Tarp Buying Tips

Whether you need a heavy-duty tarp for your construction site, landscaping needs, or other use, there are some important things to consider when choosing a heavy tarp.

• Mil Thickness: determines how thick your tarp is. While some lightweight tarps of 5 or 6 mils are ok for light duty applications, you may want to add heavy or super duty tarp our two to the equation.  When you have special needs requiring extra rugged construction for large projects, commercial or industrial applications, thicker tarps with higher mil ranges are even more durable and less prone to tears, holes or other similar types of damages, depending on your uses.  A few examples follows below:

         Tarps by Mil (thickness)

          5 mil | 6 mil | 10 mil | 20 mil | 22 mil | 23 mil | 30 mil | 40 mil | 50 mil

• Fabric Weight and Size: is also important to consider when considering heavy duty tarps.  These are sometimes labeled by their fabric or weight per square yard and their size. While you can find standard "off the shelf" stock large tarp sizes, it can often be advantageous to select all the features that maximize the value of your investment by ordering heavy duty custom tarps.
