Lumber tarps are specialized coverings designed to protect lumber and other similar cargo during transportation and storage. Here is a detailed introduction:
Characteristics
Diverse Materials: Common materials include PVC - coated fabric and nylon. For example, the 18 - oz PVC - coated polyester is a heavy - duty option, featuring high strength, wear resistance, and excellent waterproof performance. The 14 - oz PVC - coated polyester, on the other hand, is relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
Rich Sizes: There are various standard sizes to choose from to meet different transportation and storage needs, and custom - made sizes are also available. Common sizes include 16'x28', 20'x18', 24'x28', etc. There are also different combinations of drop and flap sizes, such as 4' drop & flap, 6' drop & flap, 8' drop & flap, etc.
Practical Design: Usually, there are brass grommets and D - rings on the edges and sides. Brass grommets are generally set every 2 feet, and there are two to three rows of D - rings. This facilitates the use of ropes, straps, or elastic cords to secure the tarp to the cargo, ensuring that it will not be blown away or shifted during transportation.
Uses
Cargo Transportation: Mainly used to cover goods such as lumber, building materials, mechanical equipment, and agricultural products on flat - bed trucks during transportation. They prevent the goods from being rained on, exposed to the sun, blown away by the wind, or scratched by debris on the road.
Outdoor Storage: Can be used to cover items such as lumber, haystacks, and building materials when they are temporarily stored outdoors. They protect the items from weather factors, prolong the service life of the items, and maintain the quality and integrity of the items.
Features:
Waterproof, UV Resistance, Flame-Retardant, High Tensile And Tear Strength, Good Flexibility, Dimensional Stability, Self Cleaning, Long Life, Acrylic Lacquered, above 5 years service life.
