About Super Tarps

Our Story

Super Tarps grew out of a problem every contractor and rancher in Montana knows firsthand: cheap tarps fail at the worst possible moment. A sudden spring snowstorm dumps eight inches on your lumber pile, and the blue tarp you bought last month tears along the grommets because the manufacturer punched them through single-layer fabric. Your wood is soaked, your schedule slips, and you find yourself buying another tarp that will do the same thing next season.

We decided to solve that problem by building tarps the way they should have been built from the start. Our founding principle was straightforward: use enough material to make the product last, reinforce every stress point, and protect the entire surface against the elements that destroy polyethylene. That principle led us to high-density polyethylene woven into tight fabric at up to 16x16 weave counts, laminated on both sides, with UV stabilizers applied to both the tape layers and the lamination surfaces.

The grommets on our heavy duty tarps sit every 18 inches along the full perimeter. Each grommet point gets reinforced edging and a rustproof aluminum eyelet that resists corrosion in salt air, acidic soil and industrial fumes. The corners receive extra reinforcement because that is where most tarps tear first when wind catches an edge. Heat-sealed seams with poly twine inserted into the hems replace the stitched seams that let water wick through on standard tarps.

Today our catalog includes 11 tarps across five colors: brown super heavy duty covers at 8 oz per square yard and 16 mil thickness, white and black heavy duty options at 6 oz and 11-12 mil, a forest green medium duty tarp for lighter applications, and a high-visibility red tarp for construction and event use. Sizes range from a compact 3x18 foot strip to a full 12x25 foot cover that handles RVs and construction sites.

We source materials from suppliers who meet our polyethylene density and UV additive specifications. Each tarp goes through lamination, heat-sealing, grommet insertion and visual inspection before it ships. The result is a product that customers report using for three to seven years of continuous outdoor exposure, across snow loads, desert sun, coastal moisture and agricultural chemicals.

Our customers include homeowners covering firewood and outdoor furniture, contractors protecting building materials overnight, farmers shielding feed storage and equipment, and outdoor enthusiasts setting up camp shelters and boat covers. Each of these users needs a tarp that performs without maintenance and survives conditions that wear out generic alternatives in a single season.

Based in Whitehall, Montana, we operate from a region where weather tests everything left outdoors. That environment shaped how we build tarps. If a cover cannot handle a Montana winter, it does not carry our name.
