Tarpaflex Tarpaulins on Standby for Aftermath of Hurricane Earl

2010-09-02T08:15:00.000-07:00

The category four Hurricane Earl is currently heading for the east coast after rampaging through Puerto Rico and several eastern Caribbean islands– leaving home owners from the Carolinas to Maine facing an uphill struggle to protect their possessions from the tropical storm.

Tarpaflex, the Florida-based tarps retailer have two loaded warehouses of emergency hurricane tarps and suppliers ready to be dispatched, should Earl’s destructive force make land. The National Hurricane Centre in Miami has already forecasted catastrophic damage for those in the path of the hurricane, which could lead to evacuations in some areas.

Bob Page, CEO of Tarpaflex said, “It is vital that residents in affected areas keep an eye on weather forecasts and prepare to evacuate if instructed to do so by local officials. Try and keep a supply of tarps at hand for the aftermath of the Hurricane – they can be used to cover roofs in the event of storm damage and protect cars and other outdoor possession such as boats.”
Tarpaflex are well versed in dealing with the worst of nature’s forces, having made a sizeable donation of heavy duty tarps to Hope for Haiti following the devastating earthquake earlier this year. The firm’s hurricane tarps were shipped to the stricken island and used as emergency shelter and weather proof covers.

Already set aside for the aftermath of Hurricane Earl, Tarpaflex’s blue poly tarps are manufactured from a hardy low density polythene, laminated with high density polythene for strength, water resistance and durability. As with most Tarpaflex tarps they are 100% rot proof, shrink proof, UV protected and flexible to arctic temperatures so can even be stored away and then reused for the next Hurricane season.

Similarly, a warehouse full of silver and green heavy duty tarps has also been earmarked for mopping up after Earl sweeps through. With a 12 x 12 weave count, they are perfect for outdoor use. To browse the range and buy online, visit http://www.tarpaflex.com/

Tarpaflex First in Line to Help Clean up the Gulf!

2010-07-26T08:14:00.000-07:00

Following the generous donations from leading tarps supplier Tarpaflex US, CEO Bob Page talks about his passion for the Gulf and his dedication to help support his home in Florida. The dedication goes further than simple donations; Bob is currently in talks with leading shipping giants UPS, offering a collaboration to get the heavy- duty tarps from both Tarpaflex US and Tarpaflex UK over to the Gulf Coast cleanup as soon as possible.

“It’s our eco system at risk here” states Bob, “The faster the donation, transportation and cleanup process occurs the sooner we can see results and hopefully a healthier, happier Gulf coast”. Tarpaflex have donated not only cash for the cause, the team has sent over pallets of tarps to the Barataria Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP) charity, which pledge to preserve and restore Louisiana wetlands and barrier islands.

The tarps were shipped to the BTNEP locations last week, and the selection of tarps supplied will ensure that all the volunteers on-site will have a water resistant, tough, durable tool to assist in the rescue of oil covered birds and sea life. Bob himself lives in Florida and the Tarpaflex industry is based in Naples; the Gulf oil spill is a matter close to his own heart.

“We’re doing all we can, and the versatile nature of our tarp products can not only help volunteers when rescuing injured and affected animals, but the tarps can be used when the reconstruction of surrounding wildlife areas will finally begin. It’s in everyone’s interests to protect and preserve our already weak eco-system, so working in collaboration with BTNEP is a hugely positive move. The Gulf beaches are a remarkable work of nature, and we want to work together with one simple aim, to restore the normality of which this devastating mistake of man has inflicted upon our home”.

To see the outstanding work which BTNEP do to preserve the environment and to read up on the Gulf cleanup process, visit the official website on www.btnep.org.

The leading suppliers of tarps in the US, Tarpaflex, has donated hundreds of dollars plus offered free tarps to two charities that are helping animals affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Protect Your Field with Tarpaflex’s Athletic Tarps

2010-03-19T03:46:00.000-07:00

White tarps can have a variety of uses as a poly tarp, including on a baseball and other sports fields. Leading US tarp providers, Tarpaflex, have launched their new range of White Athletic Poly Tarps.

