Custom Tarps

We can help create a custom tarp any project – from covering industrial commodities including salt and sugar beets, to custom pond liners that utilize a tarp to hold water. Learn more about our customer tarp solutions, view project galleries, and browser our frequently asked questions below.

Custom Tarps made in the USA

Custom tarps can be used for several projects

Tarp Features

Our go-to cover for most industrial applications is an 8 mil string reinforced polyethylene. String reinforced tarps will better withstand the elements than a woven coated tarp (see the FAQ section below for a video strength demonstration). We stock other sizes and styles and will work with you to design the perfect cover to protect your commodity. We have you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What's the benefit of String Reinforced tarps vs Woven Coated tarps?

    In the video below, we've sewn a piece of 12 mil woven coated to a piece of 8 mil string reinforced. The composite piece is attached to a 2" square tubing on each side so we can pull it apart simultaneously. Telehandlers are attached to the tubing and will pull to failure. This demonstrates what we witness in the field with the "zippering" effect that most are familiar with.

  • What is the best tarp for my industrial commodity pile?

    In general, the industry seems to be using more and more string reinforced polyethylene. Woven coated polyethylene has a spec sheet that has typically higher values but is prone to "zippering" if subjected to stress.

    There are many thicknesses available for both products. Generally the 8 mil string is the standard. Some use thinner and some use thicker. The standard for woven coated seems to be 12 or 14 mil. This weighs approximately the same per square foot as the 8 mil string. Again, some use thinner and some use thicker.

  • Should I put straps over my tarp?

    It depends on the objective. Generally the straps are added to add a little safety if the power goes out. In this case, it may buy some time if the electricity is not off too long or the wind isn’t too strong. Many times the straps fluttering on top of the tarp wears holes in the tarp and would make the tarp more susceptible to ripping. For this reason, some are having the
    straps built into the tarp. In general we feel a generator and transfer switch would be a better investment.

    If it is impossible to run fans on your pile, ballast of some kind is required. When ballast is used on large piles, straps are used to hold the weight on the slope of the pile.

  • What are string-reinforced tarps?

    String-reinforced tarps are made with a diamond-pattern layer of string between two layers of polyethylene material. This reinforced construction adds strength, durability, and flexibility, helping the tarp resist tearing and withstand demanding applications.

  • What sizes of tarps do you offer?

    We offer custom-built tarps designed to fit your specific application. Our tarps can be manufactured for rectangular, oval, horseshoe, or circular piles, giving you virtually unlimited sizing options to meet your coverage needs.

  • Can you create a custom tarp for my specific application?

    Yes. We create custom tarp solutions designed to meet your specific application, including your size, shape, and coverage requirements. Our team can help you find the right tarp design for your operation.

  • How long do your tarps typically last?

    Our tarps are designed for temporary storage applications and typically provide reliable protection for a single season in grain applications. Many customers use them for 1–2 years, depending on the application and conditions. For customers needing a longer-term solution, our team can help develop the right tarp option for their needs.

  • What materials are your tarps made from?

    Our tarps are made from durable polyethylene materials designed to provide strength, flexibility, and reliable protection for a variety of applications.
