Benefits of Our Industrial Strength Tarps
Engineered with uncompromising strength for industrial demands, our Industrial Strength Tarps unite rugged durability with practical lightweight handling. Every tarp features precision ultrasonic welded eyelets and delivers 100% waterproof protection, backed by a 3-Year UV Guarantee for Australia’s toughest industrial environments.
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.
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”.
