Heritage Large Fowl - Phase II

If I take care of them, I can get three years out of them. I purchase them online for half of what I would spend locally. It would seam that the sun's intensity would be similar here, though we are not as hot or dry. 2-3 tarps a year is outrageous. I would not use them either. I wonder why I can get three years from one, and you would get one year with three. It is not UV. That is interesting.

217 days of sunlight for SC, 286 for tucson. Also the light has more energy in Tucson:



I have similar problems at my place--we are that orange area just up from the Delta in California.

Plastic water fountains do not last a summer here. It is likely worse in Arizona for sure.

I thought about the qty. of days without cloud cover. It is a desert, LOL. I lived there. I am familiar with Arizona. I could not explain it from three years to three times in a year. That is nine tarps to one. It is more than sunshine is what I am thinking. There is no difference in intensity, just qty. because of cloud cover (or lack of). The distance from the equator is similar. I was wondering if the dry air made a big difference. The humidity there is much lower.

Yes, all those things increase solar intensity.

I do think that buying a UV resistant tarp would help though. The ones you have may be of that type.

We bought billboard tarps, both used and new. Should have only bought used. They really last.

Ovation! I've run out of available ovations so I have to make my own. Why is all this cool stuff always south of the border?
