I have been researching for a while now because I need to provide tarpaulins for my truck and outdoor yard at home. There are too many tarpaulin brands on the market, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, making people dazzled. Finally, recommended by a friend, I chose Hubei Jinlong and have been using it for several months. I have some real feelings that I want to share with everyone.

1Golden Dragon TarpaulinWhat is it from?

Let's talk about the background first. Hubei Jinlong New Materials Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in the domestic tarpaulin industry, with a market share of approximately 20%. In the field of emergency tarpaulins, it holds over 30% of the national market share. It is not only a national high-tech enterprise, but also a designated production enterprise for transportation reinforcement materials of China Railway Group and a permitted supplier of emergency rescue materials for the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

To put it simply, this brand is not a small workshop, it has a solid foundation.

2、 Which model did I buy? Where is it used?

I have purchased two models: one is a 420g/㎡ knife scraping cloth mesh cloth, mainly used for covering trucks and outdoor yards; Another type is ordinary PVC tarpaulin, used to cover some miscellaneous items at the doorstep.

The scenarios used include:

Long distance truck transportation, experiencing high-speed wind and rainstorm

Outdoor storage yard, exposed to sunlight and rain for two months

Cover daily clutter, occasionally pull and move

3、 How was the actual experience?

1. Solid materials and thick texture

The most intuitive feeling when I first received the Golden Dragon tarpaulin was its heaviness. The 420g model is noticeably thicker than most tarpaulins of the same size on the market. Pressing with your fingers, you can feel a layer of mesh like interlayer inside, which is called the "mesh structure", similar to the curtain fabric inside a tire, playing a reinforcing role.

Ordinary PVC tarpaulin feels like a layer of plastic skin, while the Jinlong model can feel the "muscles and bones" inside, with significantly different toughness.

2. The tear resistance is indeed strong

I have specifically tried this before. Make a small cut at the corner with scissors and then tear it off with force. The ordinary tarpaulin broke open as soon as it was torn, but the Golden Dragon's mesh cloth stopped when it was torn to a certain extent, and the crack did not spread. Later, I checked and found out that this is the function of the double-layer mesh structure - the polyester mesh inside holds the coating like steel bars and won't tear it off completely.

It was also verified while driving on the highway. The truck was traveling at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and the wind made the tarpaulin make a whistling sound. After running for hundreds of kilometers, the corners were not torn and the buttonholes were not deformed.

3. Reliable waterproof performance

I have encountered several rainstorm. The piece covered by the open-air yard, when opened after the rain, looks dry inside. I am quite satisfied with the fact that there is no water seepage at the corners and folds. Ordinary PVC tarpaulin is often prone to water seepage at the folding point during heavy rain, but this problem did not occur in the Golden Dragon area.

4. Wear resistant and sun resistant, with no significant changes for two months

I have been using it for two months, exposed to sunlight and rain, and the color has become slightly lighter, but there has been no brittleness, cracking, or peeling. Folding by hand, the flexibility is still very good, without any signs of hardening or brittleness.

I have used cheap tarpaulins before, but they start to harden after about a month and leave white marks when folded. The Golden Dragon piece is obviously much more durable.

5. Proper attention to detail and craftsmanship

A few details are worth mentioning: the edging is folded in four layers, with dense stitching, not the perfunctory process of folding two stitches in a single layer; Each buttonhole has a metal lining ring, which is heat sealed and fixed, not simply punched, and will not come out when pulled hard; The nylon thread used for sewing is quite sturdy when touched, without any loose ends.

4、 What are the types of Golden Dragon tarpaulins?

This study only discovered that there are actually many types of Golden Dragon tarpaulins, not "one piece of cloth dominates the world":

Knife scraping cloth and mesh cloth - the thickest type, with a double-layer mesh structure and the strongest tear resistance. Suitable for scenarios that require high-strength protection, such as truck transportation, open-air storage yards, and heavy coverings.

Ordinary PVC tarpaulin - cost-effective, waterproof and wear-resistant, suitable for general covering and temporary protection. If it's just for covering household items, this one is enough.

Organic silicone tarpaulin - resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, suitable for some special industrial scenarios.

Military camouflage tarpaulin - with good camouflage performance, mainly used for field operations or military purposes.

The 420g scraper cloth I use belongs to the thickest category. If it is a regular household cover, the regular PVC version is actually sufficient and the price is more affordable.

Ordinary family - if it's just for temporary use, just buy cheap ones; But if you want to buy a piece that can last for several years, Jinlong is a good choice.

If it's just for covering up miscellaneous items and temporary use for a few days, to be honest, buying the cheapest rainproof cloth is enough. But if you want a usable, durable, and chain proof tarpaulin, Jinlong is worth considering.
