Truck tarps should be durable, and so they must be made of the best vinyl material. For instance, T4L heavy duty truck tarps contain first quality 10, 14, and 18 -vinyl tarp fabric.

What does one look for in general when purchasing a tarp?

When purchasing a tarp look at its durability, the material it is made with, thickness, size availability, color choices, brand reputation, and customer reviews. Then go for one that best suits your needs.

Are your tarps made of the best vinyl material?

Truck tarps should be durable, and so they must be made of the best vinyl material. For instance, T4L heavy duty truck tarps contain first quality 10, 14, and 18-ounce vinyl tarp fabric. Vinyl tarpaulins are industrial-grade and intended for heavy-duty use. They are constructed of 10 oz/sq yd (340 g/m2) coated yellow vinyl. This makes them waterproof and have high abrasion resistance and tear strength. These tarps resist oil, acid, grease and mildew. The vinyl tarp is ideal for agriculture, construction, industrial and trucks.

T4L also permits you to customize your tarp with your company’s name printed on it for a small fee. The vinyl paint they use to print your company name won’t crack or peel, ensuring that your tarp looks great during its lifespan.

What are the different types of tarps available?

Companies like Tarps4less offer Lumber Tarps, Plywood/Wallboard Tarps, Steel Tarps, Heavy Duty Mesh Tarps as well as Custom Truck Tarps along with its complete line of Cargo Controls

What is the difference between a waterproof tarp and water resistant tarp?Waterproof tarps can withstand entry of water. Some can even be submerged and will remain impermeable to water. Polyethylene tarps and vinyl tarps are examples. These tarps are easy to clean because spills are not absorbed into the tarp and can be cleaned. They are also more tear resistant, fire retardant, UV resistant, and typically oil, acid, dirt, grease and mildew resistant. Waterproof tarps, on the other hand, are best for construction and industrial environments or for covering boats and cars. They can withstand entry of water for only a short period. Canvas tarps are water resistant tarps, strong and breathable. A treatment of oil and wax makes them resistant to both water and mildew. They can also be made waterproof if they are coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a similar substance. If angled correctly, water will run or slide off the tarp. However, if water pools on the tarp, the tarp will begin to perspire or absorb moisture. These tarps are ideal for activities like painting and camping, or for covering equipment or firewood.
