Backpacking Tarps for The Ultimate Backpacker.

When it comes to backpacking you want to keep things light. The backpacking tarps are the best way to travel due to their compact packing and versatility. Having a good backpacking tarp as appose to a tent or camping canopy is the way to go. A good polyethylene backpacking tarp can be placed in between two trees or set up with tent stake. Poly backpacking tarps are also waterproof and much lighter than canvas. Although you might see many backpackers using canvas a good poly backpack tarp with grommets every 18 inches is the way to go. The backpacking tarps range in size from 5x7 to 10x16 with the average size being 6x8. If you are going camping and have a long hike ahead of you it is advisable to pack light, thus the use of backpacking tarps.

Thank You,

Just got back from a camping trip with the scouts. We made a large purchase through TarpsPlus.com a week prior to heading out on our exiting experience. I was truly skeptical about receiving them in time, but within four days we received our tarps. They worked wonderful for shade during the day and performed their best at night against the rain.

Why are Silver Tarps The Best for Sun Protection

Image
People are always asking what are the best tarps to block the sun there are 2 types of tarps for this of application. The silver tarps and silver/black poly tarps. The silver tarps are the way to go. Our silver tarps are super heavy duty and great sun inhibitors. All of our heavy duty poly tarps are UV treated but the silver application that is applied to the tarps simply creates a reflective sheen on the tarp material. The silver/silver tarps (which is a tarp that is silver on both sides) enables to have a reflect ant on both sides of the material. The silver/black tarps have silver on one side and black on the other side of the tarp. The black side of the tarp acts as a light inhibitor thus blocking out light better than other tarps due to the silver reflective on one side of the tarp and the black out material on the other side of the tarp. While some people might use a dark green tarp for shade the ultimate sun blockage would be one of our silver poly tarps.

Thank You,

The Correct Glue For Vinyl Tarps

Image
In order to fix a damaged tarpaulin, you must have the correct glue for vinyl tarps. Since these devices are made of vinyl, you will utilize the adhesive which will work with the material involved. In order to discover what will work best for your project, there are a few things you should consider. This type of vinyl tarp covering is what many people tend to confuse with polyethylene. The former has a uniform face, which is heavier in weight, and much stronger. The latter is lighter, and crinkles when moved. Polyethylene is also woven, so the differences are not subtle. Those who have dealt with both products realize the deviations. When dealing with the harsh elements, you want a device which will protect so much as possible.With that being written, this type of compound is a bonding of two, or more, monomers which form a polymer. When this occurs, in a laboratory, this plastic occurs. Please realize this does not happen, naturally. It is a univalent synthetic radical …
