Hey guys, I'm trying to get my own authority. I'm curious on what brand of 8' Lumber tarps to buy. I've helped TMC and P&S drivers fold tarps before and I think they have the best kind. Anyone know who manufactures them? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Where to get good tarps?

I use girard tarps. Girard Tarps Inc. im a rock truck but ive seen them make other types and they do a good job.

Tri city canvas is where I got all my tarps from. Super high quality. They also make coil bags that are really nice too.

When I was pulling step deck, I've had light weight tarps from DS-Sewing. 2 end pieces and one middle. 50lbs each. Had them for 7 years till quit trucking, always padded though.

I have a set of 8’s from Marco’s truck tarps in Houston and they have been good so far.Also Houston truck tarps seems to have good ones as well.I believe I paid $780 for the set in May.

I have used Double C Canvas in Midlothian, TX exclusively for all of my tarps and major repairs. They are a tad more expensive than some of the other major canvas companies but I have never had a single issue with any of their tarps.

Yeah, company I drove for down there used them, too. Of course, they paid for the cheaper by the dozen repair priced I think, because they had patches all over them tarps. The newer ones looked good, but they didn't last long with those other drivers.

I've had really good luck with their tarps. The only rips or tears have come from my mistakes and their repairs have been top notch.CAXPT Thanks this.

Just remembered that Sioux City Tarp sold me a really good 8 foot drop when I had my hotshot.They are located in Sioux City,Iowa.

I use the canvas tarps from TarpsNow. Pretty solid. Waterproof and heavy duty. I make mine last long by using proper fasteners to minimize the wind tearing the tarp up.
