Yep, that's them.

Sun isn't bad, you can actually see the moisture baking out of the wood, as the season progresses (I top cover, always, once it's stacked).

Some will snag & get a tear, then I just use them for covering the uglies, the kindling, etc, until they die.
Do you use clear or beige kind?

I use shower "liners" too. Clear for me. They do come in different thicknesses. They work pretty well for me. My wife changes them out a few times a year so i get them "Used".

Your tarps will last much longer if it is not touching the wood. I get them last without any tears. The end of life is when they get UV damage and feel thin. Build peaked roof frames.
