Painting the living room, sanding a floor, and renovating a damp room: what often worries people is not the renovation itself, but the collateral damage. A bucket tipping over, a splash on the sofa, dust ground into the floorboards, and the bill climbs quickly.
In the aisles of Action, a simple Werckmann protective tarp measuring 3 by 4 meters slips among the essentials for small-budget projects. This waterproof polyethylene tarp, touted as good quality and equipped with metal fixing grommets, covers 12 m² of surface for your indoor and outdoor projects. During the “Action Week” from July 15 to 21, 2026, its price drops to 4.99 €, enough to rethink how you protect a worksite.
Werckmann Protective Tarp at Action: Price, Dimensions, and a Great Deal
This Werckmann tarp at Action is offered at 6.49 €. A modest sum to protect your floors, furniture, paints, and outdoor equipment during your renovations.
Specifically, you obtain a blue polyethylene (PE) tarp, waterproof and reusable. It is designed for indoor and outdoor use, with metal fixing grommets around the edge. The specification sheet notes that the surface is not non-slip and that there is no adhesive edge, which guides how to use it.
How this Action tarp changes life on a job site
Before repainting a ceiling or sanding a wall, simply unfold the tarp on the floor, letting it rise slightly onto the baseboards, and secure it with masking tape. The waterproofing limits paint or water infiltration, and splashes settle on the plastic rather than on the floorboards or tiles. Once the job is finished, you fold it up, discard it, or keep it, and the cleaning is reduced to a few sweeping strokes with a broom.
It also proves handy for protecting furniture and boxes during a renovation or a move: covering a sofa, a sideboard, or a corner of a room helps prevent sanding dust and splashes. The same tarp serves as a debris or cut zone: spread on a patio or driveway, it catches plaster debris, sawdust, or tile fragments, which you then gather by simply lifting the four corners.

Werckmann Tarp: Method and Precautions to Know
The metal fixing grommets make a real difference for pulling the tarp tight without tearing it. You can thread a rope, tensioners, or cable ties through them to fix it around a piece of furniture, between two walls, or on an exterior structure, such as a fence or stakes. This tension helps prevent rainwater pockets outdoors and stops the tarp from fluttering or blowing away at the slightest breeze.
A few limits remain to keep in mind: the surface is not non-slip, it’s better to avoid walking on it with slippery shoes, especially on tile or stairs. The tarp also does not come with an adhesive edge or any fixation system included. So plan for an accessory kit to fully take advantage: masking tape for baseboards, string or straps for the grommets, clamps to pin down a section of tarp. After use, let it dry, then fold it again to reuse on a future project.