The heavy duty tarps are manufactured from strong, low density polyethylene which is laminated on both sides with high density polyethylene, making it tough, durable, tear free and 100% waterproof. As well as this, Tarpaflex’s tarps are lightweight, making them easy to handle, rot proof, shrink proof UV protected and flexible to arctic temperature.

A baseball tarp is primarily a poly tarp cut out in a diamond shape to reflect the shape of a baseball field. This means that the tarps can be rolled out on to the field and left there until the rain passes, as the edges of the tarp are weighed down with chains to hold them firmly in place.

The function of an athletic tarp is to protect a field from getting muddy, preventing future games or functions from being canceled. If people have bought tickets to an athletic event, they usually expect to see it through or expect a refund. Refunding one game is ok, but having to refund several games can cost you more than you may have budgeted. Investing in an athletic tarp from Tarpaflex can ensure you do not have to do this.

Bob Page, from the firm that also sells canvas tarps, said: “Having a dry ground after it rains will mean the game can be resumed sooner, saving precious time. Fans can get agitated if takes to long to clear the ground and so having one of our heavy duty white tarps will mean that the ground will already be pretty dry as soon as it stops raining as our tarps are 100 per cent waterproof.”

Their heavy duty white athletic tarps start at just $39.99 for a 10’ by 10’ single tarp and goes up to $799.99 for a 40’ by 50’ single tarp. They also come in packs of two, three, four, five and eight tarps depending on what size you buy.

A Bright Future for a Bright Tarp!

2010-03-11T09:02:00.001-08:00

Leading industry experts on tarps, US-based Tarpaflex, have launched their latest addition to their ever-growing catalogue, the new Green Heavy Duty Poly Tarp.

Come rain or shine, these extremely heavy duty tarps will do what they say - protect. Made from tough woven polyethylene which has a super tight weave at 16x16 per square inch, this tarp will give you ultimate durability and a much longer shelf life.

With its high UV protection on both sides of the tarp, it can be used in the summer to keep out harmful UV rays, or in the fall, winter or spring to provide you with all your covering needs. Being a bright British Racing Green colour, you will be able to see it from a distance and it will blend into natural environments beautifully with its eco-friendly colour.

If your tarp grommets are always pulling, turn to the Green Heavy Duty Poly Tarps; their grommets are located at 18” intervals all around the tarp and are made from a high quality brass, not only making them hard-wearing, but also making them less likely to pull and snag than your typical aluminum or plastic grommet.

Aside from all this, this super durable tarp is water proof, mildew proof, tear resistant, acid resistant and has arctic flexibility! Bob Page from Tarpaflex said: “These new tarps are very strong and up market but remain extremely competitive in price, just like our other tarps.”

The tarps start at $7.67 for a 6’ by 10’ tarp and go up to $200 for a 32’ by 49’ tarp. The Green Heavy Duty Poly Tarp is ideal for camping, farming, carrying out building work and other heavy duty jobs.

Tarpaflex Make Boat Storage Easy With The ‘Marina Boat Garage’

2009-10-26T06:01:00.000-07:00

Some of the most common items that people look to protect from the elements are their boats. Boats can be both investments and sources of joy and need to be carefully protected from extreme weather. Now, Tarpaflex, who specialise in canvas tarps, coloured tarps and camouflage tarps offer their Marina Boat Garage – the perfect solution for protecting your boat.

Boating is more than just a hobby for some people. For many, it is a way of life and whether the boat is used for fishing or enjoying lazy weekends on lakes and rivers they provide relaxation and joy to many people. A quick and easy boat tarp is very important for your boat's protection and boating enthusiasts know how important it is to have the right protection for their boat. When you own a boat you want to make sure that she is protected all year round, no matter whether it is winter or summer.

Bob Page, CEO of Tarpaflex who also specialise in canvas tarps and clear tarps said, “One of the most popular uses for tarps for many years has been to protect boats from the elements. The fact that tarps are rugged, withstand extremes of temperature and are waterproof makes them the perfect protection for any boat. Now we offer our Marina Boat Garage which is a useful portable shelter for ensuring that boats are afforded the very best protection from whatever Mother Nature can throw at them.”

