About Tarps
Tarps, also referred to as tarpaulins, are temporary covers usually made from nylon or polyurethane. Tarps have a wide variety of uses, and while they're most commonly used for covering pools, boats, and automobiles, a sturdy tarp comes in handy in many situations. A tarp can be fashioned into a tent or lean-to for shelter, it can be used to cover a damaged roof to prevent water damage, or it can even be laid down to kill grass or weeds.
When in doubt, look for the right tarp for the job!
Tarps are typically referred to by the material from which they're constructed. However, there are a number of special purpose tarps available, which are designed to address a range of specific tasks.
For example, the tarp you use to protect your RV from the elements may not be strong enough to hold lumber on a semi truck; and the tarp you use to cover a baseball field may not do a good job at keeping chemical spills out of sewer drains. Specialty tarps exist for this reason, so don't think for a moment that "all tarps are equal."
