18oz Heavyweight Waxed Canvas Tarpaulin – Natural Breathable Protection
Our 18oz waxed cotton canvas tarpaulin is the premium, eco-friendly alternative to plastic tarps. Handcrafted from natural cotton duck canvas with a traditional wax treatment, this tarp offers breathable, waterproof protection that gets better with age. Ideal for farmers, campers, craftspeople and anyone who demands quality that lasts decades, not seasons.
Why Choose Waxed Canvas Over PVC or PE?
- Breathable Waterproofing: Unlike plastic tarps, waxed canvas allows moisture to breathe out while keeping rain from getting in – preventing condensation and mould under cover.
- 18oz Heavy Weight: At 18 ounces per square yard, this is one of the heaviest canvas tarps available – extremely tough and long-lasting.
- Eco-Friendly Natural Material: Made from 100% natural cotton – biodegradable, sustainable and PVC-free. A responsible choice for the environment.
- Self-Healing Wax Coating: The wax treatment re-seals itself when worked in by hand – minor scuffs and abrasions don't compromise the waterproofing.
- Reinforced Edges & Brass Eyelets: Strong hemmed edges with traditional brass eyelets for secure tie-down without rust or staining.
- Multiple Sizes Available: From small workshop covers to large agricultural sheets – choose the size for your needs.
Ideal Applications
This waxed canvas tarpaulin excels at: protecting agricultural machinery & haystacks, camping & bushcraft shelters, vehicle & classic car covers, log & firewood storage, garden furniture covers, market stall canopies, military & heritage use, photography backdrops, allotment & greenhouse covers.
