Privacy Fence Tarps


Tarps are used for many different types of applications. One such use is for privacy. Available in both green and black colors, the privacy fence mesh tarp is designed to fit a standard fence height of 6 feet. The dense poly mesh material has an 80% visibility block rating and contains aluminum grommets spaced every 12 inches along the tarp perimeter for securing purposes. Sold in 50-foot lengths, privacy fence tarps provide UV protection and are stronger than standard shade mesh fabrics. Privacy fencing is perfect for construction site security and residential communities with conjoined backyards. In addition, the woven mesh material acts as a windbreak and prevents dust and small dirt particles from passing through the fabric. The mesh covering for privacy fences is made of high-density polypropylene fabrics and can be joined with additional pieces to obtain the desired fit. The polypropylene mesh material is oil based and will no only resist mold and mildew but can be easily cleaned with a standard garden hose. Privacy fence screen is a cost effective solution to providing both privacy and color to any fence whether it be in a residential neighborhood, construction site, tennis court or acting as a barrier for special events.

Canopy Replacement Covers

With every new canopy purchase there comes a time when the cover needs to be replaced. Most polyethylene canopy covers have an average lifespan of 2-4 years before replacement is needed. At CanopiesAndTarps.com we make purchasing a new canopy cover easy. Our selection of standard, valance top and valance enclosure covers are always in stock and available for immediate shipment.

All of our canopy replacement covers are made of fiber-backed poly, which is heat-sealed and then laminated. UV treatments go into each cover to ensure optimal protection for year round coverage you can count on. Rope reinforced edges and grommets line the perimeter and are spaced every 18 inches. Choose from a variety of color choices and find a canopy replacement cover that works for your specific application.

Before purchasing a new replacement cover be sure to measure your existing frame. Our tarp covers featured on this section are designed for high angled peak frames. To get an accurate measurement you will want to take three different measurements. First, measure the width of the frame from inside leg to inside leg. Second, measure the length from inside leg to inside leg. Your final measurement will be from the ground to the center highest point on the peak. For 10’ and 12’ wide, high peak canopies, you should get a center height of around 9 to10’ from ground to center peak. On the larger canopy frames, like that of the 18’ wide models, a normal center height measurement should be between 11 to 12’. After your measurements are complete and you have determined that your frame is in fact a high peak design, simply match your width and length measurements with the appropriate replacement cover.

Poly tarps are now being used for many different applications and in many different industries including construction, agriculture, garden, sports, marine and more.

Full coverage canopies include an enclosure kit and when constructed acts as a temporary carport or portable garage.

Canopies For Boat Storage.


When considering storage options for your boat or recreational vehicle many people only think about the winter months. Although, harsh environmental elements such as snow, wind and rain are damaging, it is just as important to provide adequate protection during the summer months. Boats and other recreational vehicles should be stored in an outdoor canopy structure all year round.

All outdoor canopies come complete with heavy-duty polyethylene tarp covers that will protect boats and recreational vehicles from damaging outdoor conditions. Boats and RVs can experience UV damage if left outdoors and unprotected for extended periods of time. Some of the damaging effects can include fading, cracking and discoloration of the paint surface. Portable storage canopies protect recreational vehicles from these damaging conditions and will help keep them looking new year after year.

In addition to properly covering your boat with an outdoor canopy there are other measures which can be taken to help minimize costly repairs. Some of these useful measures to remember include:

- Your boat’s gas tank should always be topped off and oil should always be changed prior to putting it into storage for the year

- Keep plenty of open boxes of baking soda all over the boat, which will prevent mildew and smells and also keep bugs and mice out.

- Electronic devices and batteries should be removed.

- Make repairs to any dings or cracks on your boats surface before putting it into storage.

- Give your boat a thorough cleaning before placing it in storage for long periods of time.
