Waterproof Poly Tarps

Our waterproof poly tarps are ideal for keeping items dry in extreme weather. Featuring heat-sealed seams, they provide a completely watertight barrier for boats, furniture, woodpiles, and more.

Key Features of Our Best Poly Tarps

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Material

Constructed from premium HDPE fabric, our tarps resist tearing, stretching, and puncturing. This guarantees lasting durability, even in the harshest conditions.

Reinforced Edges & Rust-Resistant Grommets

Designed for strength, each tarp features double-stitched hems and aluminum grommets for secure tie-downs. These reinforcements prevent fraying and make it easy to secure the tarp tightly.

Multi-Layer Coating for UV & Water Resistance

A special UV-resistant coating helps prevent sun damage, while the waterproof layer ensures total moisture protection. This combination makes them perfect for year-round outdoor use.

Lightweight & Easy to Handle

Despite their durability, poly tarps remain lightweight and flexible. This makes storage and transport easy while allowing quick setup when needed.

How to Choose the Right Poly Tarp

Consider Thickness & Durability

Select the Right Size

Before purchasing, measure the area you need to cover. Choose a slightly larger tarp than your estimated size to ensure full coverage.

Waterproof vs. Water-Resistant

All of our waterproof poly tarps provide complete protection from moisture. Some lower-quality tarps are merely water-resistant, which means they can handle light rain but may eventually let water seep through.

• Blue Tarps: General-purpose, commonly used for short-term coverage
• Silver Tarps: UV-resistant, reflective surface for maximum heat protection
• Green/Brown Tarps: Blend into natural surroundings for discreet outdoor coverage
• White Tarps: Reflect sunlight while allowing soft light transmission underneath
