American Tarping has partnered with United Tarps to expand our Stars n’ Stripes tarp lineup to include new patriotic designs just in time for the July 4th holiday.

All three tarps are available in Heavy Duty Mesh and Asphalt 18oz Vinyl

To keep it simple, here is how most customers decide:

Across this lineup, you will see the same core construction:

  • Super heavy duty build available in Mesh or 18oz Asphalt Vinyl. 

  • American-made

  • Four rows of seatbelt webbing reinforcement

  • Double sewn pocket

  • Stainless steel grommets

Heavy Duty Mesh

  • Great for everyday hauling

  • Helps reduce wind resistance compared to a solid tarp

  • A popular choice for many dump applications

Asphalt 18oz Vinyl

  • A solid cover option when you want more complete coverage

  • Waterproof and rated for high-heat materials. 

  • Often preferred when you want a clean, bold look that reads clearly

If you want help choosing mesh vs vinyl for your route, call us and we will walk through it with you. If you are ordering a Star n Stripe tarp for a parade or event, we can also help you confirm the best material for your setup.


Options that make installation easier and tarps last longer

All of these tarps can be ordered with add-ons that make a difference in the real world.

  • Add spline: Spline is helpful if your tarp axle has an extruded aluminum channel and allows slide-in installation on grooved tarp axles. 

  • Add a vinyl reinforced pocket: This option adds 18 oz vinyl to the pocket end of the tarp and helps extend tarp life and protects against tearing and wear at the pocket end

  • Grommet Placement: choose to have grommets on front only or all 4 sides, allowing for extra tie-down points and tension.

  • 12” Side Flaps (Vinyl Tarps): optionally include side flaps for reinforced containment and sealing of your load.

How to choose the right tarp for your truck

Most ordering issues come from two things: fit and installation style. If you confirm those, you are usually set.

Before you order, confirm:

  • Dump body length and width

  • Axle type (grooved channel vs bolt-on)

  • If you want spline for easier installation

  • If you want a vinyl reinforced pocket for added longevity

  • If your system is rack and pinion style

If you are not sure, reach out. We would rather help you confirm it now than see you stuck with the wrong size.


Quick July 4th prep checklist

If you are planning a parade, this small checklist helps your tarp look its best:

  • Install the tarp straight so the design reads cleanly

  • Use the correct star placement if you run rack and pinion

  • Consider a vinyl reinforced pocket if you want extra protection

  • Give yourself lead time since these are made-to-order


Other United Tarps designs we also carry

If you want more options beyond this campaign, we also carry other United Tarps designs such as Texas, Back the Blue, and Thin Red Line. If you want help choosing, call (786) 708-6662.


FAQ

How long does it take to get one of these tarps?

These are custom, made-to-order tarps. Handling time is typically 2 weeks.

Can I return it if I ordered the wrong size?

Custom tarps are non-returnable and non-exchangeable, so it is important to confirm measurements before ordering.

What does spline do?

Spline lets the tarp slide into a grooved axle channel instead of being bolted on. Grommets are still included.

What is a vinyl reinforced pocket?

It adds 18 oz vinyl to the pocket end of the tarp to help protect against tears and extend tarp life.
