Heavy Duty Blue Tarps - Made in USA

These are heavy-duty blue tarps made in the USA — true 10 mil poly tarps (blue poly tarpaulins) woven from 3-ply reinforced polyethylene, roughly twice as thick as the 3–5 mil blue tarps you'll find imported. UV-coated on both sides and fitted with brass grommets, this is the thick, American-made version of the familiar blue roofing tarp: built to last longer in the sun and wind, and made for jobs that call for a stronger, domestically produced cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Made-in-USA blue tarps best used for?

They are a heavy-duty choice for roofing and emergency roof tarps, hurricane and disaster relief, construction cover, and military or equipment protection. The 10 mil American-made build lasts longer than thin imported blue tarps, which makes it well suited to demanding and long-term outdoor jobs.

How are Made-in-USA blue tarps different from imported blue tarps?

There are three main differences. This Made-in-USA tarp is 10 mil thick, while most imported blue tarps are 3 to 5 mil. It uses brass grommets instead of the aluminum grommets common on imported tarps. And the overall material quality is heavier-duty for a longer service life.

Why choose a Made-in-USA blue tarp over an imported one?

Beyond meeting domestic-sourcing (Buy America) requirements, the Made-in-USA blue tarp is a true 10 mil — roughly twice as thick as the 3 to 5 mil imported blue tarps — with brass rather than aluminum grommets for a longer service life in sun and wind. Choose it for demanding roofing, construction, and military jobs; choose the imported 5 mil blue tarp for budget, short-term cover.

How thick are these blue tarps?

These are a true 10 mil, measured rather than inflated. That is roughly twice the thickness of the 3 to 5 mil blue tarps typically sold as imported economy tarps, so they hold up better against sun, wind, and repeated use.

Why brass grommets instead of aluminum?

Brass grommets resist rust and corrosion and hold up better than the aluminum grommets found on most imported blue tarps. Because grommets are a common failure point, brass helps extend the usable life of the tarp. They are spaced approximately every 2 ft around the perimeter.

Are these blue tarps Buy America ready and suitable for jobs that require Made-in-USA materials?

Yes. These tarps are manufactured in the USA, so they are a fit for federal, state, military, and prevailing-wage projects that require domestically produced (Buy America / Buy American) materials. If you need documentation for a specific contract or solicitation, contact us and we can help.

Are blue tarps waterproof and UV-protected?

Yes. They are made from waterproof woven polyethylene with UV coating on both sides, so they shed water and resist sun damage, which is why they are widely used for roof, hurricane, and construction cover.

What sizes do Made-in-USA blue tarps come in?

This collection offers 23 sizes, from 8 ft x 10 ft up to 100 ft x 100 ft, including large sizes for commercial roofing and construction. Listed dimensions are cut size; the finished tarp is up to 3 percent, or 6 inches, smaller, whichever is larger.

What size blue tarp do I need for a roof or equipment cover?

Measure the area you need to cover and add overlap on each side so the tarp extends past the edges for runoff and tie-down. Because listed sizes are cut size and finish slightly smaller, size up if you need full coverage of an exact area.
