I got one of these. Thought I would risk it. I actually got it to cover one of my garden tractors.

My initial impression is that the fabric is very lightweight. Like a tent. It is at least water resistant. I took the bag and it held a puddle of water.

How will it hold up outside is what I will need to find out. If it does okay I may get more for other tractors. The black is better than blue tarps and it fits around better.

I think if you keep you bike in the garage and want a dust cover this is a good deal. Not sure how it will hold up out in the elements yet.

$0.10? That's awesome!

.010c and $25 shipping?? 8O

My GIO covers came and the fabric was almost see through, don't think they'll do much rain stopping. From the pics, it looks like it's somewhat like vinyl and water proof.. can't go wrong for the price though!

Shipping only $12 to the US. At $25 I wouldn't buy.

I have 2 tarps. 48 x 10.... feet. It is an exceedingly difficult one man lift.
Material is far beyond any retail stuff you can buy. Came off 2 rack and tarps.

I've also ordered 2 different size GIO tarps. Was thinking of cutting them apart at the seams and using them as a pattern for my other tarp material.

I have some real concerns about a non commercial grade sewing machine being able to handle it though. I know someone who does have a machine that will work, but paying money sort of defeats the purpose.

I am not sure how long this material will live outside in the elements. Probably last a season.

My Dad uses the wrap from the building center that the lumber comes wrapped with.
