uv treated tarp

Common materials include coated polyester (double-coated and PVC-coated polyester), 100% double-fill cotton canvas (loomstate), and laminated polyethylene.

Listings show a range of weights and thicknesses, such as 160 g double-coated polyester, 18 mil PVC-coated polyester, 18 oz canvas, and laminated polyethylene up to about 10 mm thick.

Some tarps give specific water-resistance or hydrostatic ratings (for example, 600 mm or 800+ mm), while others are labeled more generally as 'waterproof' or 'water-repellent' depending on the material and coating.

Edges commonly feature reinforced or rope hems with reinforced corners. Grommets are often described as rust-resistant or rust-proof and are typically spaced roughly every 2–3 feet for secure tie-downs.

Listings describe these tarps as heavy-duty, tear- and abrasion-resistant, waterproof, and designed to withstand harsh weather and abrasion.
