Heavy Duty Silver Tarps

Yes. The reflective silver coating bounces back more sunlight and heat than darker tarp colors. Silver and white are the most reflective poly tarp colors, which helps keep the area underneath cooler.

Heavy duty silver tarps are popular for canopy and carport replacement tops, emergency and temporary roof cover, farm and hay protection, and construction equipment and machinery covers. They also work well for firewood, boat, and vehicle covers.

It depends on climate. A 10 mil silver poly tarp may last about 2 to 4 years in low-to-medium UV areas such as the Midwest and Northeast, but only a few months in very high heat and high-UV regions like Florida, Arizona, and California. The reflective silver surface helps extend life compared with darker colors.

Choose a 10 mil silver poly tarp for cost-effective, lightweight, all-weather cover in low-to-medium UV conditions. Choose an 18 oz vinyl coated polyester tarp when you need the longest service life and the toughest UV, tear, and abrasion resistance, especially in high-heat climates like Florida and Arizona.

Yes. These silver tarps are waterproof and UV-coated on both sides. For best results, install with enough slope and secure tie-downs so water runs off and does not pool in wind and heavy rain.

Silver tarps have rustproof grommets spaced approximately every 1.5 ft on all sides, with rope-reinforced hems and plastic cap reinforced corners. In windy conditions, tie down at every grommet and avoid leaving loose areas that can flap and wear.

This collection offers 36 sizes, from 6' x 8' up to 100' x 100'. Tarp sizes are approximate finished sizes. If you do not see the size you need, custom silver tarps are available.

For high-heat, high-UV regions, a 10 mil poly tarp will wear faster. Step up to an 18 oz vinyl coated polyester tarp, which offers outstanding UV, heat, and abrasion resistance for long-term outdoor use in Florida, Arizona, and California.