If your boat lives outside, keeping your boat covered is a must in order that you protect your investment. The sun can damage and fade your boats upholstery and the rain causes water damage as well as sagging from the weight of pooled water inside the boat. When your boat is left uncovered it also becomes a trash receptacle for debris, bugs and leaves blown by the wind. Protecting your boat with a secure tarp is the way to prevent this type of mess.

Mr Page, from the company who specialise in heavy duty tarps and green tarps added, “Our Marina Boat Garage is made of premium ten ounce fabric and is available in green, grey or beige. It is big enough to fit most leisure boats and comes complete with two free double zipper doors, anchors and one roll-up door kit.”

Tarpaflex Launch Biker Tarps

2009-09-28T09:15:00.000-07:00

Tarps have a wide range of uses in industry and agriculture as well as a variety of uses in the home for protecting boats, gardening equipment or cars. Now, Tarpaflex, who specialise in canvas tarps, coloured tarps and tarps offer a innovative and specialist tarp designed to protect motorcycles from the elements.

Both sun and water can damage the exterior of a bike if not protected. Exposure to the sun can turn paint or gel coat chalky as well as cause cracking in the finish over time. Tires on motorbikes are particularly susceptible to damage from the sun, as repeated exposure to sunlight causes the rubber to crack. This is particularly true if your bike were to sit for an extended period of time in one place, with the sun hitting the same part of the tire day after day.

Bob Page, CEO of Tarpaflex who also specialise in canvas tarps and clear tarps said, “A quality poly tarp cover can protect your motorcycle from the damaging effects of sun and water. The breathable nature of a tarp lets condensation out while protecting your bike from the harshness of the elements. The double stitched material of a tarp is soft and abrasion resistant and this avoids scratches to the paintwork and finish.”

Tarpaflex now offer their great “Cycle Pocket” tarp which is specifically designed to afford the maximum protection to a motorcycle. Tarpaflex’s range of tarps are manufactured from tough low density polyethylene, laminated on both sides with high density polyethylene which makes them strong, tear resistant and 100% water proof. The ‘cycle pocket’ is lightweight, easy to handle, rot proof, shrink proof, and UV protected keeping both moisture and sunlight out. This makes it perfect for protecting your motorbike.

Mr Page, from the company who specialise in heavy duty tarps and green tarps added, “Our cycle pocket tarp is the perfect way to protect your valuable motorcycle and offers total protection against rust, dust, moisture, animals and bugs. They come with an indoor long term storage bag and are available in white from our website at http://www.tarpaflex.com.”

Tarps As Cheap and Effective Covers

2009-07-31T12:18:00.000-07:00

Tarps are a remarkably inexpensive way to cover anything and everything you want to cover from the elements like rain and snow, pollutants, pollen, dust, or over spray. They are flexible, cheap, and effective for a wide variety of uses in and outside of the home, farm, or business. They also have many uses related to recreation and novelty uses.

Probably the most common use of tarps is as a cover for large items stored outdoors such as cars and trucks where there is inadequate garage space to store them, cars and trucks being renovated or saved for that "someday" renovation project, boats and canoes, campers, ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and trailers. Whether you choose an inexpensive high-density polyethylene or a heavy-duty or canvas tarp, tarps are strong, tear-resistant, light weight and easy to handle and drape, and completely waterproof. Utilizing the sturdy grommets on the corners, you can either tie the tarp down with stakes or simply weight down the edges with heavy objects like concrete blocks to keep them from blowing off in the wind.

Tarps also make fine covers for piles of firewood that are outdoors drying out keeping rain and snow from saturating them but still letting air circulate around the logs as they dry.

When you're working on any kind of outdoor project and inclement weather threatens or stops you in your tracks, tarps are a fast, easy way to protect your project until the weather clears. This might be a roofing job, addition to a house, or other large construction project you opted to do outdoors for maximum flexibility. Whatever it is, tarps are a godsend when storm clouds start rolling in unexpectedly.

