Tarps come in a wide range of styles and forms. If you’re looking to replace your existing tarp, then it is vital that you choose one that meets your every requirement. Polyethylene tarps are most commonly used for day-to-day applications, because they are both waterproof and UV resistant. Mesh tarps are used when sunlight and breathability are needed. Choosing the wrong tarp for your application will only put your items at risk, not to mention it would be a wasted investment. It has never been easier to choose the right tarp for your needs, and some companies even offer custom made tarps so you can always make sure you’re getting the material you need.
Medium and Heavy Duty Polyethylene Tarps
Polyethylene tarps come in both medium and heavy duty varieties. Medium tarps contain a 10 by 10 denier count, while the heavy duty alternatives contain a denier count of 14 by 14. For this reason, heavy duty polyethylene tarps are better for long term storage options. These tarps can be used to replace the canopy in portable garages, and they can provide long term coverage for seasonal vehicles such as boats and RV’s. If you’re looking for a replacement tarp to cover your boat, garage or canopy, then heavy duty polyethylene tarps are certainly a great choice.
Canvas Tarps and Vinyl Tarps
Canvas tarps and mesh tarps are often used when the object that’s being protected can be exposed to both sunlight and water. This makes them great for covering plants which need low levels of light to grow, as it allows enough light through to feed the plant, yet not so much that it becomes overbearing. Mesh tarps also allow certain levels of water to get through, but still provide enough protection so it doesn’t gather water underneath. Vinyl tarps are incredibly heavy duty. They are normally used when transporting timber or steel, as they are very impermeable to sharp objects. This type of tarp is normally used to line the sides of trucks during transport, as it has a high tensile strength and is resistant to adverse weather conditions and high winds.
