Description
Smoke tarps are used to cover and protect loads on a flatbed truck and trailer. They are sometimes referred to as a nose tarp because they are frequently used to cover the front of a load. Smoke tarps can be installed as one single tarp that will keep smoke, bugs, and road debris off the cargo or they can be used in conjunction with a steel tarp that is turned sideways to cover boxed shaped loads.
Smoke Tarps are constructed out of an 18-ounce vinyl coated polyester fabric that has proven to be the best choice for this style of tarp. This material is assembled using heat sealed seams and the outer edge of the tarp is folded to create a two-ply thickness with a 2" heavy duty polypro webbing installed. Brass spur grommets are machine punched through this reinforcement webbing about every 24" all the way around the hem. Three rows of D-rings are installed with our traditional 31" spacing to match the design of our 8' drop lumber tarps. These D-rings are spaced no farther than 24" apart, are reinforced with webbing, and are back-stitched with our heavy duty rot resistant polyester thread.
18oz Waterproof Vinyl Fabric Construction
18 ounce vinyl coated polyester is the fabric truck drivers use to cover loads of steel or lumber being hauled on a flatbed. This material has excellent UV resistance and has proven itself for decades in the transportation industry.
Truck drivers travel at interstate speeds in harsh climates covering abrasive cargo and despite these conditions get several years of usage. 18oz vinyl is our most commonly used and sold material we build our tarps with.
Though 18oz is used for big portion of our tarps, there's similar materials we offer with different weights and strength, such as 14oz and 22oz.
