Outside, split and covered on top is ideal.

Fair dues.
Where would you buy a good strong tarp? - heavy duty, not the flimsy crap from most garden centres/aldi that'll shredd after the 1st week of wind.
Ideally something with plenty of eyes and draw-string to keep it tied down snug.

Based in the west,

What size tarp are u after? I got mine in a supermarket believe it or not, buts its actually one of those huge advertising banners that they hang up! Eyelets and all on it!

Yea that's the job somethin with a bit of weight.

Would need prob 3m x 3m or 4m x 4m if no eyelets so I could weigh it down either side on the ground..

Saw a lad in the next village with one of those draped across the front of his turf shed (bit of ground clearance for airing) - looked a mighty job!

Never occurred to me a scrapyard might have one, I'll check them out
