Heavy-duty tarps are used for a variety of applications, typically in the transportation, building, mining and construction industries. Heavy-duty tarps are made from building-grade materials, such as canvas or high-density polyethene. The type of tarp fabric used depends on the size and use of the heavy-duty tarp. Through no fault of your own, you can damage your building due to storm damage, such as heavy rain or wind. Heavy-duty tarps are an excellent short-term solution to help protect your building and its contents during repairs. Emergency services and insurers will arrange short or long-term hire of heavy-duty tarps, to ensure no further damage. Bee Jays Canvas recently created a custom heavy-duty tarp to protect the escalators being built at the new Perth Airport train station. Builders needed protection for the new escalator, while the roof was being completed, to protect it from the elements. You can see the installation video in our recent custom tarp article here.

The transportation industry relies heavily on heavy-duty tarps to protect transport loads and provide safe delivery. Truck tarps made of strong, durable, and easy-to-handle materials can be used for any load including flatbeds and dump trucks. Truck tarps need to be able to withstand the elements, frequent breaks and heavy loads. They also need to enable easily accessible, quick and secure delivery. 

The shipbuilding and offshore industries operate in some of the harshest environments and often require heavy-duty tarps to protect equipment. Heavy-duty tarps need to be resistant to all weather conditions, from wind and rain to sand and heat.

Custom heavy-duty tarps are essential on most construction and mine sites for many different uses. Heavy-duty tarps are perfect for protecting unfinished scaffolding on site as well as covering large holes dug for foundations or pipes.

Heavy-duty tarps can also be used to cover construction materials left on site or to enclose areas with open-sided roof structures. Another use is as dividing curtains in workshops. The tarpaulin is designed to be used for both fishing and camping. It can be used to move yard debris and leaves as well as protect playground equipment, lawnmowers and other garden equipment. It can also be used to attach a load to the roof of a trailer or vehicle. It can survive extreme weather, including rain, snow, wind, and sun exposure. You don't need to change the cover sheet as often as it is also resistant to rot and mildew. Additionally, it is waterproof, which allows for occasional water cleaning.