While you don't often think of it as a cover, multiple tarps are also very useful to have along on camping trips. It's a good idea to stretch a tarp over tents and anchor them with stakes, because most tarps are more weather resistant than tent fabric. Especially if water ends up sitting on the roof of the tent, tent fabric inevitably leaks. A tarp stretched out and tied to tree limbs in the forest also makes a handy canopy to protect gear and campers from sun and rain showers while enjoying time outdoors or eating at a picnic table, so they do in essence become durable covers for all practical purposes.

When hauling loads in an open truck bed, tarps are effective covers to protect items from blowing out or getting wet during a rain shower or thunderstorm and are especially helpful for long trips. So the next time you're helping your friends move into a new house or apartment, be sure to throw a few tarps into the truck along.

Save Money by Covering Your Boat With a Tarp

2009-07-23T05:50:00.000-07:00

If your boat lives outside, keeping your boat covered is a must to protect your investment. The sun can cause fade damage to your boats upholstery. The rain can of course cause water damage as well as sagging from the weight of pooled water inside the boat. When your boat is left uncovered it becomes a trash receptacle for all kinds of debris, bugs and leaves flying around. Protecting your boat with a properly fitted properly secured tarp is the way to prevent this type of mess.

The first step is to measure the boat's length and width to get the correct size tarp. Remember the old adage measure twice, cut once or in this case buy once. It is best to completely measure the boat two separate times and compare the measurements before you spend the money on a good tarp. Measure the boat from front to back at the longest point, then measure from side to side at the widest point of the boat.

You should also measure how tall the boat is. Remember front to back is a straight measurement but you need to allow extra length for the tarp to rise over seats or roofs and fall back to the rail of the boat. The best way to do this is to get help and physically measure from the front up over the highest point on the boat to the back with a measuring tape. Measure the same way from side to side on the boat. When you have the physical length and width measured, add length to each to bring the edge of the tarp down to a level below the top of the boat. You want the edge of the tarp above the trailer and below the top edge of the boat, in order to tie it down well.

Choose a heavy or super heavy duty tarp for your boat. The better quality tarp you choose will save you money in the long run. Getting a tarp with grommets every 18 inches or less will also save money in the long run. Grommets at 18 inches instead of 36 inches help to spread the wind stress across the entire tarp to prevent ripping and allow for tighter and smoother tie down so water does not pool on the tarp. Selecting the highest quality tarp the first time will save you money in the future by preventing you from having to buy a new tarp after every hard storm.

Tarps For Covering a Jet Ski

2009-07-15T02:09:00.000-07:00

Let’s face it. If you own a jet ski you have made a decent sized investment in it. They are not particularly cheap. Some people think that since the machine is designed for out of door use in a moist environment that it is not necessary to keep it covered and to take specifically good care with it. These are the same folks who will be complaining in a year or two when the Jet Ski is in for an expensive repair. One of the least expensive and most effective things that you can do for your investment and to prolong its useful lifespan is to keep it covered when it is not is use. You can get fitted covers o you can buy one of a plethora of tarps for covering a Jet Ski that are on the market today.

Tarps are available in varied price points and you can go inexpensive or top of the line. The important thing is that you get a tarp for covering a Jet Ski and get it on the Jet Ski when it is not being used so that it can protect your expensive investment from damage from the elements. Remember, if you take care of it then it will take care of you. By keeping it covered you are going to lessen the possibility of something corroding and breaking when you are out on the lake and far from shore.

The least expensive tarp made it the blue colored tarp. It does a decent job of covering and waterproofing and keeping things away from rain and sun. However they do tend to wear out quicker because they are made cheaper. So you need to decide if buying one that is of better quality is a better option.

White tarps and the silver tarps are considered to be the best available. The white tarps are usually a lot thicker than the other tarps that are made and so tend to last longer and offer more protection while not being as susceptible to damage from tearing. The silver tarps are more reflective and do a great job of reflecting off the suns rays. So this one might be the best option for a tarp for covering a Jet Ski if your Jet Ski is going to be stored in direct sunshine for long periods of time between uses.

One other thing to keep in mind when looking at tarps for any reason is that some tarps have a reinforced corner in addition to the grommet. That means that it can withstand more rough usage with bungee cords when you are tying it down and around the Jet Ski. The more secure that you can make the tarp the better it can do its job.

