Subject:What's a good brand of tarp?

Hi Volks:

A fellow listee (Mr. Joel Walker) and I were just emailing, and he mentioned
to me to stay away from "el-cheapo" tarps (this was in the context of making
an awning - which is what's being most talked about lately)

So, is there such a thing as a good quality, inexpensive tarp?

I'd like to get one for no more than 2 X the price of an el cheapo. More
than that, and my North-end Winnipeg roots will start to tingle
uncomfortably.

All the ones I see seem to be made of this coated woven plastic material - a
step up from handi-wrap - but not a big one. Usually made in China or Korea,
and usually with a store brand label.
