About Tarps
Tarps are a versatile, multi-purpose material that can be used for a variety of tasks. They are often used to protect and cover items from the elements, provide shade, create a barrier between people and objects, and even provide privacy. Tarps come in a wide range of sizes, materials, and colors. Check out our wide selection of Zoro blue tarps in a variety of sizes.
Types of Tarps
Tarps can be made from canvas, polyethylene plastic, or nylon. Canvas tarps are heavy-duty and highly durable but more expensive than their plastic counterparts. Poly tarps are lightweight yet strong enough for outdoor use and offer excellent water resistance. Nylon tarps are best suited for indoor use as they are not waterproof. Be sure to pick up some bungee cords to hold your tarps down during transport.
How Tarps Are Made
Tarps typically have several layers consisting of an outer fabric layer (usually canvas or polyethylene) with one or more inner layers of rubberized asphaltic coating that helps make them waterproof. The rubberized coating is applied through a process known as calendaring which uses heat to melt the asphaltic compound into the fabric.
Industries That Use Tarps
Tarps have many applications across multiple industries such as construction sites, warehouses, trucking companies, agricultural operations, event planners, landscapers and gardeners. Professionals in these industries rely on tarps to protect items from rain damage during transport or storage; provide privacy during events; create temporary shelters; or even serve as ground covers.
