Overview

A fence tarp is a sheet fixed over temporary fencing, turning an open panel line into a solid screen.

Privacy on sites and at venues, a wind barrier at events, dust and debris control inside a boundary, and a surface for sponsor and brand display.

The catch is wind. A solid tarp turns the fence into a sail and adds load the fence on its own was never carrying, so the line needs stays and weights. On a very windy site a mesh tarp that lets air through is the better answer.

Fix it at every grommet with zip ties or bungees. Skipping grommets puts all the load on the ones that are fixed and tears them out.
