3′ x 3′ Small Tarp (Mini Tarp)

Compact waterproof protection for car trunks, muddy gear, gardening, tools and everyday messes. Our smallest tarp size is easy to stash in your vehicle, garage, toolbox, or outdoor gear so it is ready when you need it.

  • Built to last. Tough, lightweight, and fully waterproof, with reinforced rust-free grommets made for repeated use.
  • Better materials. Made without PFAS or PVC, so you can skip the nasty toxic stuff found in many traditional tarps.
  • Designed for less waste. Made to last longer and returnable through Renegade’s tarp recycling program when its job is finally done.

Small tarp. Big overachiever.

Not every job needs a giant tarp.

At 3′ × 3′, the Renegade Mini Tarp gives you compact waterproof protection for the little jobs that still get messy. Keep one in your car, garage, garden kit, toolbox or outdoor gear and pull it out whenever you need a clean, dry barrier between your stuff and the ground.

Use it as a trunk liner for muddy shoes and wet gear, a small ground cloth for outdoor projects, a garden tarp for potting and planting, or a protective surface underneath tools and supplies. It also comes in handy as a stadium or event seat, pet crate liner, emergency camping tarp or just-in-case layer you will be glad you packed.

Built differently from the cheap stuff

The Mini Tarp is made from Renegade’s proprietary polypropylene-based fabrics. It’s lightweight, flexible, fully waterproof and designed to stand up to repeated use, UV exposure and everyday wear.

It is also made without intentionally added PFAS, PVC, BPA, lead or phthalates, giving you tough protection without the nasty stuff found in many traditional tarp materials. The result is a tarp built for a longer useful life, fewer replacements and less throwaway waste.

Reinforced grommets that won’t rust

Four reinforced, non-metal grommets give you secure attachment points at each corner. They are made using recycled Renegade material and designed with a wider footprint to help distribute force around the attachment point. Because there is no metal, there is also no rust or sharp edge rubbing against your vehicle, equipment or gear.

Designed with its next life in mind

We think a better tarp should still have a plan for what happens when you are finally done with it. When your Mini Tarp reaches the end of its useful life, send it back through Renegade’s tarp recycling program. Returned tarps can be recycled through facilities that accept the applicable polypropylene material, helping keep valuable plastic resources in circulation.

Also, when you register your Mini Tarp, Renegade will donate $1 to the World Wildlife Fund. Consider it a little extra love for Mother Nature.

    Great idea, great tarp. Put one in every car.

  2. Travis Vanden Huevel

    This is the best tarp I ever bought!

  3. Ashley Nalepka

    I keep the black 3′ x 3′ mini tarp in my car, and it folds up small enough that it’s easy to stash without taking up much room. It came in especially handy after a very rainy golf day when we had muddy shoes and wet jackets. I was able to use it to help keep the car cleaner and keep the mess contained. It’s one of those simple things I’m glad I had with me.

  4. Clyde Waltenbaugh

    I picked up three of these for my family’s vehicles and we used two of them the day they arrived for moving mulch and gravel for the garden. They are thick, sturdy and tough. Very happy I found this company! Thanks for making such a solid product! Easy purchase and fast delivery, too.

    Got one of these to use around the yard for multiple activities. Great for covering things in the PNW rain, we also use it for putting down soil and wood chips for yard work to contain the mess. Really durable and great product.

What can I use a 3' × 3' tarp for?

A 3' × 3' tarp is for small jobs where a full-size tarp would be overkill. Use it as a car trunk liner, garden tarp, small ground cloth, toolbox tarp, pet crate liner, stadium seat cover or protective surface for muddy gear, tools and supplies.

How many grommets does it have?

The 3' × 3' Mini Tarp has four reinforced, rust-free grommets, with one positioned near each corner. (See diagram in the product images)

Is the Mini Tarp waterproof?

Yes. Renegade tarps are fully waterproof. The coated polypropylene-based fabric blocks rain, snow and moisture to help keep your items dry without the need for water-repellent sprays. Unlike canvas tarps, which can absorb water and soak through during prolonged exposure, Renegade’s coated material does not absorb moisture.

Why does my tarp develop dark spots when it gets wet?

If the tarp’s surface coating becomes worn, moisture may temporarily darken the material. This is typically cosmetic and should not affect the tarp’s waterproof performance. Renegade tarps are made from mildew-resistant materials and are not treated with moisture-wicking chemicals. Allow the tarp to dry completely before folding or returning it to its storage bag.

How should I clean it?

Rinse the tarp with mild soap and water to remove dirt, sap or pollen. Use a soft cloth or other gentle cleaning tool, and avoid abrasive brushes or harsh detergents that could damage the coating. Let the tarp dry completely before folding or storing it.

Can the Mini Tarp be recycled?

The tarp is made from polypropylene-based materials and can be recycled through Renegade’s take-back program or facilities that accept the applicable polypropylene material. It should not be placed in curbside recycling unless your local program specifically confirms that it accepts the product.

What size tarp should I choose?

The 3' × 3' Mini Tarp is best for small jobs, vehicle storage and portable protection. For covering larger equipment, outdoor materials or work areas, explore our full range of tarp sizes.
