KawarthaGuy Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Gents, I buy the CT brand tarps on sale every year for my boat. They work OK but I guess the UV rays turns them into toast. Can anyone recommend a brand, store, marine dealer etc that sells a superior tarp? Thanks Kawarthaguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tootsie II Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I used to have the same problem with using the cheaper tarps as fly-tarps for our combined dining tent/breezeway/main sleeping tent set-up. Although they are considerably more expensive, I started buying the heavier tarps that are sold at feed/farm supply stores and I don't mean TSC. Just bought my second one this year only because the one I bought 5 years ago was just starting to have grommet problems. Here in Owen Sound, I buy them from the Co-op ( Huron Bay Co-op. ) My new 20 ft X 30 ft was $ 107. + tax but worth every cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawarthaGuy Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks Toots, Talked to hunter at work and he said if you want heavy-duty go to P-Auto. So I found a heavy canvas tarp, 15 X 20' for $210 online. I'll give it a shot next year. Kawarthaguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishinbum Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Our tarps are from trucking companies. Used to cover lumber and other stuff during shipping. we actually have post and beam out building built from these that are 10 years old. With tons of trucking companies around stop in at a few and ask. A pickup truck load cost us $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
