We stock several different grades of tarpaulin, so choosing the right one can feel a little overwhelming. If you are looking for a practical, cost effective solution, our Budget tarpaulin could be exactly what you need. Read on to find out more and decide whether it is the right option for your project.
What is a Budget Tarpaulin?
Our Budget Tarpaulins offer excellent value for money and are ideal for light duty, everyday protection. They are designed to provide reliable coverage without the higher price tag of heavier grade tarpaulins, making them a popular choice for domestic, garden and short term use.
Despite being an entry level option, these tarpaulins still deliver on essential performance. They are fully waterproof, rot proof and UV protected, helping to extend their lifespan when used outdoors.
Lightweight but Practical
Weighing just 110 grams per square metre, Budget tarpaulins are among the lightest in our range. This makes them easy to handle, fold and store, while still being strong enough for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications.
Some of the most common uses include:
-
Covering garden furniture and BBQs
-
Using as a ground sheet for DIY or outdoor projects
-
Collecting leaves and garden waste
-
Acting as a decorating or dust sheet
-
Protecting car interiors during transport or repairs
Their versatility makes them a handy item to keep in the shed, garage or boot of your car.
Secure and Durable Design
Each Budget tarpaulin features eyelets spaced every metre, allowing you to secure it quickly and easily using bungee cords, rope or cable ties. The hem is reinforced with a plastic rope, while the internal polythene weave adds extra strength and helps prevent tearing.
For added flexibility, these tarpaulins are dual coloured, with blue on one side and olive green on the other. This gives you the option to choose the most suitable colour depending on your surroundings or personal preference.
Wide Range of Sizes Available
With 23 different sizes available, you can find a Budget tarpaulin to suit almost any task, whether you need a small cover for household use or a larger sheet for garden or outdoor protection.
Need Something More Heavy Duty?
If your project requires extra strength or longer term durability, you may want to explore our Topgrade or Monotex tarpaulins. These higher specification options are designed for more demanding applications while still offering excellent value.
If you are unsure which tarpaulin is best for your needs, our team is always happy to help you choose the right grade.
