    Mitch Newton Thanks I agree with you about tarps. Pool liner seems like it might be a little hard to come by. What ever was more heavy is really what I am
    looking for.

    Yes the higher the number the thicker it is. EPDM for roofing comes in .045, and .060...which .0625 would be 1/16th of an inch thick. Just think of it as a very thick and very tough tarp that will last darn near forever. If you are interested just shoot me a private message, or let me know, I can send you one...

    Thanks for the info and possible solution. I have not measured but know I need a fair amount. Is it a roll or cut strips?
    Also kind of embarrassed to admit I don't know how to send a private message or post links . Someday when I grow up or get more time.
    Really would like to learn how to do both and become more helpful and share more in this forum.

    Hey joeinO. I am on my cell phone. For private conversation I go to the top where I can see my name. Tap on your name. They select conversation. That will give you a gold box on the left side that says "start a conversation" select that. And you should be able to figure it out from there.

    You can also tap a person's name, and tap "start a conversation".

    Thanks for reminding me. A little disinformation in one of my previous posts. A 10’x100’ roll of .045” costs about $400 wholesale. The .060 I never asked. It was like pulling teeth getting the first number without a contractors license.
    I’ll edit my post if possible at this late date.

    Nope, too late for editing. damm don’t they know who they’re dealing with here?

    No, it's roofing. I think it had rocks on it or something.

    Yes, know as ballast roof system...they use stones to hold the rubber membrane down, also helps keep the sun off the rubber, so it lasts longer.
    Here's a pic...this is what it looks like on top of many commercial buildings. The EPDM I have came off an Elder Beerman store...
