What is Tarpaulin?
A tarp is a large sheet of strong, flexible, water-resistant material, often a fabric such as canvas or polyester coated with polyurethane, or made of a plastic such as polyethylene. Tarpaulins often have grommets that are reinforced at the corners and along the sides to form attachment points for ropes, allowing them to be tied or suspended. Tarpaulins are used in many ways to protect people and objects from wind, rain, and sunlight. They are used during construction or after a disaster to protect partially constructed or damaged structures, to prevent clutter during painting and similar activities, and to contain and collect debris. They are used to protect truckloads and open wagons, to keep logs dry, and for shelter such as tents or other temporary structures.
