The reason baseball tarps are used

As with many things used outdoors, the lifetime and usefulness of a baseball tarp will depend on the material it is made out of. Polyethylene tarps are the best because this material resists water very well. The structure of a polyethylene tarp is made out of strips of the plastic material woven loosely to create a surface similar to fabric, but one that can be stretched in all directions without losing its form. If you are about to buy a polyethylene tarp, ask if it has been treated to resist ultraviolet light, a very important feature that will keep your tarp alive for much longer. This is because sunlight can damage a tarp quickly without it.

There are many tarp models to select from. Consider the needs of your own fields to decide if you wish to purchase a complete infield tarp (covers the whole play area), the skin tarp (for the outer part of the diamond) or pitcher’s mound and home plate tarps.
