01How they are built

Commercial & industrial grade tarpaulins

A special process weaves high-tenacity polyethylene tapes into fabric, then laminates the material on both sides. The result is lightweight and exceedingly strong.

UV stabilisers on both the tapes and the lamination extend tarp life. Poly tarps are waterproof, rot-proof and dust-proof, with heat-sealed seams, aluminium or plastic eyelets at three-foot intervals, and strong rope reinforcement on all sides.

  • Economical and durable, custom sized to specific dimensions
  • Variety of colours and materials
  • Heavy-duty construction
  • Special grommeting and additional tie-down features
  • Refined, simple design and quick installation
