Canvas Tarpaulin

Canvas tarpaulin is cotton, not plastic, and that changes what it is good for. Because the weave breathes, moisture underneath escapes instead of condensing on the inside of the sheet — which is why canvas is still the preferred cover for grain, machinery and anything that would sweat under polyethylene.

It also tolerates heat far better. A canvas cover can sit against a warm surface or near welding work without shrinking or melting, and a tear can be stitched and patched rather than written off.

We supply cotton tarpaulin, heavy duty cotton tarpaulin, truck covers and commercial canvas fabric, treated for water resistance and rot proofing. Sizes are made to order.
