Heavy Weight Tarpaulins

Heavy Weight Tarpaulins

Heavyweight tarps protect items stored outdoors, especially in harsh weather. They use thicker materials and stronger seams. These features guard against the sun’s UV rays, wind, and rain. Some can even handle snow. So, designed for regular use, heavy duty tarpaulins have strong mounting points spaced far apart. This makes it easier for users to tie them down securely.

Heavy duty tarps keep their shape when stretched or pulled. The thicker material adds strength to secure large loads. They also protect against the sun’s UV rays, which helps them last longer.

Heavyweight tarps are perfect for anyone needing durable, stable, and long-lasting covers.

What sets heavyweight tarps apart

Heavy duty tarpaulins use strong materials and detailed construction. They often have at least two layers of thick polyethylene or similar materials. These layers are double-laminated or treated to be fully waterproof.

The edges are reinforced to prevent fraying and splitting. The eyelets for attachment are sturdier than regular ones. They are usually larger and made from aluminum or brass. The eyelets are spaced about 0.5 meters apart. This spacing helps with easy attachment and reduces stress on any single point.

Another key feature of heavyweight tarps is UV protection. Heavy duty tarps without UV protection can degrade when exposed to sunlight over time. Heavyweight tarps with UV inhibitors or coatings last longer. So, they resist fading, cracking, and weakening. If you cover your items all year, a sturdy tarp will protect them in any weather.

Black and silver UV‑protected tarps for the toughest jobs

A solid choice for a tarp is the 270gsm Black Silver Waterproof Tarpaulin. So, it offers UV protection, too. It comes in sizes from small to very large and is available for immediate shipping. Prices range from about £32.99 to £603.99, depending on the size. This makes it competitively priced for a durable tarp.

The tarp is made of heavy-duty polyethylene with UV protection in the lamination. It has reinforced corners and heavy-duty grommets every 50 cm at each corner. So, the supplier says it is 100% waterproof. It has tightly woven fabric and a coating that resists rot and shrinkage. One side is black, and the other is silver, offering versatile use. This strong design is perfect for roofing, covering boats, or any job that needs a tough, weatherproof tarp. With proper care, this heavy material can be reused for many years without losing its shape.

Green 200 gsm tarps for opacity with light allowance

Green tarps are heavy-duty and popular for certain tasks. They consist of woven polyethylene treated for UV protection. This allows some light to pass through while blocking transparency. These tarps provide excellent weather protection for goods and people. They shield against storms, rain, and flying debris. They also provide privacy and a visual shield from the outside, yet still let light in. This is useful for covering outdoor spaces, helping to maintain a less confined or “soft” feel.

Green tarps are widely used in transportation and logistics. They serve as rolling roofs on trucks or trailers and as side-curtain tarps. Rolling roof tarps can quickly open for easy access to bulky loads. After use, they roll back to act as a roof again.

Side-curtain tarps need to be flexible for smooth sliding. They also need to be heavy enough for support and protection. UV Protected Green Tarpaulin 200gsm Woven Polyethylene Waterproof Tarpaulin offers the right strength and movement for these tasks.

Using green tarp material in a heavy duty tarpaulin sheet allows for faster loading and unloading. The tarp won’t block the area and only needs one hook-and-loop fastening system to secure it.

Brown or blue 185 gsm tarps for large‑scale protection

Heavy duty tarpaulins weigh around 185 gsm. They are great for big projects where many items need protection over large areas. These tarps are light for a small team to lift. They are also strong enough to protect against wind, rain, and debris. Moreover, usually seen in blue and brown, they have a neutral look. They are great for outdoor storage, covering market displays, and protecting construction sites. They’re lighter than other materials. Their strong design helps them last for many seasons. They often include UV protection to extend their usable life.

When storing or transporting items outdoors, each tarp must resist wind and changing weather. The 185 gsm weight offers a durable tarp that secures larger loads without tearing. It’s also easier to roll up and store than heavier vinyl or canvas tarps. Many suppliers offer tarps in colors like red, white, green, and black or silver. This variety lets users pick according to their preferences or guidelines. Tarps of this size are great for temporary or large-scale seasonal protection when building a permanent structure isn’t practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heavy duty tarpaulins made from?

Heavy duty tarpaulins are made from strong and durable materials like PVC, polyethylene, or heavy duty canvas. They’re reinforced with thick weaves, strong stitched hems, and rust proof grommets to resist tearing and handle tough conditions and heavy use.

Are tarpaulin sizes finished sizes or cut sizes?

Tarpaulin sizes are usually cut sizes, not finished sizes. This means a cut size is the raw measurement of the material before the edges are folded and sewn to add grommets. Once that’s done, the finished will  be a bit smaller, typically about 3 to 5 percent smaller than what’s advertised.

Which tarpaulins can be cleaned?

Almost all tarpaulins such as vinyl, polyethylene, mesh, and heavy duty canvas can be cleaned, depending on material. PVC and polyethylene tarps can be wiped down easily, but canvas tarps need soft cleaning with mild soap, soft brush, and slightly warm water to protect waterproof coating. However, cleaning them the wrong way can strip away their water resistant coating.

Can damaged tarpaulins be repaired?

Yes, damaged tarpaulins can be repaired using tarps tape, patch kit, or strong stitching. While major damage may need professional repair depending on the material, simple fixes allow you to quickly patch up holes and tears to extend your tarp’s longevity.

What is the difference between heavy duty and extra heavy duty tarpaulins?

The main difference comes down to their thickness, weight, and toughness. Heavy duty tarpaulins are  designed to handle regular outdoor use and everyday wear. While Extra heavy duty tarps come with thicker materials, tighter weave and stronger construction for extreme weather, industrial use, and constant heavy handling. 

Are heavy duty PVC tarpaulins better than polyethylene tarpaulins?

Heavy duty PVC tarpaulins are superior to polyethylene tarps in long term strength, weather protection, and resistance to tearing. PVC is suitable for extended, rugged use, while polyethylene is lighter, more affordable and ideal for short term tasks.

Which tarpaulin is Best for Agriculture Use?

PVC and HDPE tarpaulins are the best choice for agriculture. They are durable, tear-resistant, and protect well against heavy winds, rain, and rough handling. PVC is suitable for heavy-duty needs like large machinery covers, while HDPE is best for cost-effective uses like covering hay and temporary storage.
