This is the second one of these I've purchased from here. We have this carport set up as an animal shelter. It gets heavy rain, strong winds, alit of movement and scorching hot summers! To me, with these conditions, they last! The last one I bought even endured a snow storm, which is heavy. The grommets is what finally gave out and only because of really strong winds and we were gone and one side came untied so it whipped in the wind pretty hard. Otherwise, it does not leak or drip. It does NOT get hot under there! Which in our 100 degree plus days, is a huge selling point for us! We have used different tarps in the past and they get hot underneath!
