    If you can pick it up in person, great.
    If not, be sure to verify the shipping charges before ordering.
    They told me it would be $10 to ship my 15 yards of sil.
    Turned out to be about $21.
    I was not happy with the additional cost.

    You need to make sure tell them it's OK to fold the material up...plus there is a "cutting fee" I believe.

    It still came out to just about $4 a yard for me. I've bought about 30 yards from them so far (and have only used like 3 LOL)

    If I may, we have our own vendor of tarp materials right here on HF, His name is Scott (aka. sclittlefield). He used to produce amazing tarps before he just started selling tarp makeing materials. He is a class act, very reliable and helpful.
