What is the difference between a finished size and cut size?
a. Finished size refers to the size of the item after manufacturing is complete. Cut size refers to the size of the material that will be used to make the item. For example, our tarps are listed as cut sizes, so a 10’x12’ tarp refers to the size of the material. The finish size of a 10’x12’ tarp is 9’6″x11’6″ due to the hem along the edge of the tarp. When you place an order for a tarp, make sure you specify what you would like the finish size of your tarp to be.
