What is the expected lifespan of a UV-treated poly tarp under direct desert sunlight?
A UV-treated poly tarp exposed continuously to direct desert sunlight typically lasts between 1 and 5 years, depending on fabric weight, UV stabilizer concentration, color, and installation conditions. Lightweight 5–8 mil tarps often show structural decline within 12–24 months, while heavy-duty 12–16 mil UV-treated polyethylene tarps with reinforced scrim can remain functional for 3–5 years under year-round exposure in desert climates such as Arizona or Nevada.Direct sun exposure in desert regioPosted : 17.06.2026 | 0 views
