Parachute Tarps for Flatbeds
Parachute tarps are your ultra lightweight cargo protection solution. Made from a combination of durable PVC-coated 18 oz. vinyl and 6 oz. black nylon airbag / parachute packcloth, these tarps are easier to transport and set up than traditional tarps!
The tear-resistant 18 oz. vinyl is used for the top and the flap, providing better protection for the top of the load. It's heavy-duty, providing UV-, water-, and mildew-resistance.
The sides are made from the nylon. It's thinner than most other tarp fabrics, meaning parachute material tarps are more flexible. This is particularly evident - and useful - as the temperatures drop.
Parachute tarps come with three rows of zinc-plated D-rings for secure connections with rubber tarp straps, rubber rope, and other tie down equipment.
Protecting Your Airbag Tarps
Make sure to use corner protectors to prevent cargo from damaging your tarp. Since the nylon is thinner, it's more susceptible to cuts and abrasion than other materials.
Both fabrics can be damaged by sharp objects, so it's important to use edge protection to matter which section of the tarp it's touching.
To cut down on abrasion, make sure the tarp is securely tied down, with minimal flapping in the wind. This can damage the tarp as you drive.
