1. What is the difference between BOLD® and other light deprivation tarps like Panda?
BOLD® is scrim reinforced and 8 mils thick. It is a heavy duty, but light-weight material that will last much longer than other light deprivation tarps on the market because of the scrim. Polyester fibers are sandwiched between the black and white layers to add tear resistance.
2. Does it really block light completely?
YES! The carbon black side completely blocks light, while the white side will reflect it. So install your tarp white side up to reflect the sun. Not all plastic sheeting is created equal. Some may not be manufactured with enough black resin to block light efficiently, while others may have pinholes or perforation which will allow light to seep through.
3. How long does it last?
BOLD® black out light deprivation tarps contain UV inhibitors that extend it’s lifespan. You can expect 12 to 24 months in exposed conditions. With care people have seen 3 and 4 years use.
4. What sizes are available?
Stock sizes: 20’ x 100’, 26.5’ x 100’. 33’ x 100’, 33’ x 50’, 40’ x 100’, 40’ x 50’
Custom sizes also available up to 330’ wide.
