    Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Duty Poly Tarps

    What are heavy-duty poly tarps used for?

    Thick polyethylene or vinyl heavy-duty poly tarps have multiple practical uses across various environments. Due to their exceptional durability, they're perfect for projects that demand reliable, long-term protection from the elements. This includes covering and protecting large machinery, cars, boats, and raw materials on construction sites or farms.

You can learn more by reading our article on tarps for gardening: protecting plants and extending growing seasons.

    What is the thickness of your heavy-duty tarps?

    The thickness of our heavy-duty tarps is what sets them apart in terms of strength and resilience. Typically, our heavy-duty tarps are 10–12 mil thick. This substantial thickness, combined with reinforced edges and high-density weaving, significantly accounts for their superior strength and resistance to tears compared to lighter-weight tarps. For even heavier needs, we offer vinyl tarps, which can be thicker.

    What does "mil" mean in tarp thickness?

    "Mil" is a common unit of measurement in the tarp industry, and it refers to the thickness of the tarp in thousandths of an inch. For instance, a 10 mil tarp is 0.010 inches thick. It’s a direct indicator of the material's bulk and strength: the higher the mil, the greater the durability and protection offered.

    Are heavy-duty poly tarps UV resistant?

    Yes, our quality poly tarps are UV-treated to resist sun damage and fading during prolonged outdoor use.

    Are your poly tarps waterproof?

    Yes, our trusted heavy-duty poly tarps are 100% waterproof and do an excellent job of repelling rain and moisture. Our poly tarps are constructed from tightly woven polyethylene and laminated, creating a seamless barrier that repels all forms of rain and moisture. This full waterproofing capability is essential for protecting valuable assets, such as equipment and supplies, from water damage, mold, and mildew.

    Do these tarps have grommets? How far apart are they?

    Absolutely. To ensure easy and secure tie-down, our tarps include rust-resistant grommets. These reinforced metal rings are typically spaced approximately every 18 to 36 inches along the edges. This consistent spacing provides numerous secure anchor points, helping you pull the tarp taut and secure it properly with appropriate accessories.

    Will a tarp protect plants from frost?

    Yes, anchoring a poly tarp securely in place, especially over a frame or hoops, can create a protective layer of still air. This setup can help insulate and shield plants from light or moderate frost by trapping ground heat and blocking cold winds, helping you extend your growing season as detailed in our gardening blog.

    Can heavy-duty poly tarps be used to cover vehicles or machinery?

    They are ideal for protecting cars, boats, and equipment from weather and debris — exactly what our durable poly tarps are built for. For dedicated solutions, we also offer portable car garages and canopies.

    Can I order a tarp in a custom size?

    Yes, we understand that standard sizes don't always meet every need. Custom tarp sizes are often available upon request. For specific requirements regarding non-standard structures or equipment, please contact our customer support team to discuss your options.

    What accessories should I use with a heavy-duty tarp?

    Using the right accessories is crucial for securing your tarp effectively and preventing damage. Common, highly recommended accessories include ball bungees for quick, flexible tie-downs, straps for heavy-duty anchoring, and tarp clips to create temporary anchor points.

    Can heavy-duty poly tarps handle freezing or extreme heat?

    Yes. Our heavy-duty poly tarps are engineered to remain flexible in sub-zero temperatures and maintain strength under direct sunlight, making them ideal for both winter and summer conditions.

    How should I clean and store my heavy-duty poly tarp?

    Rinse with mild soap and water, let it air-dry completely, and store in a cool, dry place. Following the dos and don'ts for cleaning heavy-duty poly and vinyl tarpaulins ensures proper care, preventing mold and prolonging the life of your heavy-duty poly tarps.

    Are flame-retardant or specialized tarps available?

    Absolutely. We offer flame-retardant and specialty heavy duty poly tarps for construction, industrial, and event applications where safety standards are required.
