Tarps by Size
Shopping for tarps by size makes it easier to find the right coverage for your project. Whether you need a tarp for equipment protection, vehicles, construction materials, outdoor storage, or temporary weather protection, choosing the correct dimensions is one of the most important steps.
Our tarps by size category includes a wide range of common and specialty tarp dimensions, from smaller everyday sizes to oversized tarps for large-scale coverage. Available materials include poly, vinyl, canvas, and mesh tarps in multiple duty levels for both short-term and long-term outdoor use.
If you are unsure which size to choose, keep in mind that tarp sizing often involves both cut size and finished size. For help understanding the difference, see our cut size vs finished size guide.
How to Choose the Right Tarp Size
Choosing the right tarp size starts with measuring the area or item you need to cover. In most cases, it is best to select a tarp that provides a little extra coverage so the tarp can be secured properly with grommets, tie-downs, or bungee ties.
- Measure the full length and width of the area you need to cover
- Add extra material if the tarp needs to wrap over edges or sides
- Consider how the tarp will be secured
- Check whether the listed size is the cut size or the finished size
For equipment, vehicles, firewood, and outdoor storage, customers often choose a slightly larger tarp size to ensure full coverage and easier tie-down.

Choosing Tarp Sizes by Application
Different tarp sizes work better for different jobs. Smaller tarp sizes are often used for home projects, firewood, patio furniture, and small equipment. Medium sizes are common for vehicles, job site materials, and outdoor storage. Large tarp sizes are often used for agricultural coverage, construction projects, industrial containment, and oversized equipment protection.
If you are covering a vehicle, trailer, canopy frame, roof section, or stack of materials, it is important to allow extra coverage for drape and tie-down points.
