Tarpaulins (or tarps) come in a wide range of sizes to suit various applications. Standard sizes include:

Standard Tarpaulin Sizes

• Small Tarps:
  • 5′ x 7′
  • 6′ x 8′
  • 8′ x 10′
  These sizes are suitable for small covering needs, such as protecting a piece of furniture or covering a small area during painting projects.
• Medium Tarps:
  • 10′ x 12′
  • 12′ x 16′
  • 14′ x 20′
  Medium tarps are commonly used for covering vehicles, boats, and medium-sized equipment. They can also be used as ground covers for camping.
• Large Tarps:
  • 16′ x 20′
  • 20′ x 30′
  • 30′ x 40′
  These are ideal for larger projects such as construction site covers, large boat covers, or temporary roofing solutions.
• Extra Large Tarps:
  • 40′ x 60′
  • 50′ x 100′
  • 100′ x 100′
  Extra-large tarps are used for industrial purposes, such as covering large equipment, creating temporary shelters for large areas, or covering hay bales and other agricultural needs.

Tarpaulin Materials and Thickness

• Materials:
  • Polyethylene (PE): Lightweight, waterproof, and often UV-resistant, suitable for general use.
  • Canvas: Breathable and durable, often used for more heavy-duty applications.
  • Vinyl: Heavy-duty, waterproof, and resistant to chemicals and UV rays, ideal for industrial and long-term outdoor use.
• Thickness (measured in mils):
  • Lightweight: 5-10 mils, suitable for light-duty applications.
  • Medium-weight: 10-15 mils, used for moderate-duty applications.
  • Heavy-duty: 15-20 mils, ideal for heavy-duty applications and long-term use.
  • Super Heavy-duty: 20+ mils, for extreme conditions and industrial use.

Common Uses of Tarpaulins

• Construction: Covering materials and machinery, temporary roofing, scaffolding covers.
• Transportation: Protecting loads on trucks, trailers, and boats.
• Camping: Ground covers, tent floors, and canopies.
• Agriculture: Protecting hay, crops, and equipment from the elements.
• Home Use: Covering furniture, pools, and temporary storage solutions.

Tarpaulins are versatile and come in various colors, which can sometimes denote specific uses (e.g., blue tarps are commonly used for general purposes, while silver tarps might be used for UV protection). Grommets are typically spaced along the edges to allow for secure tie-downs.
