If you're frustrated by torn or loose tarps, poly plastic sheets or drop cloths, this video may give you answers.

It’s a Real Cinch

Time-saving Life Extending Tool for Tarps.

Tarps and other sheet products protect property.  Or they let you gather yard waste, household debris for example, also then covering the load  to hopefully prevent littering on the way  to the dump.  You already know of thousands of similar uses at home or on the job.   Your project starts off well!

The trouble can start soon after.
A corner tie-down grommet may rip out. Or wind puffs-up the tarp that was too big; it comes loose, starts flapping, then splits open, endangering  your property or project.  You may have need to combine two tarps you already own for a larger covering job.

It’s a Real Cinch (IRC) is a revolutionary new system offering helpful new choices you will like. The video demonstrates convenience, simplcity, speed and a common sense approach.  You are watching IRC being applied to solve just three real life use cases out of the thousands where it works just as well.    Too good to believe?  Try it out at your local hardware or DIY project store.

"Contract landscape’s been my work. I wish my crews could have had this Cinch thing twenty years ago. Leaf cleanup used to mean big, heavy tarps corner tied into "rabbit ears" knots that got so tight they would not come loose when dragged to the truck. Your Real Cinch is really better. Two things together make it special. First, the Cinch closes the tarp right and doesn’t rip. AND it releases faster and easier than tight rabbit ear knots ever did. I’m sold. "

"I tried this product three ways – on a ripped tarp, a tarp with missing eyelets and a sheet of clear plastic. It worked well in each case. Both cable and block seem to be made of strong materials. I changed the connection point for tie downs to my tarps in seconds. I am always covering wood and machinery at my camp. This product will save me time and hold a tarp better in strong winds. I give it 5 stars!"

"I mostly use tarps for yardwork and to cover things I’m moving with my pick-up. Your Cinch is super easy to use. My tarps are lasting longer, but more important, It’s a Real Cinch makes it easier to adapt my tarp and connector straps to fit what I’m doing each time, and the uses vary every time."

Discover It's a Real Cinch

You will be able to solve your tarp tie-down frustrations with It’s a Real Cinch® products. We’re sure of that. Two examples:

Today, you’re gathering cut grass, weeds and brush from tree trimming.  Spillage to clean up a second time would be a problem.  And just as much, at the curb you want the tarp to open up without fighting an impossibly tight knot, caused by dragging the heavy load behind your mower.   IRC handles both issues, every time.

It’s a different problem tomorrow.  Drywall for a project arrived on time but the friends who promised to help tote it inside did not.  Dark clouds were a warning, but already,  heavy thick raindrops have started to splatter on your exposed sheetrock.

With just enough sheet plastic to cover the pile, you must quickly attach solid tie-down points able to hold tight in the wind without making holes in the plastic.  You need IRC.

It’s a Real Cinch is an affordable, quality answer for the times when speed, reliability and quality matter.  Try it and see.

Discover why It's a Real Cinch Deserves its Patent!

Patents represent new solutions for real problems.  It’s a Real Cinch was granted the patent for components acting together as a system  that improves the way tarps and other sheet products can be held in place following a designed method.   

One improvement is being able to quickly create a stable tie down point anywhere on the tarp surface without creating an opening in the fabric.  IRC acts as a go-between connector, safely accepting hooks of the typical bungee or ratchet straps. 

A second benefit is being able to attach securely over two or more overlapping layers of a tarp, or thicker sheet products like furniture pads.