Tarps and Roofs: How To Cover A Leaking Roof The Right Way

2009-07-07T08:55:00.000-07:00

It's every homeowner's worst nightmare: a leaking roof. Whether it's been caused by wear and tear or is the result of a hurricane, this is a situation that requires immediate attention. Failure to take proper action can seriously compromise the structural integrity of your roof, as well as cause major damage to the interior of your home. Simply slapping some plastic over a damaged roof is not sufficient; you must make sure that you use the right materials and take the correct measures to do the job right.

When a leak occurs in a roof, the damage extends far beyond the shingles and structure of the roof itself. A roof that experiences water damage can weaken or rot; over time, it can even completely collapse. Also, water damage can result in mold, which can further weaken your roof and make it structurally unsound. Therefore, as soon as a roof has incurred damages that may cause leaks, it needs to be covered thoroughly with the proper material.

The first - and most important - step in properly covering your damaged roof is choosing the right kind of tarp . One of the most popular, widely used choices is 2.7 ounce blue tarp. This kind of tarp is a big seller because it comes in a huge selection of sizes and is one of the least expensive options. However, you do get what you pay for: in exchange for saving a few dollars, you run the risk of not properly protecting your roof. Blue tarp is just not heavy duty enough to do this important job adequately.

Rather than skimp on the materials, you should invest in a heavy duty tarp that will do the job right. A great example is a silver, 6.0 ounce per square yard style tarp. These are incredibly strong and tear resistant. Using a tarp like this to protect your damaged roof is a great first step in ensuring that further, irreversible damages do not occur.

Once you have purchased the proper kind of tarp , gather the other necessary supplies. You will need a couple of 2 x 4 wood strips, nails, a hammer, a knife, safety glasses and a ladder. You will preferably want to have all of these supplies at the ready on a utility belt so that your hands are free. Pinpoint the areas on the roof where the damage has occurred and where leaks have started, then carry your silver tarp and tools to the roof and follow these steps:

1) Roll out enough of the tarp to cover the damaged section(s) of the roof; it should extend from the eaves to the peak, and it should be cut so that an additional four feet are on either end.

2) The 2 x 4's should be two feet longer than the width of the tarp; wrap one end of the tarp around one of them. Carefully nail in or staple the tarp to the 2 x 4.

3) Nail another 2 x 4 over the tarp that is already secured to the first 2 x 4; the tarp will now be between the two strips of wood.

4) Place the secured end of the tarp on the eaves line; drape the tarp over the ridge and to the other side of the roof.

5) Secure the other end of the tarp the same way you did the first one (see step 3); nail it to the roof cheathing.

6) Use additional 2 x 4's to nail down and secure the other sides of the tarp.

By purchasing the right kind of tarp and carefully following these steps, you can make sure your roof is properly protected. Why run the risk of having your roof destroyed? Doing this job the right way, with the right materials, is imperative.

Poly Tarps Cover and Protect the World

2009-03-25T12:22:00.000-07:00

Poly Tarps, or tarpaulins, have proven themselves to be one of the most widely used and versatile tools found around the world. Made of nylon cords that have been weaved together and then coated with polyethylene (the origination of the word “poly” in “poly tarps”), the cheaper of these tarps are generally found in shades of blue or green and are made from a single sheet of polyethylene fiber, while more heavy duty poly tarps are silver or black and are made up of several layers.

Poly tarps are quite effective at keeping out the natural elements and are easily adapted to many different situations, which explains their popularity around the world. They can be found in use all across the United States and Europe, protecting homes and crops from sudden sand storms in the Middle East and helping those in tropical areas protect themselves during hurricanes and other natural disasters.

We see tarps used most often in the United States for construction and recreation. Poly tarps vary in size and can easily be cut to a needed shape and still remain relatively sturdy, making them ideal to cover cars, boats or to protect gear when traveling through a rain storm. They are often found on construction sites, protecting soft lumber from possible scratches or gouges coming from flying debris. Importers and exporters often use poly tarps as large dividers for their cargo, as several tarps can be strung together to reach from floor to ceiling even in a large cargo ship.

