Tarpaulin made from PE, generally known as “Polytarp”, is a large sheet of strong, flexible, water-resistant or waterproof material, made of plastics such as polyethylene or Polypropylene. Inexpensive modern tarpaulins are made from woven fabric of High Density Polyethylene and then coated with Low Density Polyethylene on single or both side to make it water-resistance or waterproof.

Tarpaulins often have reinforced grommets/Eyelets at the corners, D-Rings or O-Rings along the sides to form attachment points for rope, allowing them to be tied down or suspended. Polyethylene tarpaulins have proven to be a popular source to procure an inexpensive, water resistant fabric.

Tarpaulins provide a covering/shelter from natural elements i.e. Rain, Sunlight and Winds and have multiple uses depending on the application ranging from being used as Ground sheet, Pool Cover, Awning, Projector Screen, Parties, Outdoor Events, Roof Cover, Outdoor Storage, Warehouse Partition, Machinery Cover, Pool Cover, Tent Cover, Timber Cover, Warehouse Partition, General Cover, Ground Cover, Rail Wagon Cover, Truck Cover and Equipment Cover.
