Strong And Durable Poly Tarps
By Ken Marlborough, Tue Dec 6th

Tarpaulins (tarps) are made from many different materials,taking into account different factors such as strength, cost,and ability to withstand the elements. One particularly usefulmaterial is polyethylene, one of the most versatile man-madefibers in existence. It can be used to make boats, cables,pipes, and plastic bags, among many other items. It can also beused to make tarpaulins.

Poly tarps are strong and durable, and most of them arewaterproof. Polyethylene tarpaulins are a good alternative totraditional canvas tarps. Poly tarps can cost as little as $6for a 6 foot by 8 foot model. Larger tarps measuring 50 feet by100 feet can cost as much as $780. Of course, there is a widerange of available sizes (and prices) in between. Poly tarpscome in a variety of colors, with black and blue being two ofthe most popular. Some of the uses for poly tarps include lawncare, covering swimming pools, and lumber tarps.

Poly tarps are lightweight compared to canvas, and are often putto use in landscaping since they will not crush grass or plantsunderneath them. They are often used to cover sports fields inbetween games to keep the field safe from rain and wind.

Poly tarps are also good for covering during thecold months. Poly tarps can easily be secured

around swimmingpools, and keep rain, twigs, leaves, and other debris out of thepool.

Lumber tarps are often made of strong polyethylene. Strong polytarps are great for securing lumber because they protect thewood from the elements and are also strong enough to contain thewood and keep it from falling out of the trailer.

Poly tarpaulins are a good alternative to canvas or mesh tarps.They can be more expensive, but their strength, durability andversatility are worth the investment.
