Tarpaulin

[welger rp 220]

Can anyone recommend a company that does good quality waterproof heavy duty thick tarpaulins?

Looking for different sizes to put over a few machines/tractors over winter

Do you mean woven PE, or the stuff that truck curtain sides are made from?

 

[welger rp 220]

Anything quality really aslong as it keeps the rain out..The cheap tarps are a waste of time

I have bought some very good tarpaulins and wind break nets from a company in the West Country called Adams Tarpaulins. Good service and fair prices.

Yes, Adams tarpaulins are a good company, in Wiveliscombe, they have done several bits and pieces for me and I have bought curtain side material from them.

Bradshaws/Tarpaulins Direct, do one called a Profi sheet. It's the strongest I've seen, and green, so blends in on farm.

Another recommendation for Adams Tarpaulins.
Got all of ours from them.

Yes I guess they would do you know of any?

try your local truck breakers , they some time turn up at our local sale dont make much , they can be quite heavy so cut them down to help with moving about

Another vote for Adams if you need to go new. Local to us.
Will make to measure.

No, Mrs PBH has always done the running.

Anyone used allplas for tarpaulin. They say they use 610gsm pvc. Sound good and reasonably priced but are I better to pay a bit more for a 630gsm from a specialist manufacturer.

What did you find. Did you get sorted?

I got a used curtain side from a man that has about 10 lorries. I think it's 25-30ft long, it might have been 50 euro
A 40ft used curtain side is about 100 euro around me. If someone buys a used trailer, they might change the curtain side to suit their colour and name.
Ask around the local hauliers.

I rang the nearest one to me, they're based in Northern Ireland, he said they were in big demand, didn't think he had any and said he would ring me back. He rang me back and said he had none, told me to ring back in week, I asked him how much they would be, said they would be 100stg plus VAT so about 150 euro incl VAT.
