Tips for Choosing the Best Tarpaulin Size

1. Measure the Area: Before selecting a tarpaulin, accurately measure the area or items you need to cover. Ensure to add a few extra feet on each side to allow for adequate coverage and the ability to secure the tarpaulin properly.
2. Consider Overlap and Secure Fit: It’s generally recommended to have an overlap if you are covering objects with varying heights or if you need to attach the tarpaulin to something. This helps in providing extra protection and keeping the tarp secure.
3. Think about Handling and Storage: Larger tarpaulins can be bulky and heavy, making them difficult to handle and store. Consider how you will manage the tarpaulin when not in use.
4. Future Proofing: If you anticipate needing the tarpaulin for various other uses, opting for a slightly larger size than currently necessary might provide more versatility in the future.

Common Uses for Specific Sizes

• 15×12 ft and 18×12 ft: These sizes are very versatile for residential and commercial use, good for covering vehicles, as roofing tarps during construction, or as ground covers.
• 30×30 ft and 36×30 ft: Excellent for large areas needing protection from elements, suitable for large gatherings or as covers for big agricultural areas.
• 40×30 ft and 40×40 ft: Ideal for commercial and industrial applications, including as covers for large equipment or storage areas.
• 60×40 ft: The largest option, best used in situations where extensive coverage is needed, such as during large construction projects, in agriculture, or for covering big industrial machinery.
