Tarp Sizes - Small and Big Tarpulin

There are many tarp sizes available at our Canadian tarp shop. We have a wide variety of tarps to fit your specific needs. The right size can often be difficult to find. You will want your tarp to sufficiently cover what you need to protect. Keep in mind that you don’t always want a big tarpaulin or an oversized tarp because too much excess can get in the way.

If you're transporting cargo you will want a tarp that fits perfectly. A tarp that is too big can create wind flapping. This can be a distraction on the road and cause an accident. A tarp should protect cargo not distract drivers.

How to Find the Right Tarp Size for Your Intended Use, Application or Project

Finding the right size tarp for your project can be difficult. There are many different variables to consider. Finding the right size for your intended use is key. You will first want to measure how much area you need to cover. Determining the weight of your effects and purpose are also called for. For example, If you are hauling cargo or intend to use a tarp for containment, the weight of your goods will determine how high the GSM (Grams Per Square Metre) of your tarp needs to be.

Tarp Applications and Usage Requirements

There are many reasons why you may need a tarp. Tarps can protect, secure, hide or draw attention to areas and goods. They can be used for small, medium and large jobs. Tarpaulin is an excellent way to keep things organized as well. Here are some examples of how tarps are used:

 

• Shelter or coverage for a gathering of lots of people during bad or extreme weather
• Coverage from a leaky roof - giant tarpaulin

• harbour freight, large construction sites and other giant-scale environments

Tarp Types - Choosing the Best Materials and Colours

There are different types that you can buy. Material, colour and weight play an important role. Using a thin (but durable) recreational tarp for a construction project probably wouldn’t suit your needs but it would be great for camping. You can check out our article about the different types of tarps or read below about the most common tarp materials:

• Poly tarps – Blue, heavy-duty, lightweight and water-resistant. These tarps are best suited for camping, light construction, home applications like covering a tire, your roof, boat, truck, RV or using them for shelter
