 16x20 is like a breeze. It comes with rust-resistant aluminum grommets placed along the edges, allowing for effortless and secure tie-downs. The grommets are spaced approximately 18 in apart.

Which tarp is this? The linked page is a multi-variant listing β TICONN sells this cover in several thicknesses (roughly 5.5, 10 and 16 mil) across several sizes. Mil thickness is the whole spec on a tarp, so pick the size and thickness on the listing itself; the figures quoted below may describe a different variant from the one you select.
What to check before you buy
Buy to the published rating, not the headline. Check the manufacturer's stated capacity, dimensions and materials against the job you actually do, and treat any listing that will not publish its numbers as a reason to keep looking.
- Weave density and mil thickness
- A tarp has no working load limit β it is a cover, not a restraint. What it does have is a weave count and a coated thickness in mils; heavier numbers survive wind flap and abrasion longer. Whatever holds the tarp down carries the load, so rate the strap, not the sheet.
- Grommet spacing and hem reinforcement
- Tarps tear at the grommet, not across the middle. Closer grommet spacing and a reinforced, rope-bound hem spread the load; a stamped grommet in an unreinforced hem is the first thing to pull out in wind.
- UV life and storage
- Poly tarps degrade under sunlight: the coating chalks, the weave goes brittle and edges fray. A tarp left staked through a season is a consumable. Dry it before folding β stored damp, it mildews and the coating separates.
- Securing the cover
- Tie-off tension is what keeps a tarp from becoming a sail. Use rated straps or rope at every grommet under load, avoid stretching the sheet drum-tight across a hard edge, and remember the tarp itself contributes nothing to securing the cargo underneath it.
