Tarps come in many shapes and forms. They can be used for anything from roof repairs to covering up lumber and even for cargo protection. If you want to choose a tarp for your project or house roof then it is vital that you choose one that is suitable for the application. Tarps aren’t just measured by height and width. They are measured by the weight of the fabric in each square yard as well. This gives the user a rough idea of what type of fabric they are dealing with, as well as stating how heavy the material is. Most tarps are made to be rain, flame, water and mold resistant. Some tarps are even made with rust resistant grommets, double stitches, and heat sealed for more strenuous applications.
Roof Repairs
Hurricanes can often blow the shingles off of a rooftop, and they can cause damage to the rainproof layer which protects the inside of the home. If your roof has experienced damage from either a hurricane or other related harsh weather condition, then you need to fix the problem immediately. This will stop rain leaking into your home while you wait for repairs, as well as covering up other potentially damaged areas. When choosing your roof tarps, you should make sure that you choose a tarp which is brown, silver or green. This type of tarp is best suited for roof repairs, and tarps are often color coded to state their usage. For example, blue tarps are often hurricane proof and brightly colored tarps are for domestic use.
Project Site Covers
Many people use silver tarps to cover their construction site projects when they are not working. Silver tarps are often used for this type of application, as they are very heavy duty. They are rip resistant, and they have a high tensile strength when it comes to tightening them up and weighing them down. Silver project tarps often have 7 ounces of fabric per square yard, making them ideal when it comes to rain resistance. They are also acid and rot resistant, which is why many people use them to cover trailers and RV’s. Whatever tarp you choose, you should make sure it is extra thick with heat sealed edges if you plan on using it for heavy commercial purposes.
