Polytarp is a lower cost alternative to more traditional canvas constructed tarps. It is a synthetic plastic fabric constructed from polyethylene, and is lightweight, strong, and capable of providing full protection from the elements.
The fabric can be used for a wide range of agricultural, industrial and commercial applications thanks to its resistance to rot, mildew and UV light. These properties make it suitable for use in basic truck tarps to protect products from the elements during transportation. Truck tarps constructed of PVC are stronger and tend to have a longer lifespan, although the low cost of poly tarpaulin generally makes it a more cost-effective option if the cover is used for temporary protection.
Polyfabric truck banners can be purchased ready-made in standard truck and dump truck sizes, although custom PVC banners are made to order, typically with a choice of colors, materials, fixings, and the option to stencil or print your name. and/or company logo.
Selection of the best canvas products
when choosing canvas covers for trucks it is important to buy from a manufacturer with a good reputation. The quality of tonneau covers can vary considerably from manufacturer to manufacturer, with many using cheaper materials that can have a major impact on the life of the product. Look for companies that source quality materials, such as Canvacon polyester canvas products, and you’ll be assured of a good quality product.
Canvacon poly fabric is a commercial grade poly fabric with an excellent strength to weight ratio. It is fully waterproof and windproof making it ideal for use as temporary truck tarps and can provide full protection from the elements.

If the heavy-duty fabric is damaged, such as by falling debris, it resists tearing and repairs can be made easily and inexpensively, without having to replace entire tarps. The material is ideal for industrial and agricultural use where strong fabrics are required and is ideal for use in a wide range of polyfabric products such as bunker tarps and grain covers.
Tips for buying tonneau covers
Most manufacturers stock a range of canvas products that can be shipped and delivered quickly; however, please note that larger orders must be placed in advance. Many companies can manufacture tarps and covers to customers’ exact specifications, although any custom designs will delay delivery. If you’re planning an order before harvest season, keep in mind that most tarp makers are busier; producing grain covers and bunker tarpaulins for the agricultural sector. Orders can take much longer to fulfill at these times. Bulk orders may have a higher initial cost, but customers who can buy in bulk can benefit from discounts, so when possible, group orders together to get the best prices.
If you have custom requirements or are unsure of the best polyfabric tarp products to choose from, be sure to speak with the manufacturer’s customer service team. The staff are highly experienced and will be able to recommend the best products to suit your individual needs.