Farmers in all regions have been known to cover hay and other easily damaged crops with tarps, as the tight weave of the polyethylene fibers is excellent for keeping even the smallest amount of water from slipping through and rotting the straw. Poly tarps have been keeping farms from losing millions in destroyed goods since their creation.

Perhaps one of the most interesting uses for a poly tarp is in the way it can bring humanitarian aid in the midst of natural disaster. It is under these particular circumstances where the versatility of a poly tarp really shines through. During a natural disaster where homes have been destroyed and people suddenly find themselves exposed to the elements, poly tarps can be used to build temporary shelters, keeping out rain, wind and even heat. As it can be used to cover straw and grains, tarps can also be used to protect what is left of a local food supply. It can be used to patch holes in homes and buildings that are still standing and can even be sliced up to be used as makeshift bandages or even slings. And once the disaster is over and the crisis has passed, the tarps can be used to gather the belongings that have survived.

The simple, sturdy construction of poly tarps is what allows them to be so useful in so many different situations. Strong, versatile and adaptable, when it comes to finding uses for these tarps, the possibilities are endless.

Tarps Used in Hotels

2009-03-23T18:32:00.000-07:00

Tarps can be an invaluable resource, not just at home or at industrial job sites, but also in the hotel business. They have many uses, from jobs big and small, and are often an inexpensive way to get the job done. Tarps can be as cheap as pennies on the dollar, or can be an expensive item to invest in, but either way they are a vital part of everyday business in the hotel industry.

If work is being done that might get messy, a tarp should be considered. Painters that might be re-painting a wall or ceiling will need to put a tarp down to cover anything that might become marred by paint drips or spills, which will ultimately be a costly replacement for the hotel and be an eyesore to guests. Tarps can also be used to cover such equipment when not in use, or any equipment that shouldn't get wet if it has to stay outside, which sometimes becomes the case when indoor storage is simply not available. Hotels often use equipment like ladders, or lawn and garden equipment, which can become rusty and dangerous should it get wet, meaning the hotel would need to spend the money to replace the equipment. A simple tarp covering can prevent an accident like this from occurring.

Hotels that have outside swimming pools often rely on tarps to cover the water out of season or at the end of the day, if the pool has set hours. A simple tarp covering can keep out leaves and other debris, and will be a deterrent for patrons that wish to use the pool after hours. During storms, a tarp over the swimming pool can prevent costly damage from losing too much water and can keep unwanted items from entering the water.

Outdoor plants that are in danger of frost or sun damage can be covered quickly by using a tarp that is secured over the shrubs and flowers. The tarp can also protect precious foliage from hail, snow, and heavy winds that might threaten their home and soil. Plants that need to be re-potted or replaced mean extra money for supplies and labor, when the damage could have been prevented from a simple tarp covering.

Tarps can also serve as a quick tent canopy in a pinch, ensuring that guests are out of the shade and elements, if need be. They can repel water to protect that special reception or barbecue, making sure guests of the hotel are ultimately happy in the end. If something should happen to the hotel roof or a window, a simple tarp can be an easy covering to keep the wind out and the warmth in until it can be properly repaired.

These are just a few of the practical uses tarps can provide to hotels, although there are many more. It's important for any hotel to have several tarps on hand at all times, in case of emergencies.

The Many Uses of Tarps at Home

2009-03-22T17:24:00.000-07:00

Tarps are one of the most common low cost purchases by homeowners. They can be used for many different things around the home. Tarps are made from different materials, and the material used will have a factor in what it is used for. The most common type of tarp is a poly tarp. These are usually coated with a plastic, making them water resistant. The coating also adds a little extra strength to the tarp. Usually found in blue, green or brown, poly tarps can be used for almost anything at home. Families with small children will use these tarps to cover sand boxes, maintaining a safe and dry place for children to play. The are also used as car and boat covers, protecting your valued assets from the elemenets. Anyone who has a wood burning stove will benefit greatly from this low budget purchase. A simple tarp can keep your wood protected from rain and snow during the winter months. Poly tarps are also great for creating temporary shelters. Many people use tarps to make canopies that offer shelter from the sun during the hot summers.

