I greatly appreciate the advice! Found a lot of conflicting info, so if anyone has experience, I'm all ears.

Look at there reviews they are horrible I would look at other options. Many people up here are using reinforced poly.

I used to use Duratarp Silver Sunblockers but have more recently gone with panda. I use the 40x100' rolls. It can tear, but the lighter weight is easier for me to deal with.

thanks fisher, I was reading some of your posts from awhile back. is one layer of the panda film sufficient? at least until it rips anyway... any supplier recs?

Doesn't panda get brittle when exposed to sunlight?

Not in my experience

KDT- one layer is fine, 100% black out with the 5 mil. I just ordered a bunch of rolls through my shop.

For small 'stars' in the panda I superglue on a square of duct tape.

im with fisher, Panda and a roll of good tape ftw, unless you can afford the breathable tarps, but they are somewhat pricey and a bit unwieldy, compared to the panda

Been using Bulldog Tarps they are heavy duty and won't rip, thats the only problem though they are a bit on the heavy side. Def. a two person job trying to cover the G.H. unless you have some kind of poly system
