Everybody needs heavy duty canvas tarps once in awhile for one thing or the other. Heavy duty canvas tarps are popular because first, these are really heavy duty. You need not worry about lifting these because these are not that heavy as the name suggests the word here means nothing but ultra durable, appreciably rugged and light weight. Also when we think of buying tarps, we want them to last forever which is quite hypothetical but nonetheless achievable to some extent. Heavy duty canvas tarps last so long you will feel like they lasted forever! We now understand tarps are used for some very demanding jobs that require them to last very long. But what exactly do people use these for?

Without being unnecessarily garrulous, let us talk of the two industries that make the most use of tarps.

Agriculture

The biggest user of tarps canvas is the agriculture industry. People use tarps for all sort uses on agricultural lands and store houses and a lot of things that are remotely associated with agriculture, but connected with the farming industry nevertheless. Some of these are directly related to agriculture such as making greenhouses, or makeshift storerooms for harvested crops. But the biggest application can be seen in industries ancillary to agriculture, most prominently in transportation but how effective are these tarp covers? The point is moot. For instance some farmers protect their temperature sensitive crops from being damaged by thaw. People are not too sure whether this is a good thing to do because moisture trapped under the cover can damage the crop. Besides, plants require sunlight to produce their food and covering up eliminates the role of the sun, which again is not at all desirable for a crop farmer.

Animal Husbandry

Now it so happens that animal farms are not too far away from agricultural lands and farmers are smart folks who are well-known for making good use of everything around them, even heavy duty canvas tarps they have in their fields. Tarps are not used as blankets if you thought so! These go into making fine roofs for animal shelters. It keeps the place warm and well protected for all your four legged assets to remain healthy and safe from the elements of nature. We won’t go deep into the details of constructing a coop or a manger here, there are elaborate manuals and instructional documents on the internet that will help you build one with canvas tarps. But let us say that if you want to use tarps for building such things you better choose those that have the word ‘heavy duty’ somewhere in the name.

We are sure that if you look around, you will find more industries so we will leave you at that with one tiny advice- always buy tarps that are high in quality and durability.
