Heavy Duty White Tarps

Heavy duty white tarps are 10 mil waterproof poly tarps best for carport and canopy replacement, backyard and patio cover, equipment protection, and any job where you want a brighter, cleaner-looking cover. White passes more light than silver or silver/black, so it stays lighter underneath, and the clean white color gives a more elegant, finished look.

Yes. At a true 10 mil with a 14 x 14 weave and plastic-bar-reinforced corners, white tarps are a popular heavy duty replacement for worn carport and canopy tops. Measure your existing canopy and pick a finished size that overlaps the frame on all sides, then use the grommets every 1.5 ft to lash the tarp tightly to the frame.

Yes. White poly passes more light than silver, brown silver, or silver/black tarps, so the space under a white carport, canopy, or patio cover stays noticeably brighter rather than dim. Choose white when you want a lighter, cleaner feel underneath; choose silver/black when you instead want to block light fully.

These are a true 10 mil thick with a 14 x 14 weave count and 5.5 oz/sq yd fabric weight, made by Sigman from woven reinforced polyethylene and UV-coated on both sides. They are heavier than most white tarps on the market, so they hold up far better than the thin white tarps sold at hardware stores.

All three are heavy duty poly. Choose 10 mil white when you want a brighter space underneath and a clean look. Choose 10 mil silver for a heat-reflective canopy, roof, and equipment cover. Choose 11 mil silver/black when you want a heavier tarp with a blackout-black side that blocks light completely. White is the bright, light-friendly option in the lineup.

In high-UV climates such as Florida, Arizona, and California, intense sun shortens the life of any poly tarp. The UV coating on both sides helps, but for maximum longevity in those states, step up to a vinyl cover such as an 18 oz vinyl coated polyester tarp, which typically lasts about 5 to 6 years in FL, AZ, and CA.

Measure the area or canopy frame you need to cover and allow extra material on each side for overlap and tie-down. White tarps come in 25 finished sizes from 5' x 7' up to 40' x 60', including common carport and canopy sizes like 10' x 20', 12' x 20', and 20' x 20'. Because these are finished-size tarps, the actual size is usually within 1 to 3 inches of the nominal size listed.

Choose 10 mil heavy duty white for a strong, affordable, bright carport and canopy cover for seasonal to medium-term use. Step up to a 12 mil or heavier Made-in-USA poly tarp when you need the longest outdoor service life, or to an 18 oz vinyl tarp for maximum longevity in high-UV climates.
