Benefits Of ARK Heavy Duty Tarps
Exceptionally Strong, Lightweight and Reliable Heavy Duty Tarps with Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets. 100 % Waterproof and 3 Year UV Guarantee.
Our XF Film technology offers the perfect balance of durability, weather resistance, and ease of use, outperforming standard polyethylene, PVC, and canvas tarps in key areas while maintaining a competitive price point
100% Waterproof
Our 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 Heavy Duty Tarps are made from XF Film, featuring a specialised Swiss-patented technology that unites exceptional durability with lightweight handling and superior waterproofing properties. This unique innovation sets our tarps apart from anything else in the industry.
UV Resistant - 3 Year Guarantee
ARK Heavy Duty Tarps offer excellent UV resistance with UV inhibitors incorporated directly into the raw material itself, not just applied as a surface coating. Designed for extended outdoor use, they will not peel, crack, or disintegrate under harsh sunlight, making them ideal for Australia's extreme weather conditions. This integrated protection comes with a 3-year UV guarantee.
Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets
The eyelets on the 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 standard poly tarps that rely on single materials or simple coatings and are typically woven in a single direction, our multi-directional lamination process creates superior strength and better field performance while maintaining lightweight handling. ARK 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.

Tips & Tricks
When using the tarp as a suspended cover 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. In doing so 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. Once the tarp has been set up, you can pour some water over it to ensure that there is enough slope provided for the water to run off
Note – We recommend our stronger grade tarps with stronger eyelets where the tarp is to be used as a suspended roof shelter or where strong pressure will be applied to the corners and side eyelets. The tarpaulin should be roped over to avoid the “parachute effect”. The performance of each tarp varies in accordance with the use and type of install.
