Four-Season Care: Cleaning, Storage, Rodent-Proofing
A high-quality leno mesh tarpaulin is a long-term investment for any farm or garden — but its lifespan depends not just on material strength, but on proper seasonal care. Through smart maintenance habits, you can extend your tarp’s service life by years while ensuring it performs reliably across every season.

Step 1: Cleaning — More Than Just Looks
Dirt, algae, and plant residues can weaken fibers and reduce breathability. A study on agricultural material durability showed that regular cleaning can extend fabric life by up to 40%. We recommend gentle brushing with mild soap and water, then air-drying thoroughly before storage. Avoid harsh chemicals — they may damage UV coatings and material integrity.
Step 2: Storage — Keep It Safe Between Seasons
Fold or roll your tarpaulin neatly and store in a dry, shaded place. Damp storage leads to mold and material degradation — in fact, improper storage accounts for nearly 30% of early tarp failures reported in customer surveys. Consider using a breathable storage bag to keep dust and pests out.
Step 3: Rodent-Proofing — A Small Step, Big Protection
Rodents can cause surprising damage during off-season storage. Farm case studies show that rodent-related damage to stored tarps and nets leads to an average replacement cost increase of 15–20% annually. Simple measures like elevating stored items, using natural repellents like peppermint oil, or placing tarps in sealed containers can prevent costly surprises.
