Large Tarps
In recent years there has become an increasing demand for poly tarps in larger sizes. Tarp covers are no longer being used as just simple canopy covers, but instead are being used in construction, athletics, commercial and government applications. The tarpaulin industry has experienced dramatic growth as the demand for product is reaching wider audiences. In response, CanopiesAndTarps.com has increased their inventory as well as added several new colors to their product line, including Clear Tarps, Tan Tarps and Blue Mesh Tarps. New growth is always expected however, in recent years the demand for larger size tarps has increased as consumers look for cost effective solutions to help protect property and valuables.
Poly Tarps provide the same dependable coverage as specialized products but for much less of a cost. Primary uses for large tarps include roof coverage, slope erosion control, athletic field covers and equipment protection. Large tarpaulin covers are available in both heavy-duty and regular duty varieties. The difference in quality is attributed to the tarps thickness and grommet spacing. Large, heavy-duty tarps are generally 12 Mil. in thickness and contain grommets every 18 inches. The heavy-duty tarp is designed for applications that require longer coverage where as the large, regular duty tarp is considered a multi-purpose cover for short-term projects. The regular duty tarp is 4-6 Mil in thickness and features grommet spacing every 36 inches. Both large tarp varieties are made with high-grade polyethylene fibers, which are heat laminated and retrofitted with, rust resistant aluminum grommets.
Polyethylene is the ideal fabric for outdoor applications due to its natural resistance to mildew and rot. Moreover, every poly tarp is fully waterproof and is UV treated inside and out with added fade blockers anti-aging, anti-yellowing and anti-microbial agents. The result is a cover that has the ability to stand up to the elements and provide substantial protection year after year.
Although there are many different sizes of poly tarps available, large tarps are beneficial because they complete the job with the use of one single cover. There is no need to purchase several smaller tarps, as has been the case in previous years. Large tarp covers are available in Blue, Green, Silver and White colors. Large tarps can be purchased starting at size 40’ x 60’ and are even available as large as 170’ x 170’. Each large tarp is packaged and shipped on a pallet through LTL trucking and has an expected delivery time of 4-5 business days depending on the destination.
