The challenge with standard-duty no-name tarps is that they’re light, only water resistant, and, over time, photo-degradable. Add to that, they’re prone to tearing. All-in-all they work for a while but they’re frustrating. I’ve always wanted something heavier duty. Well, apparently I can now have that, not break the bank and get a giant beer bottle or cell phone along with it. Or at least a picture of one.
Recycled advertising billboard vinyls are being repurposed as tarps for builders and building material suppliers that want to cover most anything: lumber, open roofs, window openings, driveways before concrete, dirt piles, etc. In addition to being a “green” tarp alternative, they are also cheap and effective.
These waterproof vinyls are super heavy duty (20 mils thick and 13 oz/yd material) and they’re a heavier material than most any stuff you’d buy at the store. (The blue tarps at Home Depot are just 5 mils thick) And, they are about 75% less expensive than store bought tarps of similar quality!!!
Recycled Billboard Tarps can also be seamed together with a vinyl cement to create tarps of any size desire with waterproof seams. Ideal for anything from temporary jobsite structures to dividing a room, this looks like a smart, green, and durable solution to a real problem.
Prices start at $60/vinyl. Common sizes are 10’x30’, 12’x42’, 14’x48’
