Product Description

Built for the demands of trade and outdoor use, the 185gsm Brown & Blue Heavy-Duty Tarpaulin from Tarpaulins UK provides dependable, long-lasting protection for construction, agriculture, transport and storage applications.

Manufactured from a high-density polyethylene core laminated on both sides, this sheet offers superior tensile strength and durability while remaining lightweight enough for quick deployment. The 12×14 weave construction prevents tearing and fraying, while the UV-stabilised coating protects against prolonged sunlight exposure and colour degradation.

Each tarp features rope-reinforced hems and triple-riveted corners to maintain structural integrity when tied down. The 12 mm aluminium eyelets, spaced approximately every 50 cm, allow for secure fastening with bungee cords, ratchet straps or rope.

The dual-colour design serves a practical purpose: the brown upper surface provides a low-visibility, professional finish for work sites or gardens, while the blue underside aids identification and positioning during installation.

Suitable for covering building materials, scaffolds, pallets, machinery, vehicles, log stores or garden furniture, this 185gsm sheet offers the ideal balance between strength, flexibility and value. For heavier, long-term applications, upgrade to our 250gsm or 350gsm ranges.

All sizes are supplied as cut sizes, meaning the finished dimensions may be slightly smaller due to hemming and reinforcement. Made from recyclable polyethylene, it’s a practical, weather-resistant and sustainable covering solution for any outdoor environment.

Tarpaulin FAQs

Q1. Is a 185gsm tarpaulin strong enough for outdoor or construction use?
Yes — 185gsm is a medium-heavy duty grade suitable for most outdoor and site applications. It’s ideal for protecting materials, machinery, or garden equipment from rain and UV exposure. For long-term or high-abrasion use, you may prefer a heavier 250gsm or 350gsm option.

Q2. How waterproof is this tarpaulin?
This tarpaulin is fully waterproof thanks to its laminated HDPE/LDPE polyethylene construction and heat-sealed seams. It prevents water penetration even during prolonged rainfall, making it suitable for use as a roof, cover sheet, or groundsheet in wet weather.

Q3. What does UV-stabilised mean, and why is it important?
UV stabilisation means the material is treated to resist damage from sunlight. This prevents cracking, fading, or brittleness, ensuring the tarpaulin maintains its flexibility and colour for extended periods outdoors.

Q4. Why might the actual size be slightly smaller than stated?
All tarpaulins are sold as cut sizes, meaning that the finished size may be up to 3% smaller once the hems and reinforced edges are added. This is standard across the industry and ensures added strength and durability along the edges.

Q5. Can I recycle this tarpaulin when it reaches the end of its life?
Yes — it’s made from recyclable polyethylene. Check with your local recycling centre to confirm they accept soft plastics or polyethylene sheets.

Q6. What are the most common uses for this tarpaulin?
Typical uses include covering scaffolding, machinery, roofing materials, vehicles, logs, and outdoor furniture. Its dual-colour design — brown for discreet coverage and blue for visibility — makes it suitable for both trade and domestic settings.
