tarps such as trapezoids, boxes, cylinders, triangles, and other custom shapes.
What size tolerance should I expect on custom tarps?
All custom tarps and covers are
made to finish size and require a tolerance of up to ±2″.
Will my tarp shrink or expand during use?
It certainly is possible for tarps to shrink or expand depending on weather conditions and temperature.
Can I get reinforcement on the edges of my custom tarp?
Yes. All custom tarps include heat-welded or sewn hems for reinforcement.
Additional options—such as webbing, reinforced corners, or custom grommet spacing—can be added upon request.
What ishigh-density polyethylene (HDPE)?
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a durable, lightweight plastic used in our custom mesh tarps. It'sUV-stabilized, weather-resistant, and breathable, making it ideal forapplications like shade, privacy screens, truck covers, and agricultural use.Known for its high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is commonly used whereairflow and outdoor durability are needed.
Are your tarpsresistant to UV, mildew, or grease?
That depends on the material:
- Custom vinyl tarps are UV-resistant, mildew-resistant, and
also resistant to oil, grease, and chemicals. - Custom mesh tarps (HDPE plastic
tarps) are UV- and
mildew-resistant, but not intended for chemical or grease exposure. - Custom canvas tarps are untreated and do not offer resistance to UV, mildew, or grease.
Let us know your intended use, and we’ll help recommend the right material for your application.
How durable are your custom-made tarps?
Our tarps are built with industrial-grade materials chosen for long-term
durability:
- Vinyl: Heavy-duty and waterproof, ideal for harsh outdoor use
- HDPE mesh: UV-stabilized, tear-resistant, breathable
- Canvas: Durable for indoor use, absorbent, and reusable
Each tarp’s longevity depends on use, environment, and proper care.