Canvas and mesh tarps are not at commonlu used around the home, though they do serve great purposes. A canvas tarp offers much more strength than a poly tarp. Though they are not as waterproof as a poly tarp, canvas tarps are treated and are water resistant. These tarps are great for wrapping around furntiure when moving. They offer padded protection and will repel rain water, keeping the items dry and damage-free. Canvas tarps are beneficial to have around the home when redecorating. They make wonderful drop cloths, protecting your floors and furniture from paint spills and drops.

Mesh tarps are not seen often, but they do provide wonderful possibilities around the home. They can be used for creating privacy screens and shading. They can also be used for storage purposes. Though these tarps do not provide the many uses of the canvas or poly types, they are beneficial to have around the home.

If you are a homeowner, you will find that you will always find the need for a tarp. If planning a spring construction project, having tarps will make things much easier. They can be used under working areas, making clean up faster. They are also often used to cover lumber over night so the wood does not absorb any moisture. Tarps come in handy when doing yardwork. They make disposing of leaves and grass clippings fast and simple and can also be used for transporting mulch to different areas of the yard.

There are endless uses for tarps. They are a low cost item that can prove to have hundreds of uses in and around the home. Tarps offer the protection, safety and security you may need at an affordable cost.

Green Poly Tarps

2009-03-22T16:30:00.000-07:00

Are you mad because your blue tarp has already torn up? Next time around purchase a green tarp instead. Yea blue ones are alright in the pinch but not for the long term, the green tarps are for the long haul. You can get green tarps in several sizes, and have unique features that make them useful in many different situations. The green tarps are built for the heavy duty jobs you need to tackle. They are made from a much thicker plastic than the blue ones are. This helps them last longer than the blues too. With proper care they can last many times longer. The green tarps usually will last a good 6 months to one year, which is longer than the blues last under normal conditions. The material that the green tarps are made from is most of the time polyethylene. Just look at the gauges of the tarps to compare, the green is 6 ounce gauge, and the blue is 3 ounce gauge. So the green tarps can be up to twice as strong as the blue tarps. Aside from this, there is a coating added to the green tarps. This keeps them from rotting due to UV rays like the blue tarps do within a few months. The green ones often include limited 3-year warranties of for UV protection and how durable they are. These tarps often stand up to extremely high winds and storms. You can use them to cover your tent camping, or you can cover cargo in your truck, and be confident that they will protect either from weather changes and high winds alike. The blue tarps have grommets that are 3 feet apart, whereas the green tarps have the grommets 18 inches apart. This allows you to tie down what your a covering more tightly to protect it, or secure it to the ground better. More grommets mean more spots you can tie it down. This means that the edges will not get overly stressed with a more secure tie on, because the stress is more evenly placed throughout the edges. Thanks to their coating these green tarps are one hundred percent waterproof. The tarps are actually covered on both their sides with this waterproofing material. It enables you to keep your tent or load dry. Wet ground will not even be a concern; just place the green tarp on the wet, and then place the tent over it, and you will be shielded fro the dampness. The tarps will shield your wood piles for dampness, whether it is for fire wood or construction type lumber. As long as you have your items completely under the green tarps they will not get wet at all. If you live in a rural area, the green tarp would blend in with the countryside instead of sticking out like the blue ones do. Your wood piles will never stand out anymore! In other situations where the tarps could be used they would be more pleasing to the eyes too. Blue just slaps you in the eyes unlike green. Green tarps overall are well worth the cost. They last more time than the blue tarps do. But along with that they are water, rip, and sun rot proof. They have more strength and are not as noticeable as the blue ones. Just think you will not have to spend as much money trying to replace the green tarps as you do with the blue tarp. This permits you to have this money to spend on other things such as food. The blue tarps aren't good for the environment either because you have to dispose of more of them. So buying the better built, more durable, and kinder to the environment green tarps is the right choice.

Camping With A Poly Tarp

2009-03-21T20:04:00.000-07:00

Growing up in a camping family, I have had lots of uses for tarps while camping. I will show various ways that tarps can be used when you are camping or even just enjoying a day at the lake or beach.

