Light Weight Tarps

There has been light weight tarps around for some time that are as strong as 18 oz. check myteeproducts.com

I've used them and it's a bit different material, sort of stiffer, a bit different folding and rolling. But yeah, it's about the same as 18 oz as far as resisting tears. Might be worth the weight savings for lumber tarps if you use them a lot. I really don't mind the extra 20 lbs or whatever for a steel tarp. I like the way the 18 oz. rolls up better.

Here's a thread from a few days ago.

 

mytee is a, ya get what ya pay for store, I ordered a cheap coil bag tarp & got a a cheap coil bag tarp.

 

I know drivers who buy from tarp city, I think is the name in Granite city il. I drive with these drivers, they are real good material, not sure on price. I know this question was answered some time back in the flatbed section.

 

Tri City Canvas is in Granite City. They still lightweight tarps, but nothing is as durable as 18oz vinyl, which they do a superb job of making, even custom sizes and D-ring spacing while you wait. Cordura tarps CAN NOT be patched without a serger, and they rip on #### near everything. Once you tear it, you've got swiss cheese tarps until you get them back to the shop and give them another $65 to stitch her up again.

 

I order from myteeproducts.com super light 8 foot drop lumber tarp claiming 53 pounds each and I got the 75 pounds ones I complain and they say you can return them but guess what shipping was $250 , there is no respect anymore companies yes don't care anymore as long they can charge you first and never see you again , this hurts because I am small frame 140 pound guy

 

I remember back when I was 152lbs I could overhead press 240lbs 5X5. Hit the gym and every tarp becomes light.

 

OHP 240 lbs? Uh wow....


I just bought a set from Winkler canvas out of Winkler, MB. They have a good reputation. 13 oz and they seem to roll up real nice and tight. They will probably get tighhter after a few months of wear. But $2300 for 5 tarps (four piece plus smoke).
