(canvas) tarpaulin Explanation: tarp is short for tarpaulin -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2009-02-19 17:10:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A tarpaulin or tarp is a large sheet of strong, flexible, water resistant or waterproof material, often cloth such as canvas or polyester coated with plastics such as latex or PVC. In some places such as Australia, and in military slang, a tarp may be known as a hootchie. Tarps often have reinforced grommets at the corners and along the sides to form attachment points for rope, allowing them to be tied down or suspended. Inexpensive modern tarps are made from woven polyethylene; this material is so associated with tarps that it has become known as polytarp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpaulin -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-02-19 18:20:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- When this answer was posted, the question was open. “Answer found elsewhere”. It’s not easy to imagine what an asker could do to top such impudence. |
