I was a little nervous when I saw that my tarp came in a bag instead of a box. I was concerned about getting it open without cutting it.  However,  it was inside another bag which was tightly sealed around it providing a barrier between the tarp and the shipping packaging. Just as mentioned in the description it came with all the hardware to hang it. I didnt need all of the items included because of the way I am using it. The stitching is done very well, and seems very sturdy.  I an using mine above a dog kennel and it does block most of the light while allowing air movement.  It will be interesting to see how it holds up over the next few months. It works very well for my need and I think it is very nice quality.
