| Keep pests away from your precious plants |
you have a green thumb, consider bringing a tarp along the next time you work in the yard. Whether you are raking leaves, pulling weeds or pruning trees, a tarp makes a great place to put all your lawn and garden waste before you actually dispose of it. And when you're finished working in the garden, all you have to do is gather the corners of the tarp up and haul it away to the designated disposal area, which makes cleanup a snap.
Tarps are also great for protecting plants that may need a little extra insulation during colder months. Simply wrap a tarp around said plants and anchor it when the weather starts to cool down to give them the protection they need overnight.

| Keep your firewood protected rain or shine |
If you enjoy sitting in front of a roaring fire and have a valuable stash of firewood, consider a tarp to protect your firewood from the elements. After all, nothing is worse than discovering all of your wood is wet and useless. Instead, if you cover it with a tarp, your firewood will be dry and ready each time you're ready to use your fireplace.
If you enjoy sitting in the backyard, looking over your yard and feeling proud of all you have accomplished in your own little corner of the world, but find it is too hot to sit in the bright sun in the summer, consider a tarp as sun shade. Tarps make for an incredibly cheap alternative to expensive awnings and provide just as much shade. Plus, tarps couldn't be easier to install and rearrange as the sun moves.
No matter how you decide to use it, an investment in a backyard tarp will pay great dividends.
