The 411 on Tarps - Questions and answers about Tarps that we custom manufacture
by www.ahh.biz - Specialized Textile Outfitters
Question_Text:
I am looking for an outdoor, tinted/colored,
transparent tarp, that is strong enough to withstand New England winters with
wind, ice and snow. It is to wrap around my porch. Do you have such a product?
It looks like you might have the "fabric," but without grommets. Do you know
where I might be able to buy something like this that has grommets and is
reinforced for outdoor use?
Answer:
We can custom manufacture reinforced clear vinyl tarps
to your specifications, we can also manufacture tarps from nearly any of the
fabric, vinyl and mesh that we sell on our website.
We have the clear
vinyl in two weights that would be suitable for outdoor use: 20 gauge and
40, we also have a 20 gauge tinted vinyl.
20 gauge clear vinyl
40 gauge clear vinyl
Tinted 20 gauge clear vinyl
These clear vinyl materials are rated for constant outdoor use in
temperatures down to -30℉
We offer size 2 and size 4 grommets on our
tarps, but we usually end up putting size 4 in the corners of the tarp
because the larger size 4 grommet has a long enough flange length to
properly set in a the corner of the tarp where the material is both
reinforced and doubled up, due to the hems on both the vertical and
horizontal sides of the tarp coming together in the corners.
Question_Text:
I am looking for a custom, natural color (white),
UV protected?, 36" x 15'-6" (finished size) canvas tarp. Each of the 15'-6"
sides is to have a pocket sewn in to accept 1/2" ID x 15'-6" metallic
electrical conduit. This tarp will be used to cover a solar pool cover when
it is rolled up on its reel. It will require two people to drape the tarp
over the rolled solar cover. The weigh of the metallic conduit will keep the
tarp in place and eliminate the need for snaps or Velcro, which wouldn't be
accessible since the reel is located over the center of the pool. Best
Regards,
Answer:
We can definitely make this tarp for you, to
the specifications you stated. However, we require a simple diagram that has
all of the measurements listed, including distances between (centers of)
grommets, distances between straps, and other fixtures and hardware.
Pictures of a tarp of the same type(s) may help us, but a simple, good
diagram with all the critical measurements will often provide us with enough
of information to both give you a price quote, and manufacture your tarp.
