PVC Tarps

We supply any tarp, big or small. Black or white, or any colour of your choice in between.

We can reproduce any shape or style you may be interested in, the best quality advanced materials at the cheapest prices. All our tarps and accessories are marketed and sold direct to the public.

You name it, we make it.

Marquee PVC Tarps

We specialise in the design, engineering, patterning, manufacture and erection of any shape or size marquee.

Material grades are many and depend on the client's requirements: Local grade (no guarantee) Stretch fabric (2 year guarantee) Architectural grade (5 year to 30 year guarantee)

Bakkie PVC Tarps

Bakkie tarps are either made to the client's specifications, or by measuring the bakkie at our factory. Eyelets are placed in specific positions so the the lacing rope feeds through them and over the hooks on the side of the loadbox. Typically, medium weight (550GSM), or heavy duty (700GSM) PVC is used, but others can be specified. The PVC is UV stabilised and can be fire-retardent if requested. Many colours are available. Printing (including digital logos) is possible.

Tautliner Curtain Sider PVC Tarp

Tautliner Truck Trailer PVC Tarps are either made to the client's specifications, or by measuring the trailer at our factory. Typically, medium weight (550GSM), or heavy duty (700GSM) PVC is used, but others can be specified. The PVC is UV stabilised and can be fire-retardent if requested. Many colours are available.

Printing (including digital logos) is possible.

Box Covers PVC Tarp

Box covers are crafted to the clients requirements or specifications. Perfect examples are from small covers for outdoor furniture or braais to large items like trucks and container covers. The advantage of box tarps is they are easy to fit and remove, can be re-used many times and fold away into a neat small package to be kept out of the way. The PVC material is very hardy and has a poyester base cloth to give it high tensile strength and tear resistance. The PVC is UV stabilised and fully weather proof, keeping whatever you cover dry and protected from the elements. Often the item to be covered is left at our premises for measuring and to ensure perfect fitment. This is not necessary – if the client gives accurate dimensions and ensures a “fitment allowance” – by slightly oversizing the dimensions.

Any grade PVC can be used, from light duty (400GSM) to extra heavy duty (800GSM). Many colours are available. Hemmed edges with stainless steel eyelets are another option to tether the cover - we can supply ropes or bungie cords, etc. Printing (including digital logos) is possible.

Mine Tarps

Our PVC tarps are extensively used in the mining industry. Normally we recommend 700GSM heavy duty PVC, this is robust and long lasting.

All our PVC is UV stablised. The PVC is not flammable so inherently fire retardant but extra fire retardant treatment can be specified on request. Very large tarps can be manufacture (up to and over 1000m2). Tarps can also be joined with weather-proof systems to cover ANY size area. PVC is resistant to a wide array of chemicals including many acids. Please enquire about your application to confirm the resistance to the chemicals.

Agricultural Tarps

Our PVC tarps are extensively used in the agriculture industry. Normally we recommend 600GSM lce Blue PVC, which is specifically formulated for covering grain. This product is used in Australia and Canada and was developed along with farmers over a 15 year period. Some farmers are uninformed and they just use a standard tarp PVC to cover their grain. This could cost them large amount of grain due to contamination, mould and the sun baking the top 100mm layer into a thick crust.

This product is specially formulated with food grade ingredients to ensure no unhealthy chemicals migrate to your crops. The base cloth is specially treated with anti-fungal and antibacterial properties to ensure that it does not mould or rot in any way. The UV stabilizer is specially formulated to keep your crops at the desired temperature avoiding the top layer baking into a thick crust.

The actual colour is not one made by pigment alone, but is a result of the formulation changing the product into this “Ice Blue" colour. There are products on the market that replicates the same colour but in properties is only a normal PVC product thus risking the quality and quantity of your hard earned grain. This is sold as a grain cover product but it delivers poor results and spoils the crops.

Truck Trailer Tarps

Our PVC tarps are extensively used in the transport industry. Normally we recommend 700GSM heavy duty PVC, this is robust and long lasting.

Tarp sizes depend on the size of your truck/trailer and on what you are loading. Normally, we allow a minimum of 3m up and 3m down to allow of a 3m high load. So a flatbed trailer 12m long by 2,4m wide would take a 9m wide by 18m long tarp. A superlink would normally take a 9X12 and 9X18 tarp. We offer block letter printing and digital logo printing so that you can brand your tarps. Don‘t forget accessories for your loading requirements.

We supply the following accessories as well to go with your tarps:

Corner plates Ratchet straps Chains Grab Hooks Loadbinders

Please note that tarps have nominal sizes. This means that the join welds and hemmed edges reduce the size slightly.

For example, a 6m X 6m tarpaulin may have an ending size of 5,86m X 5,90m. This is due to the fact that the rolls come in nominal widths (1,5m; 2,0m; 2,5m; 3,0m).

Exact sizes must be specified if required, a premium will apply.

Our PVC is the highest grade locally available polyester base cloth PVC coated material. The polyester base cloth is what gives the PVC it’s tensile and tear strength. This is 1600N/5cm tensile; and 350N/5cm tear strength – based on 700GSM heavy duty PVC.

The PVC thickness is what gives the PVC its weather resistance and weld adhesion strength. This is 80N/5cm – based on 700GSM heavy duty PVC. The above mechanical properties are based on international testing standards. All our PVC is also UV stabilised. Some of the higher grades are fire-retardant. We join the PVC by a method of High Frequency Heating. Also called welding. It is a process that uses microwaves to heat the molecules evenly, in order to fuse the PVC together. This means that we don’t normally use stitching, therefore the tarpaulins are fully waterproof. This is the industry standard. Many colours are available. Printing (including digital logos) is possible.

Amongst many other things, tarpaulins are very useful for the following:

Covering loads i.e. truck / bakkie tarps. Truck trailer tarps. Outdoor furniture cover - to protect from water and/or dust. Cricket pitch covers. Pool covers. General purpose covers. Camping tarps.
