Canvas Tarp

At A1 Tarps, our canvas tarps are UV, water and mildew resistant. They are a great item to keep on hand because you never know when you might need one.

In Case of Emergencies

One reason you should have canvas tarp readily available in your car or home is in case of a natural disaster or emergency. If you find yourself broken down on the side of the road or stranded somewhere, a tarp can be used as a blanket to help keep you warm. If you're out hiking and someone gets injured, a canvas tarp can be turned into a makeshift gurney to get them to a safe spot. A brightly colored tarp could also help catch the attention of a passerby.

Are canvas tarps waterproof? They are treated to be water resistant, and that's why they are good to keep with your emergency kit. Following a hurricane or large storm, tarps can be used to cover damaged areas. When roofs and windows are damaged, they leave your home and belongings vulnerable to wind and debris. A sturdy tarp can be a temporary fix until a professional is able to come by.
