A tarp, short for tarpaulin, is a large, flexible, waterproof sheet often made of plastic or canvas, used for protection against the elements. A drop cloth, typically made of canvas, paper, or plastic, is primarily used to protect floors and furniture from paint spills and debris during painting or construction projects. While both serve protective purposes, tarps are more durable and versatile for outdoor use, whereas drop cloths are generally used indoors for temporary protection.
