Polyester Canvas Tarps
Polyester Canvas Tarps are made for long-term outdoor cover applications that need near-waterproof performance, high UV resistance, and strong tear resistance. Compared with traditional cotton canvas tarps, these tarps deliver better weather durability while keeping a canvas-like look and feel. Ideal for canopy covers, boat canvas covers, outdoor furniture covers, carport covers, and equipment protection. Made in USA and available in multiple sizes, with custom size options available for specialized projects.

Polyester Canvas vs Cotton Canvas Tarps
Choosing between polyester canvas and cotton canvas depends on your environment and performance needs. Polyester canvas is the better choice for long-term outdoor use where waterproof performance, UV resistance, and tear resistance matter most.
Polyester Canvas Tarps
- Near-waterproof, strong water-resistant performance
- Higher UV resistance for long-term sun exposure
- Stronger tear resistance under repeated outdoor use
- Cotton canvas look and feel (not a plastic-like texture)
- Best for canopy covers, boat canvas covers, outdoor furniture, and equipment protection
Cotton Canvas Tarps
- Traditional natural-canvas material
- Water-resistant, but typically less water-resistant than polyester canvas over time
- Lower UV durability in prolonged sun exposure
- Can require more maintenance depending on finish and use conditions
- Better for applications where natural-fiber preference is the primary consideration
Quick Decision Guide
- Choose polyester canvas for stronger outdoor durability, UV resistance, and tear resistance.
- Choose cotton canvas if you prefer natural fiber and lower-duty use conditions.

Great product and great customer service.
My go to company for quality, super long lasting tarps. I've been buying tarps from mytarp.com for at least 10 years and I still have all of them.

Dinghy chaps. Hello I would to share what I made with your product a set of dinghy chaps.
A good heavy duty tarp that is similar to old canvas tarps from the 70s. Stitching appears to be good quality and the reinforced seams and eyelets are holding up well.
I've been buying vinyl from MyTarp for several years. I use it to make Ice Boots for horses, it's incredibly strong and holds up to incredible stress The customer service is amazing.
Ordering a new tarp to match one I purchased from MyTarp.com in 2014. The tarp has been a workhorse... total sun and weather exposure the entire 12 years.
Thankful. Great customer service. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you so much for the quality tarp and connectors. Thought you may want to see how my custom tarp project turned out.
Used these grommets for years. They are very good quality and reasonably priced. It's always such a pleasure to deal with the staff. They are very friendly and helpful.
Good quality fabric. It looks very durable. I used it with the HH-66 vinyl cement to make patio furniture covers. The cement is bonding the fabric really well.
Vinyl Coated Mesh Fabric. Always ships fast, my ETSY customers love the beach bags, boat bags, drag bags and doll accessories they receive.
Vinyl mesh. Excellent service and product.
