A tarp isn't always used for protection, and these privacy fence tarps are specifically designed for privacy. These privacy tarps are similar to mesh tarps, as both are made from polypropylene and provide a combination of shade and UV protection. A privacy fence tarp, on the other hand, is a stronger version of mesh tarps. These tarps are made from heavy duty polypropylene and offer 80-percent shade. While these tarps could be used in any manner similar to mesh tarps, they are specifically used as fence tarps for construction, residential, and commercial privacy. Each tarp has an opaque appearance and can block out light and shield small particles from coming through a fence.
