Our mesh tarps are tough and give 73 percent shade while allowing 27 percent light penetration. Made of durable polypropylene, these tarps offer full protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. The breathable material is acid resistant, rot resistant, tear resistant and mildew resistant and retains its flexibility even in arctic conditions. Black mesh tarps, the darkest of all mesh tarps, are an excellent choice for use as privacy screens for commercial and residential properties, for barrier and protection from prying eyes. They are also ideal truck bed cover and other applications which require a lightweight tarp for protection from the wind and sun.
