Nowadays, many enterprising Americans are starting their own painting and handyman businesses. And personally, we cant blame them. Its a $27 billion dollar industry and the mean hourly wage is about $18. If you are contemplating joining the industrys ranks this year, dont forget to buy construction tarps.

Construction tarps are not the same as those flimsy, little drop cloths that you see on sale at the paint store. We like to think of them as an essential, season extending tool. Yes, we said a season extending tool. What you may not realize just yet is that the conditions have to be optimal for painting. When they are not, construction tarps can prove to be heaven scent. Take spring temperatures and airborne pollen as an example. Together they can cause exterior paint to peel off, bubble, run and turn colors.

Because of that, some exterior painting companies opt to refrain from doing business until May. They also tend to stop work once evening temperatures start dropping in the fall. Those with construction tarps in their arsenal, however, dont have to wait to start or stop early. Thats because high quality construction tarps can prevent those previously mentioned problems from happening. Theyll also protect the painting surface from accidental impacts, insects, moisture and other wind-borne debris.

Of course they can also protect your painting supplies, equipment and the surrounding environment too. As such, its not uncommon to see construction tarps used year round in a variety of ways. For example, they could be used inside of a building to prevent cast off spray from contaminating other areas. They could also be used to cover commercial spray paint machines and metal paint cans during sudden summer downpours.

At Canopies and Tarps, we sell quite an assortment of construction tarps. Several are made with solid, lightweight, rugged poly. Others are constructed with a tear resistant mesh. The dark colored, mesh tarps tend to be wonderful for use during situations when ventilation and privacy are both a priority.
