wood rack tarp

These tarps are made from a few common materials: PVC-coated polyester, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), generic plastic, and polyethylene.

Available sizes include examples such as 5 ft x 8 ft, 6 ft x 8 ft, 8 ft x 10 ft, 8 ft x 16 ft, 10 ft x 12 ft, 12 ft x 16 ft, and 20 ft x 40 ft.

Listings mention rustproof or rust-resistant grommets (brass or aluminum), metal or metal-reinforced grommets, reinforced edges and hems, rope-reinforced hems, and heavy-duty corner plates on some clear vinyl options.

Specified ranges in the listings include: one clear vinyl noting integrity from −14°F to 122°F, another transparent vinyl listing flexibility down to −32°F, and some polyethylene tarps described as having arctic or cold-weather flexibility (no single numeric range given).

Seam and hem construction described includes strong double-thick seams, heat-sealed seams, reinforced hems, integrated poly rope, and rope-reinforced hems to reduce tearing and moisture penetration.

Some tarps list grommets every 2 feet, others approximately every 3 feet. Listings also note that finished sizes are typically about six inches shorter on each side than the cut size to allow for hems.
