Medium Weight Tarpaulins

Medium Weight Tarps are a form of sheeting with eyelets. They are useful for covering, transport, creating shelter, as a waterproof cover and much more. Medium Weight Tarpaulins are usually made from either plastic or of heavy duty fabric such as a densely woven cotton.
Tarps a created by taking a sheet of material and hemming it; done by either stitching or heat sealing. Once the sheeting has been hemmed then eyelets are added, usually made of brass or nickel. The eyelets mean that the sheet can be hung and fixed to frames, roofs and as a cover. Bungee and other fixings can be used to secure the tarpaulin and help secure it for bad weather and high winds. Elastic cord is ideal because it takes stress away from eyelets.
When choosing a tarpaulin the higher the weight the better. The higher the GSM the better the quality and weave of the sheeting used. This is a standard measurement across every type of material such as canvas, polyethylene, fabric and PVC and can be used as a yard stick when comparing them. 





Medium Weight Tarpaulin is more suitable for outside use. Maintenance is something that needs to be taken into account. Materials like canvas will come waxed and will need to be periodically re-treated. If subjected to poor weather conditions then it will need to be treated more often. The sheets made out of plastics will not need this treatment, but often people find them aesthetically inferior.
UV treatment and waterproofing is essential for use outdoors. Any quality product will include these but it is worth checking.
Another thing to take into account is 'cut size' and finished size'. Most tarps will be advertised in the 'cut size' which is the dimensions of the material before it is hemmed. Because a lot of the work is done by hand, each specific tarp will come out with a slightly different 'finished size'. These dimensions can end up being a fair bit smaller than the advertised
