What tarpaulin sizes and colours
|
||||
|
|
||||
| Tarpaulins are available in many different sizes and colours. This may vary depending on the manufacturer. | ||||
Colour |
||||
 |
Most standard and affordable tarpaulins often come in blue, but canvas tarpaulins can come in tan, and it is even possible to get tarpaulins in camouflage.
In the UK, there is no correlation between the colour of a tarpaulin and its thickness or weight. |
|||
Size |
||||
 |
Tarpaulins are available in numerous sizes, and several manufacturers will make tarpaulins to order.
When ordering a tarpaulin, you should be aware of the difference between the “cut size” and the “finished size”. |
|||
 |
“Cut size”The “cut size” refers to the size of the material before it is turned into a tarpaulin and does not take into account any seams or hems that must be made. |
|||
 |
“Finished size”As a result, a tarpaulin’s “finished size” will usually be somewhat smaller than its “cut size”. How much exactly will vary depending on the manufacturer. |
|||
 |
It is also important that you factor in the size of all the sides of the object being covered to determine what size tarpaulin you will need. | |||
What is a reversible tarpaulin? |
||||
 |
A reversible tarpaulin is a tarpaulin that has at least two sheets of material, with each frequently being a different colour.
As a result, these tarpaulins are more robust than single sheeted ones. |
