The tarp has a strip that runs parallel and abuts all edges of the tarp, the strip is between at-least one quarter of an inch and less that two and a half inches in width from each edge of the tarp and is at-least a sixteenth of an inch in height from the first face of the tarp. A covering overlaps the strip.

1 . A roof tarp comprising: 
 a square or rectangular shaped tarp having a first and a second face;    a strip that runs parallel and abuts all edges of the tarp, the strip is between at-least one quarter of an inch and less than two and a half inches in width from each edge of the tarp and is at-least a sixteenth of an inch in height from the first face of the tarp; and    a covering attached and covering the strip.    
   
   
       2 . The roof tarp of  claim 1 , wherein the strip is made of tar.  
   
   
       3 . The roof tarp of  claim 2 , wherein the covering is made of cellophane.  
   
   
       4 . The roof tarp of  claim 2 , wherein the covering is made of a paper backing material.  
   
   
       5 . The roof tarp of  claim 2 , wherein the covering is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.  
   
   
       6 . The roof tarp of  claim 2 , wherein the covering is made of a silicon based release liner.  
   
   
       7 . The roof tarp of  claim 2 , wherein the strip is two inches in width.  
   
   
       8 . The roof tarp of  claim 1 , wherein the strip is made of self-adhering membranes.  
   
   
       9 . The roof tarp of  claim 8 , wherein the covering is made of cellophane.  
   
   
       10 . The roof tarp of  claim 8 , wherein the covering is made of a paper backing material.  
   
   
       11 . The roof tarp of  claim 8 , wherein the covering is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.  
   
   
       12 . The roof tarp of  claim 8 , wherein the covering is made of a silicon based release liner.  
   
   
       13 . The roof tarp of  claim 8 , wherein the strip is two inches in width.  
   
   
       14 . A method of using the roof tarp of  claim 2 , comprising the steps of: 
 lifting the roof tarp on to a damaged roof;    placing the first face of the roof tarp over the damaged roof;    removing the covering from the strip; and    applying pressure to the second face of the tarp at a location immediately above the strip so that the strip adheres to the roof.
