Pre-Purchase Factors

When purchasing different types of tarpaulin for your unique needs, it is imperative to choose the right size, grade and type depending on the environment you are utilising it in and what you need to protect or cover from the elements.   When it comes to choosing the right size, one needs to really consider different factors including the nuances of the dimensional aspects.  As tarpaulins are two-dimensional in nature, (length x width), you will need to factor in additional product specifications if you are using a tarp to cover a three-dimensional object, which means all dimensions must be measured and totalled to determine the size of tarp you need.  It is also important to note that the sizes stated refers to the cut size of the sheet, which is the industry-standard terminology to indicate the size of the fabric before it is seamed, hemmed, and eyeleted.  This ultimately means that finished sizes of a tarpaulin can be up to 30cms shorter and could lead to a shortfall if not measured with this in mind.   To choose a size that works for you, you take the measurements yourself, then speak to us before you buy.  We will be happy to suggest a size and type of product that will suit.
