FEATURES

FEATURES

100% Waterproof

Our Extra Heavy Duty Tarps 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 Extra Heavy Duty Tarps 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 Extra Heavy Duty Tarps 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 Extra Heavy Duty Tarps 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 Extra Heavy Duty Tarps offer superior strength and better field performance.

Backed by Australian Lab Tests

All our tarps have been tested to meet various Australian standards. When we say our covers are tried and tested, we mean it. We control the entire production process from start to finish, ensuring all quality and compliance checks are met before the product reaches your hands.
