You don’t need to seam-seal your tarp for general use, but we recommend it if you expect heavy or sustained rain. The tarp is made from high-quality silicone-coated fabric, which is extremely waterproof. However, the seams - like with all silicone tarps - can still allow some water through.
That’s why we include a seam sealing kit. Applying it is a one-time process: just stretch out the tarp, apply the sealer along the seams, and let it dry for at least 24 hours. It's a bit of work, but it ensures your tarp is 100% waterproof.
Our manufacturing partners don’t pre-seal the seams because the process is time-consuming and requires a lot of space, sealing it yourself gives you maximum protection when conditions get rough.
