Exceptionally Strong, Lightweight and Reliable Heavy Duty Tarps with Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets. 100 % Waterproof and 3 Year UV Guarantee.
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. This specialized Swiss-patented film ensures exceptional strength, durability, and reliability. Our unique manufacturing process sets our tarps apart from anything else in the industry. You can learn more about the XF Film and our production process here.
UV Resistant - 3 Year Guarantee
ARK 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 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 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.
THE ARK DIFFERENCE
| ARK TARP - XF FILM | OTHER WOVEN TARPS | |
| UV resistance | UV inhibitors are incorporated in the raw material blend - 3 Year UV Guarentee | UV inhibitors are added as a thin coating |
| Waterproofness | Raw material is inherently waterproof throughout | Water resistance layer is added as a thin coating |
| Longevity | Long life as tarp is 100% waterproof and UV resistant through the entire thickness of the product | Thin coatings crack and peel off causing early failure |
| Strength | Layers are laminated in opposing directions creating greater cross directional strength | Layers are woven in one direction which is inherently weaker |
| Eyelets | Ultrasonically welded on a sleeve of thick plastic, making them part of the tarp material | Rivetted on the tarp making them more vulnerable as they punch through the tarp material causing potential tear points. |

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.

Excellent product and service
Seems light but will know how good after the 3 year warranty
Bought a few products from you guys and love each of them for their uses. Highly Recommend your products to anyone wanting great products.
Product seems to be good quality and well made time will tell . Prompt delivery and you can contact them by phone as I did and found there staff to be friendly and helpful
Purchased two of these last year. They are used to cover stable and farm bio waste They are moved regularly with out tenderness. I found them robust and when they do get a hole that hole does not fray or grow bigger ~ The first two are going great ~ so I bought another one. The telephone service was polite and informative and helped me select the best product for the purpose. I’m a happy customer and do recommend this copany and these particular tarps.
Does the job perfectly
