Heavy Duty Tarpaulins

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a heavy duty tarpaulin?

As the name suggests, Heavy Duty Tarpaulins are made from durable materials that last longer and provide better protection against rain, dust, and harsh weather than economy or medium-weight tarpaulins.

What's the difference between PVC, PE (polyethylene), and canvas tarpaulins?

The major difference between them is the material they are made from. PVC tarpaulins are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which provides excellent waterproof protection and offers 100% protection against rain. PE tarpaulins are made from polyethylene (PE), which is also a waterproof material and performs well in wet conditions. Canvas tarpaulins, on the other hand, are made from cotton duck fabric, making them strong, breathable, and ideal for shelters. Unlike PVC and PE tarpaulins, canvas absorbs water unless it has been specially treated for water resistance
