TARP APPLICATIONS:
Tarps are graded by the color, weave
density, denier, UV resistance, corner support and reflectivity. Our tarps
use only the best construction features:
Economical
Blue Tarps have high-density
polyethylene woven
centers, poly rope reinforced edge-hems, 30 Micron polyethylene
laminations on both sides, waterproof heat-sealed hems/seams and aluminum
grommets every 3 feet and in the corners. Each tarp is individually
bagged.
Super Heavy Duty
Brown Tarps
are 16
mils
thick,
16x16 weave, 8 oz/sq.yard high-density polyethylene woven centers,
poly rope reinforced edge-hems, UV stabilized both sides, waterproof
heat-sealed hems/seams and aluminum grommets every 18" and in the
corners. Each tarp is individually bagged. Available in a variety of
popular sizes.
Our
Green Tarps
are 55% stronger than
blue ones.
 They feature 10x10 weave high-density
polyethylene reinforcement woven centers, 4.5 Oz., UV resistant, poly
rope reinforced hems, heavy-duty molded corner reinforcements, 50
Micron polyethylene lamination on both side, hem-stitched or
heat-sealed reinforced hems and aluminum grommets every 24" and in
all corners. They are also ideal for hillside coverage / erosion
control. Its quite easy to strap several together. See our
illustration below.
Our
Silver/Black Tarps and Silver/Silver Heavy Duty
UV Tarps (about 215% stronger than blue ones)
feature 14x14 weave high-density polyethylene reinforcement centers,
4.8 to 5 oz., UV resistant, poly rope reinforced hems, heavy-duty
molded corner reinforcements, 50 Micron polyethylene lamination on
both side, hem-stitched or heat-sealed reinforced hems and aluminum
grommets every 18" and in all corners. The silver side reflects heat
and the black underside stays cooler in the sun.
ALSO AVAILALBLE: Heavy Duty Clear, extra-reinforced, fire retarded for gyms, red, yellow, 10 to 18 ounce vinyl, 10-15 ounce canvas, mesh and partial shade tarps, ice rink tarps, custom field covers and more. Email us at sales@bestmaterials.com.

A: Tom Silva replies: Basically,
what you want to do is cover the
damage with a woven plastic polyethylene tarp that is held in place
with 1x3 wood strips. Here's how I do it. First I roll one end at
least twice around a long 1x3, then screw it to the undamaged side
of the roof. The 1x3 "roll" should be against the roof so it won't
collect water and debris. The rest of the tarp goes over the ridge
and down the other side of the roof several feet beyond the damage.
Then I roll the opposite end of the tarp around another 1x3 and
screw it to the roof sheathing, roll side down. Now it's just a
matter of using more 1x3s and screws to hold down the tarp's sides.
They don't have to be rolled in the tarp. A "blue roof" isn't
pretty, I'll admit, but it will keep the weather out until someone
can repair the damage.

Materials Adds: We suggest adding
Eternbond RoofSeal tape
or
Doublestick along the edges of
the tarp and at any overlaps of two tarps. This prevents leaks. Use
RoofSeal Plus for
granulated shingle roofs. Also - where possible, wrap the bottom of
the tarp around the bottom base of the roof and screw to the
underside of the eaves -- water will runoff and not puddle along
areas which have been screwed down. The blue tarps are really cheap,
will tear easily and will degrade quickly in the direct sun. We
recommend use of the Heavy Duty tarps. For smaller leaks just use the
RoofSeal. A 6"-wide roll can be overlapped to create seals for
larger areas of damage or missing tiles.
How to Tarp Very
Large Areas / How to Overlap &
Tie Tarps Together:
by Best
Materials
It is simple to
tarp very large areas with smaller tarps. Simply overlap the tarps
and rope together using the convenient grommets. This makes easy
work of hillsides, large roofs, fields, grain stockpiles, etc. On
sloped surfaces, the overlapped areas behave like roof tiles and
allow water to properly run off. For complete waterproofing
and on flat surfaces, use
aluminum
faced roof repair tape along the seams. Watertight seams and
perimeter seals can be easily created using Eternabond
RoofSeal tape and Eternabond
Doublestick.
Preventing Tarp
Failure:
Larger
tarps need to be secured with ropes woven through ALL the
grommet holes, as above. The rope should run the entire LENGTH and
each end of the rope then secured. The tension in the rope should be
from END-TO-END of the rope. All 4 sides of the tarp are done this
way. This prevents excess tarp stress under various conditions.
Roping the corners and a few center areas will result in failure. The
tarp manufacturers do not warrant failure due to
improper tie down, over-stress or high wind.
The above practice will prevent most tears.
