Tarpaulins, more commonly known as tarps, have a wide variety of uses. Tarps are large, strong sheets of fabric that are usually waterproof or at least water resistant. Tarps are flexible and are often coated in latex or plastic to give them extra strength. Traditionally, tarps are made of canvas, but they can be made of other fabrics as well. Tarpaulins have been in use for well over a century, and they are still being updated and used in new situations.

Tarpaulins, often called tarps, are frequently used to cover and secure loads in different types of trucks. Truck tarps can make carrying loads in pickup trucks, flatbeds, dump trucks, and other types of trucks much easier. Having a truck tarp is also safer, with less likelihood of the load falling off the truck and causing problems for the driver or for other vehicles on the road.

Tarpaulins (tarps) made of canvas are some of the most versatile tarps on the market today. These tarps can be flame retardant, water resistant, and mildew resistant. Canvas tarps come in several fabric gauges, from 10-ounce to 17-ounce and up. (The higher the number, the heavier and more durable the fabric.) Prices range from around $10 for small, untreated canvas tarps, to hundreds of dollars for large waterproof and fire-retardant models. The tarps come in countless sizes and can be used for a multitude of purposes from painting to landscaping to camping.
