That $50 'lifetime' tarp lasted exactly 9 months in the sun

I bought this heavy duty tarp from a hardware chain in Phoenix thinking it'd hold up on my shed roof for years. It started cracking and flaking after 3 months, then full on ripped during a monsoon in July. Total waste of cash and I had to replace the stuff underneath that got wet. Their 'lifetime guarantee' means nothing when the product fails that fast. Anyone found a tarp brand that actually survives direct sun through an Arizona summer?

Canopy brand tarps have held up way better for me. I've got one on my gravel truck that's been through two summers and it's still going. The silver/brown ones from Harbor Freight are decent too but you gotta pay for the thicker mil version.

Wait, two whole summers on a gravel truck? No way that's real.
