Engineered for Australia’s harshest conditions, ARK Heavy Duty Tarps deliver the perfect balance of strength, durability and lightweight handling. Made from Swiss‑patented 120 GSM XF Film, these tarps outperform traditional poly tarps with superior waterproofing, UV resistance and multi‑directional lamination that boosts cross‑directional strength. Every tarp is built from raw materials that are waterproof at their core — not coated — ensuring long‑lasting protection that won’t peel, crack or break down over time.
Designed for versatility, ARK Heavy Duty Tarps are ideal for covering equipment, vehicles, firewood, garden supplies, camping setups, renovation projects and general outdoor protection. Ultrasonically welded eyelets are integrated into a reinforced sleeve for maximum durability, allowing secure tie‑down points that hold firm in tough weather.

Whether you need reliable everyday coverage or a dependable solution for unpredictable weather, ARK Heavy Duty Tarps offer premium performance at a competitive price — built to last, built to protect, and built for Australia.

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.
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.
Our Heavy Duty Tarps are made from 120 GSM 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.
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.
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.
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.