My father was the Boyscout leader when I was a child, and even though I was a little boy, there were times that we were able to go with the troop on camping trips.

I remember one in particular, was a Boyscout Jamboree, and there were tents and campsites set up as far as we could see. Our tent was one of the troops' tents and I remember it was green like an Army tent, the floor of the tent was made out of tarp, not like today's tents with just the basic tent material as a bottom. It was great! The floor stayed dry during the numerous thunderstorms we experienced that week.

That experience helped me determine that every camper package should include at least one tarp. I ALWAYS put a tarp down on the ground beneath my tent now, and roll the excess tarp up and under the tent to create a barrier from any water on the ground so that the floor of the tent doesn't get wet.

I did say "at least" one tarp, because there are many other reasons to have tarps with you while camping. One of which is shade, you can tie tarps to tree limbs to create a lean-to effect for shade on hot days or shelter from rain on wet days.

A tarp could also be used for warmth, just throw one over your sleeping bags on a cold night and help keep the whole family warm.

Now I always have another tarp when camping that I use to create a bathroom, yes you could just go in the woods, but I prefer privacy as do many others and I believe it is a cleanlier way to take care of "business" without leaving a mess for others. I take a five gallon bucket, tarp and string. I find a good tree with branches above my head I weave the string through the tarp and tie to four different branches creating an enclosure, place the bucket inside the enclosure and "Wahlah!", outdoor potty! Note: take a lid for the bucket and dispose of properly when you leave the campsite, no fuss, no mess!

Another good use for tarps would be for picnic tables, you just throw it over the table and if you spill something you can easily wipe it off instead of a tablecloth that would require cleaning in a washer.

I would recommend having at least four lightweight tarps on any camping trip, even if you don't use all of them they are not heavy to carry and can be easily folded and stored away neatly. Tarps are a MUST! Don't leave home without one.

Tarps That Block Out The Sun

2009-03-21T19:47:00.000-07:00

The poly tarp is a durable and well constructed tarp that is made to stand up to the hottest rays of sun and the wettest winter days. If you finally got that Corvette you have saved for, you need to cover it with a durable poly tarp. Made with the best materials, silver poly tarps are waterproof, mildew proof, and they can survive a few feet of snow on them! The paint job on that Corvette would sure cost a bit if damaged from an ice storm or if it was faded from the summer sun. Think of the money you will save by investing in a quality tarp!

Tarpaulins are made with 18 inch spacing of grommets instead of 36 inches. They have a 40 micron UV coating that makes their protection lasting and durable. Silver poly tarps are not only resistant to mildew and water but to tears and the boiling sun! Some acids won't even damage a durable poly tarp! Silver is highly reflective color and poly tarps are coated on both sides for better protection against the strongest of UV rays.

The reflective poly tarp is woven from durable polyethylene material and is woven with 14 strands both horizontally and vertically per square inch for a closer and tighter weave. The bottom side of a silver poly tarp is also coated with extra UVI coating. No light will pass through this tarp! The corners of a tarpaulin are reinforced with plastic that is molded and the seams are either double stitched or heat sealed for extra durability the grommets are rust resistant so don't worry about drops of wet rust falling onto the paint job of that corvette you are covering up with a heavy duty poly tarp. Tying the tarp down will be a cinch. With the reinforced grommets, you can pull a good, close fit with a silver poly tarp over whatever you are trying to keep protected and not have to worry about tearing.

Most Heavy duty poly tarps weigh 6.0 oz. per square yard and have a tensile strength of 1200 Denier. Some silver poly tarps have a tensile strength of 1600 denier. They can be as thick as 12 mls. A mil measures diameter in things like thread and wiring. Denier measures the density of fibers. The silver poly tarp is woven tightly for the durability needed in harsh weather and can be compared to other tarps that are different colors and weigh a lot less. Keep in mind, the higher the denier count, the stronger the tensile strength. The stronger the tarp, the better coverage you will get.

Silver is the most highly reflective of all the colors. Poly tarps made in a silver color are also coated on both sides with UVI coating and has inner material of black mesh that blocks out virtually all light! If you want that corvette to stay in tip top shape, keep it protected from the elements with a quality silver tarp!
