22 oz Vinyl Coated Polyester Tarps

Sigman 22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarps are built for extra-heavy-duty outdoor protection when abrasion resistance and long service life are higher priorities than easy handling. This weight class is commonly selected for hard-use trailer, transport, dockside, canopy, and industrial protection jobs in strong-sun regions such as Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas.

Specifications

  • Material: 22 oz vinyl coated polyester
  • Fabric weight: 22 oz per sq. yd.
  • Thickness: Approx. 24 mil
  • Waterproof: Yes
  • Performance: High UV resistance, high tear resistance, and strong abrasion resistance
  • Chemical/weather resistance: Resists common outdoor contaminants including oil, grease, and mildew
  • Grommets: Heavy-duty brass grommets, approximately every 2 ft
  • Origin: Made in USA

Best For

  • High-abrasion outdoor applications with repeated stress and tie-down load
  • Long-duration commercial and industrial cover jobs
  • Trailer, transport, and heavy equipment weather protection
  • Dockside and marine-adjacent covers that need stronger material mass
  • High-UV states where long-wear durability is a core requirement

Not Ideal For

  • Frequent quick-deploy jobs where lighter handling is the top priority
  • Routine light-duty covers where 10 oz or 14 oz is sufficient
  • Applications requiring maximum-duty extreme industrial mass (40 oz is better)
  • Projects needing flame resistance by code (use FR-rated products where required)

22 oz vs 10 oz, 14 oz, 18 oz, and 40 oz Vinyl Coated Polyester

  • 10 oz: Lighter and easier to handle for routine coverage; 22 oz is for much tougher wear.
  • 14 oz: Balanced mid-heavy option; 22 oz is better for higher abrasion and heavier duty cycles.
  • 18 oz: Heavy-duty standard; 22 oz is the durability step-up when service demands increase.
  • 22 oz: Extra-heavy-duty choice for long-wear outdoor stress environments.
  • 40 oz: Maximum-duty material for extreme industrial conditions beyond typical heavy-duty needs.

Quick pick: Choose 22 oz when 18 oz is close, but your job requires higher abrasion tolerance and longer service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are 22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarps best used for?

22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarps are best for extra-heavy-duty outdoor applications such as trailer and transport protection, dockside covers, canopy systems, and industrial equipment coverage where abrasion and long service life are key.

Are 22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarps waterproof?

Yes. 22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarps are waterproof and designed for demanding outdoor weather exposure.

Are 22 oz vinyl tarps suitable for high-UV states like Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas?

Yes. 22 oz vinyl coated polyester is commonly used in high-sun climates because of its high UV durability and long-wear outdoor performance.

How does 22 oz compare with 18 oz vinyl tarps?

22 oz is the durability step-up from 18 oz when your job has higher abrasion, heavier stress, or longer service requirements.

When should I choose 40 oz instead of 22 oz?

Choose 40 oz when your project needs maximum-duty industrial performance under extreme abrasion, impact, or long-duration heavy-load conditions.

What thickness is 22 oz vinyl coated polyester material?

22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarp material is approximately 24 mil thick.

How are grommets configured on 22 oz tarps?

These tarps use heavy-duty brass grommets spaced approximately every 2 feet for secure tie-down.

Are these 22 oz tarps made in the USA?

Yes. The 22 oz vinyl coated polyester tarps in this collection are made in the USA.

Do 22 oz vinyl tarps resist oil, grease, and mildew?

Yes. This material is commonly selected for demanding environments and is known for resistance to common outdoor contaminants such as oil, grease, and mildew.

Which applications are not ideal for 22 oz vinyl tarps?

22 oz is not ideal for lightweight quick-deploy use where easier handling is required, or for code-driven flame-resistance requirements where FR-rated materials are needed.
