Our heavy-duty tarps can be used for a wide range of applications, from large-scale industry projects to small-scale projects. Below are some common applications by industry.

Ready to get started? Below we walk you through the process of ordering a custom tarp with Westarp.

Step 1. Select your tarp type and size

We can manufacture custom tarpaulins to virtually any size and shape. Shapes can be 2D or 3D, depending on the surface you want to cover. Our standard shapes include rectangle, square, and box. Please provide us the dimensions of the tarpaulin, such as length, width, and height (if appropriate).

If you require something beyond the standard sizes and shapes, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We work closely with our customers to ensure the best possible solution for their individual requirements. We have made heavy-duty custom tarps to suit a wide range of niche applications.

Step 2. Upload any photos or drawings to help demonstrate what you need

If you have any visual materials which can help demonstrate the shape and specific application of your custom tarp, please provide these when you send your enquiry. Photos and drawings can help speed up the communication process and ensure we understand your needs.

Step 3. Choose your fabric type and colour

We offer three high-quality, heavy-duty fabrics which are suitable for a range of applications across the mining, agriculture, transport, and construction industries. These fabrics are robust, durable, and made to industry standards.

Linear 400

Linear 400 is a high-quality polypropylene poly fabric that is designed for heavy-duty applications in the industrial and agricultural industries. It is coated twice on both sides and is made with a Tear Stop weave pattern to improve its resistance to tearing.

Flexile FR

Flexile FR is a premium quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabric which can be used for a range of applications such as construction screens, grain covers, machinery covers, shed dividers and more. Flexile FR is coated with a gloss acrylic lacquer which helps provide protection from UV rays and resistance to fire.

Armour-X 900

Armour-X 900 is a high-quality 900gsm PVC coated polyester with a gloss acrylic lacquer on both sides. It is suitable for a range of extra heavy-duty applications including truck roll tarps and truck side curtains.

Step 4. Choose your hem and reinforcement type

Our custom tarpaulins can be made with a rope edge hem or a double thickness welded hem. We offer two standard options for securing your tarp: eyelets and D rings.

Eyelets are circular stainless steel rings that are punched into the hem of the tarp. D-rings are metal rings that are shaped like the letter “D”. A thick band of fabric is looped through the D-rings and then the ends of the band are sewn into the hem of the tarp.

Both options are highly durable when done properly, however, eyelets have the advantage of not relying on stitching to be secured in place. Exposure to UV rays and the constant pull on the stitching for D-rings may weaken them over time.

At Westarp, we ensure both eyelets and D-rings are secured for maximum durability and performance in heavy-duty applications. If you are unsure which option is better for your application, please speak with one of our tarpaulin specialists.

Step 5. Tell us any extra details

Before you send off your request, please provide any extra details which will help us understand what you want the product to achieve. We can provide our heavy-duty tarps with or without ropes and we can include welded pockets for pipe and strap tie-down if required. Accessories such as zips, velcro, windows, and document pockets can all be supplied when requested.
