Installation Instructions

Make sure that the roof surface where the adhesive will be attached does not have any loose roofing material or debris that will cause the SMART-TARPTM to move or not attach to the fixed surface.

    • Do not place the SMART-TARPTM over any large holes where water can gather on top and weigh the tarp down and cause it to sag.
    • The SMART-TARPTM can be attached to a wet/damp roof surface but in order to qualify for the warranty the SMART-TARPTM must be applied to a dry surface. Getting on a wet roof is extremely dangerous. Slipping and falling can cause bodily harm or death.
    • Do not stand on or depend on the SMART-TARPTM for your stability.
    • The adhesive is extremely strong and pressure sensitive. Once the release liner is removed, you must be very careful that the adhesive does not touch any unintentional object, including the adhesive itself.
    • The adhesive can be removed without damaging the integrity of the roof by spraying WD-40® where the adhesive is attached. We suggest rinsing the WD-40® off all surfaces immediately to reduce any staining or affecting the roofing material. Please follow WD-40® warnings and instructions.
    • When attaching the SMART-TARPTM to a roof, attach in way that the tarp is tight like a drum and with as little slack as possible to achieve the greatest wind resistance.

    * Review Warranty before installation

    Step1: Once you have determined the damaged or faulty area of your roof you will want to unfold your SMART-TARPTM and place the SMART-TARPTM over the desired location so that at least two feet of the bottom edge of the SMART-TARPTM is covering beyond the bottom outer edge of the damaged or faulty area.

    Step 2: Once you are confident the SMART-TARPTM is in the correct position you are ready to attach your first corner. Fold back a top corner and remove both release liners to expose approximately 4-6 inches of adhesive so you can press from the top side of the SMART-TARPTM adhering the corner to the roof.

    Step 3: Now that the corner is firmly attached to the roof you will want to have one hand holding the partially removed release liner that is along the top perimeter. As you being to remove the release liner, use your other hand to firmly press down from the top side of the SMART-TARPTM adhering the exposed adhesive to the roof. Make sure you are contouring the tarp as you work your way across from either left to right or right to left to the other corner while removing the release liner until you are 4-6 inches from the opposite corner from which you started. Once this step is complete you will have the top perimeter of the SMART-TARPTM attached except 4-6 inches from the corner where you stopped.

    Step 4: Repeat the same process as steps two and three at each corner and side. All four corners and sides of the SMART-TARPTM are now completely attached and contoured to the roof.

    Step 5: Take your thumb or palm and press down around the entire perimeter one more time making sure that there are no gaps where wind or water can enter under the SMART-TARPTM.
