Does this material rip easily?

If you just lay it out, it's great. I poked some holes in it to attach to a VegTrug frame I had, and the wind did tear it a bit in those areas--my fault. But overall it lasted the season very well. I do recommend it. Hope this helps.

No. It is really a good quality. We have some really strong winds in the high desert and it holds up really well.

I have been quite impressed so far. Less tearing (none so far) than all my previous floating row covers. Pleased with purchase. BTW, I have started tying string around a bit of material and then creating loop in string to stake down - no more holes / potential tears in material and it is super easy to undo and redo. cheers

No not at all. I haven't tried to rip it, however after pulling it on and off some cactus its still fine.

It can. It is very lightweight. I would say it rips easier than nylon netting.

No.It does not rip easily.Good material that work really well.It rips easier than nylon netting because its not nylon,duh.It can be used more than one year also.

This is a great product. It lasts more than one year and does not rip easily. I use pvc pipe to make a tunnel to put mine on and secure it with large stones but I like the stake down method below.ill probably try that this year. It keeps birds, rabbits out too.

yes you can if you're not careful but it holds up pretty well so far I've got it held down with the cement blocks and we're doing good and I'm get high winds every afternoon

No the bag doesn"t rip. The opening is not smaller than the bag until you put the ring in to hold the bag.

My dogs have been scratching at it and it hasn't hurt the mmaterial at all. I have been using it daily since I received it and haven't had any problems the material is very sturdy. .I have a 4 & 11 year old that have been climbing in and out it as well playing and still no problems.

No and the material is very flimsy. It ripped the first couple of weeks of school. I do not recommend this for anyone who carries anything with weight. Might be great for just clothes, but not books and stuff.

I keep my cat's claws trimmed so he probably wouldn't be able to rip it but even if your cat has sharp claws I still don't think it's easily ripped. The material is sturdy and spaced out enough so that a claw could catch in it without tearing. A cat would really have to focus some energy to claw through this.

It's easy tear, it's like butcher paper. It's not good for bugger kids that are really active becase they rip it, but I bought it and use it for Babis or backdrop only, and it works good for the price. Really good for cake smash too

If there were any seams, I cut them off to make the cover fit my kidney shaped pool. I don't see any indication that the cover can easily rip. Except for the problem of delaminating, the cover is durable, helps keep the pool clean, and greatly reduces evaporation.

Yes, it can, and mine has not ripped like the other customer has stated. Still in good condition a year later.

Yes, they rip very easily. We have used these for multiple raffles and everyone loves them -the ticket sellers and buyers!

I have yet to see any tears on mine which I have owned for a few months. I'm not sure about the rubber degrading more than any other type of mat. All rubber will wear over time

It's not that thin stuff that tears right away. It's a heavier-duty plastic. It's pretty sturdy. I'm sorry I don't know how to measure the thickness. I've had it on the bed for months now and it's still as good as when I first got it.

Not really. It's thin. It will slide then probably tear. I wouldn't suggest it.

It won't rip. I've got 14 and a 16 pound tom cats with razor sharp claws (I need to clip them more often!) No problem for years! After about 3 years in the sun and rain the color starts to fade and then you can rip it with your hands and it needs replacing. But until then it just won't rip unless you use good scissors.

It's pretty sturdy. I've used it for kids art projects including tracing their bodies and we have had no issues with tearing.

No. The pieces are made of cardboard and be careful when torn apart, it rips easily.

I have been using it for couple of weeks and not able to comment on durability. But, as of now it seems good material and does not get scratch easily.
