Types of Lumber Tarps
 

Heavy Duty Tarps​
Heavy Duty wood tarps are ideal for long storage and transportation of heavy quantities of timber. They are made from heavy, robust material that provides maximum protection against extreme weather conditions. They are also able to withstand the friction of sharp edges of timber without being punctured, making them ideal for transporting rough cut or unprocessed timber.

 

Lightweight Tarps​
Lightweight wood tarps are a more functional option for transient application or covering of minor loads. They are easier to handle and install, conserving time and effort in its placement. Although lighter, these tarps still successfully protect from rain, light snowfall, and sunlight. Lightweight tarps are generally favored by small lumber yards or DIY enthusiasts who need to temporarily cover small amounts of wood for scenarios such as weekend woodworking projects.

 

Breathable Tarps​
Breathable wood tarps are made with the purpose of preventing water from collecting below the cover. Wood releases moisture when it changes temperature, and when moisture collects, mildew and mold will develop. Breathable tarps allow air to pass through, which leaves the likelihood of condensation lower.

Steps For Proper Lumber Tarps Installation

 
 

Positioning the Tarp: Deploy a tarp over the cargo in such a way that it is centered and covers the whole load. The sides of the tarp should hang down beyond either side of trailer so that they can be fastened securely.

 
 

Securing the Edge: You should use edge protectors where sharp corners or edges may cut into your cover material. Attach bungee cords or rope through grommets along one edge of a tarp and then wrap it around any part of a vehicle near an anchor point before attaching another end to the corresponding place, like the trailer’s bottom rail.

 
 

Tensioning: Tighten all straps and cords uniformly until no flapping is detected. Check for loose or flapping areas after even tightening.

Application Scenarios of Lumber Tarps

Logging Operations​

At the logging site, wood tarps are used to cover felled trees before they are shipped to the mill. This protects the logs from rain and snow, which would cause them to absorb too much moisture and be heavy, as well as cause problems during the process. The tarps also protect the logs from debris and dirt, leaving them clean and easy to process.​

During Transportation​

When transporting lumber by truck, train or ship, lumber tarps are needed to cover the lumber from the elements. A secure tarp will ensure that the shipment is in good shape across great distances and in any weather. For example, on a truck haul across the country, a lumber tarp will keep the lumber dry and covered from the elements so it reaches the customer in good condition.

Storage​

In warehouses and lumber yards, tarps cover the stacked lumber that is stored. This is particularly necessary in outdoor storage areas where the lumber is exposed for extended time to rain, snow. Application of a lumber tarp lessens the chances of rain and snow and sun damage by a considerable margin, so that the lumber remains in good shape when sold or put into use.​

Lumber Tarp Care and Maintenance​

Maintenance will keep your lumber tarp in good condition and functional for an extended time. Tarps need to be washed after each application to remove dirt, dust, and any chemicals that they may have exposed themselves to. They need to be fully dried before storing them to prevent mold and mildew development. If there is any tear or hole, they need to be mended immediately with a tarp repair kit. Grommets also need to be inspected from time to time to ensure they remain secure and functional.​

 

FAQ

 

Q: What's the difference between a lumber tarp and a steel tarp?

A: Steel Tarps are made from only Vinyl, and Lumber Tarps are made from combination of two materials which we call those Parachute Material on the side which is very light, and also Vinyl material on the top.

Q: What are lumber tarps used for?

Q: Are lumber tarps waterproof?

A: Most of these tarps are Heavy Duty and are made from durable, heavy-duty black vinyl coated PVC material that is 20 Mil thick, weighs 18 oz. per square yard, and has a cold crack rating of -40C, making them waterproof, as well as rot, UV and oil resistant. We use #4 Brass grommets and 2” Stainless Steel D-rings.

Q: How long are lumber tarps?

A: 4 Ft Drop: We also provide 4 ft drop lumber tarps for lighter-duty hauling, especially for materials like steel. These tarps range from 16x18 ft to 24x27 ft and feature a 4'x8' tail and 8' rain flaps.

Q: How to fasten a tarp to wood?

A: Eye Lag Screws
One of the simplest ways to keep a tarp in place. The eye lag screw screws into your structure through the grommet and then you put a small piece of material through the opening of the lag screw so the tarp can blow off. Available from local hardware stores and many online stores.

Q: What is known as lumber tarps?

A: Lumber Tarps are flatbed tarps specifically built with 6 or 8 foot drops and a tail to protect cargo loads from harsh environmental conditions on the road. We offer 6 and 8 foot drop tarps in standard, lightweight, and three-piece models using 14 oz. and 18 oz. vinyl.
