What size tarp do I need?
You should use the following formulas when determining the tarp size for your truck:
Tarp width: Take the width of the tarp axle/roller and subtract 4 inches.
Tarp length: Take the length of your truck body and add 2 feet. The additional length allows the tarp to cover a heaped load.
Which tarp material do I need?
The type of tarp material you need comes down to your application use as well as your budget. The first question to ask yourself is if you need waterproof protection, or not.
Non-waterproof mesh tarps are the most common dump truck tarps and use an open weave mesh design. Mesh tarps are ideal for hauling gravel, sand, rocks, landscaping and agricultural debris, and any other use for which you do not need 100% weatherproof protection. There are several types of mesh truck tarps available to choose from, including:
- Economy black mesh - lighter weight, lower cost
- Heavy duty black mesh - sturdier and longer lasting
- Multi-mesh - made of multi-color strands, as strong as heavy duty black mesh but priced lower due to multiple colors
Waterproof vinyl tarps are made of solid vinyl and are designed to keep the contents of the dump body completely dry. Vinyl tarps are classified by the weight of the vinyl. The standard weight of vinyl truck tarps is 18oz. Vinyl tarps are ideal for hauling perishable items, such as grains and other food items, as well as fertilizers due to their waterproof and UV protective qualities. Vinyl truck tarps are also perfect (and sometimes required) for applications that require heat resistance, such as asphalt hauling.
