Tarpaulin

A tarpaulin is a piece of strong, bendable and waterproof material. It is often made of a few types of plastics. They also often have fasteners to allow for ropes to be attached.

Cheaper modern tarpaulins are made from polyethylene; this material is so associated with tarpaulins that it has become colloquially known in some quarters as polytarp.

It is used to cover crime scenes,[1] as a building material[2] and to protect from weather such as rain.[3]
