Tarpaulin

PVC tarps consist of a strong woven polyester fabric which is then coated with a Polyvinylchloride to waterproof In a basic sense, Poly Tarps are made by using a nylon fabric which is then coated by a Polyethylene resin. U.V treatment is also added to help protect against sunlight. Poly tarps also have rope reinforcement around the perimeter.

In short PVC is much more durable than Poly. It is more wear resistant and has a life of around 6 years in the sun before the coating will begin to harden and crack. The other advantage of PVC is that they can be easily repaired with a hot wedge welder and PVC cements and glues. The advantage of Poly compared to PVC is that it is much lighter and cheaper by comparison. 

The main advantage of being much lighter is we can make large sizes of Tarps (such as 18 x 18m, less time used tarping up as well as less joins!) Having less tarps for a large application area also means less tie down time and loss of productivity! Canvas is by far the strongest and tear resistant of the three materials. However it is also the most difficult to repair (as it has to be stitched), does become porous after time and is the most expensive.
