Polyethylene (PE) tarps are generally not a material designed to withstand severe cold temperatures. PE tarpaulin is mainly used for general purposes such as sunshade, rain protection, temporary covering, etc. Its main features are lightweight, waterproof and economical. However, they are not very resistant to freezing temperatures.

In extreme cold conditions, PE tarps may be affected as low temperatures may cause them to become brittle and brittle. In addition, PE tarpaulins generally do not have thermal insulation properties and cannot provide sufficient thermal insulation effects to effectively protect items or areas that need to be kept warm in severe cold weather.

If you need to use a tarp in severe cold conditions, you may want to consider a material designed specifically for cold environments, such as a military tent or an all-season tent. These tents are typically made from more cold-resistant materials, have better insulation properties, and offer better protection in freezing conditions.
