Frequently Asked Questions

All our clear tarps are UV-stabilised to resist yellowing and brittleness from sunlight exposure. Our lighter 100gsm and 170gsm mono covers typically remain clear for 2–4 seasons outdoors before any yellowing is noticeable. Our crystal PVC versions (0.6mm and 310gsm) are formulated for long-term clarity and can last 10+ years before any discolouration. Storing tarps out of direct sunlight when not in use will significantly extend their life.
Yes — our 100gsm and 170gsm clear mono tarpaulins are extremely popular greenhouse covers. They transmit approximately 85–90% of visible light while blocking rain, wind, and light frost. The 100gsm is ideal for seasonal greenhouse covers and cold frames; the 170gsm is better suited to permanent polytunnel and lean-to greenhouse applications. Both are available in standard greenhouse sizes and can be cut to bespoke dimensions on request.
Clear mono tarpaulins are made from woven polyethylene with a laminated clear coating — they are lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective for seasonal use. Clear PVC tarpaulins are made from rigid plasticised PVC — they are heavier, more rigid, optically clearer, and designed for permanent outdoor installations. If you need a flexible cover you can fold and store, choose mono. If you need a permanent patio or pergola enclosure with maximum clarity, choose PVC.
Yes — we can supply both mono and PVC clear tarpaulins cut to your exact dimensions. Standard stock sizes go up to 12m wide, and we can produce custom lengths for commercial polytunnels, market stall canopies, and conservatory roofing.
