By: CanopiesAndTarps.com The word tarp is derived from its full name, the tarpaulin and is defined by most dictionaries as a material used to cover and protect objects from moisture such as waterproof canvas. This definition can be a little misleading because not all tarps are made of canvas materials. Aside from canvas there are several other fabrics that comprise the tarpaulin including vinyl, nylon and polyester. However, the most common and most popular fabric used in tarp manufacturing today is polyethylene. Polyethylene tarps are also referred to as poly tarps and are the most widely used cover for outdoor protection today. Poly tarps can be found on just about every outdoor canopy structure sold in retail stores and is ideal for several reasons. During the manufacturing process, thousands of threads are cross weaved before the lamination and grommet process. These poly fibers are naturally resistant to rot, mildew and mold. Stacked in three layers, the poly tarp is then laminated with a waterproof and UV resistant laminate, which produces an end product that is not only lightweight but also durable and cost effective. The grommets are set every eighteen inches and reinforced with rope edges that are hemmed. This lightweight, durable tarp product is great for all types of uses at home and is a key essential for travel and road trips. Some of the most common uses for poly tarps in a residential setting include roof protection, gardening, patio shade, car protection, ground cover and can even be used as a drop cloth for painting and other household repairs. The poly tarp is also the perfect travel companion and works great as ground bedding for camping tents. With so many available sizes and colors, there is a poly tarp for any and all applications whether it be for residential or commercial use. # # # Mroberts is a freelancer writer for the outdoor industry and represents products such as tarps, canopies, portable garages and party tents.
