Covers & Liners
Tarpaulin
Waterproof, UV-treated covers, built for the elements, 100–400 GSM.
Covers & Liners Strong, flexible, water-resistant sheeting, woven from high-density polyethylene and coated with LDPE on one or both sides for a waterproof finish.
Tarpaulin (“polytarp”) is a large, strong, flexible, water-resistant sheet made from plastics such as polyethylene or polypropylene. Modern tarpaulins are woven from HDPE and coated with LDPE on one or both sides to make them water-resistant or fully waterproof.
Reinforced grommets and eyelets at the corners, with D- or O-rings along the sides, form attachment points for rope, so they can be tied down or suspended.

Type & size
Depending on the weaving and coating, tarpaulins are made in different weight categories, generally from 100 GSM to 400 GSM. For industries covering food materials such as grain, the tarpaulin is treated against ultraviolet light and can last for years exposed to the elements.
Ready-made tarps are typically available from 2 m to 30 m, and rolls can generally be customised, all to the client’s specification.
