270gsm Extra Heavy Duty Tarpaulin – Waterproof Ground Sheet Cover Black/Gold
Our 270gsm extra heavy duty tarpaulin is designed for the toughest outdoor applications where a standard tarp simply won't hold up. Built from premium virgin polyethylene at 270gsm, this is a professional-grade waterproof ground sheet cover trusted by UK construction companies, agricultural businesses, and industrial operators who demand maximum durability.
270gsm — True Extra Heavy Duty Protection
At 270gsm, this tarpaulin is more than double the weight of standard 110-130gsm general purpose covers. The dense woven structure provides exceptional puncture resistance, while the thick dual-laminated coating ensures complete waterproofing even under heavy loads, pooling water, and sustained outdoor exposure. This is not a seasonal garden tarp — it's a permanent-use professional cover.

When to Choose 270gsm Over 200gsm or 350gsm
200gsm suits most standard outdoor applications. 270gsm is the step up for situations where the tarp will be dragged across rough surfaces, weighted down with heavy materials, or left in place year-round. Our 350gsm super heavy duty tarpaulin provides the absolute maximum protection for the most extreme industrial applications. For 90% of demanding professional uses, 270gsm is the right choice.
