PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ARK Boat Covers – Built for Strength, Weather Protection & Long‑Term Performance

Protect your boat with a cover engineered to outperform standard poly tarps in every way. ARK Boat Covers are made from our Swiss‑patented
XF Film, a high‑strength, cross‑laminated material designed to withstand Australia’s harshest conditions. Whether your boat is stored outdoors,
in a carport, or on the move, these covers deliver reliable, long‑lasting protection you can trust.

Every layer of the tarp is 100% waterproof, ensuring your boat stays dry even during heavy rain. The material is fully UV‑stabilised and backed by a
3‑year UV guarantee, meaning it won’t crack, peel, or break down under intense sunlight. Ultrasonically welded eyelets provide secure tie‑down points
that won’t tear out, while the multi‑directional lamination gives the tarp exceptional strength and resistance to stretching or ripping.

From durability to weather resistance to ease of use, ARK Boat Covers are built to last — season after season.

Tips & Tricks

When using the tarp to cover your boat we highly recommend that you do the following:

  • Ensure that all the eyelets are secured to distribute the load on the tarp evenly.
  • Rope is applied across the top of the tarp to prevent the tarp from becoming a parachute against the wind.
    Tie a rope to every eyelet, passing it over the tarpaulin to the opposite eyelet, tying the rope slightly shorter
    than the tarpaulin at that eyelet.
  • Allow for water to run off from the tarp and not pool in the middle. The water will not cause any leaks,
    but the pooling will add extra weight and strain to the eyelets.

FEATURES

FEATURES

100% Waterproof

Our Boat Covers are born waterproof. The raw materials used in their production are waterproof, ensuring that each layer of our tarps provides complete waterproof protection. Unlike other tarps, which often have only a thin, water‑resistant coating applied after manufacturing, our tarps offer full waterproofing throughout.

XF Film – Swiss Patented Film

Our Boat Covers are made from 150 GSM XF Film. This specialised Swiss‑patented film ensures exceptional strength, durability, and reliability. Our unique manufacturing process sets our tarps apart from anything else in the industry.

UV Resistant – 3 Year Guarantee

ARK Boat Covers offer excellent UV resistance and come with a 3‑year UV guarantee. Designed for extended outdoor use, they will not peel, crack, or disintegrate under harsh sunlight, making them ideal for Australia’s extreme weather conditions.

Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets

The eyelets on the Boat Covers are ultrasonically welded onto a sleeve of thick plastic, integrating them into the tarp material for added strength.

Strong & Reliable

During our manufacturing process, the layers of raw material are laminated in opposing directions, creating greater cross‑directional strength. Unlike normal poly tarps that are typically woven in a single direction, ARK Boat Covers offer superior strength and better field performance.

Backed By Australian Lab Tests

All our tarps have been tested to meet various Australian standards
