I replaced an old, threadbare tarp with this new brown/black model. (I use it to cover my electric cargo bike, which must be kept outside because it's too big to fit into my building's bike storage). The tarp is very thick and stiff so it's waterproof and won't get blown around. I would have preferred green to camouflage better with the fence, but the tarp is very functional. I'll report back in a year or two about its durability.
