Exceptionally Strong, Lightweight and Reliable Industrial Strength Tarps with Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets. 100 % Waterproof and 3 Year UV Guarantee.
Industry Knowledge
ARK Industrial Tarps are designed with the tradie in mind. They are lighter than vinyl and PVC tarps yet stronger than conventional poly tarps. This lightweight design makes them easy to handle and use, while their strength ensures toughness and puncture resistance, making ARK Tarps the ideal choice for construction & industrial applications.
Large Sizes In Stock
ARK Industrial Tarps come in a variety of sizes, with large sizes available as a single piece. This design eliminates breaks or weak points in the tarp. We stock sizes up to 20m x 30m, ensuring a 1 business day turnaround for your applications.
100% Waterproof
ARK Industrial 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
ARK Industrial 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.
UV Resistant - 3 Year Guarantee
ARK Industrial 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.
Dual Colour
ARK Industrial Tarps are black on one side and silver on the other side. Both sides are UV protected and can be used facing the sun. Silver side reflects heat and black side absorbs heat.
Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets
The eyelets on the Roof Tarps are ultrasonically welded onto a sleeve of thick plastic, integrating them into the tarp material for added strength. Watch our eyelet strength test video here!
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 Roof 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 – The performance of each tarp varies in accordance with the use and type of install. The tarpaulin should be roped over to avoid the “parachute effect”.
