Help Save Our Planet

Help Save Our Planet: Are you a responsible consumer? Every product we buy sends a message to the manufacturer. If we insist on the very best quality, that's what the market will supply. If we insist on the lowest price, we will most likely get the poorest quality! Rather than a product that lasts for years, it may need replacement after a relatively short time. This means it will have to be made again which results in more pollution, more waste of resources and higher cost over the long term. Responsible consumers can help cut pollution dramatically in a very short time: Imagine, if every product ever made lasted twice as long, manufacturing pollution would be halved. Add to this the pollution created by producing and transporting the raw materials and distributing the end product. There is also the cost to the consumer in the wasted time and energy involved in returning faulty items for repair or refund.

Our Philosophy: Make it right; make it once! Pay the price for quality so the Earth doesn't pay the price for rubbish!

Quality Guaranteed

Tarps made to a Standard, not a price: The most important factor to consider is the resistance to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) damage. Many imported Polyethelene Tarps last less than 12 months in the sun. Econotarps Extra Heavy Duty Tarps have a 3-year UV Pro-Rata Warranty but in practice last much longer. Other features are reinforced solid brass eyelets spaced at close intervals,  a thick waterproof lamination to resist abrasion, and strong UV resistant black thread on reinforcing. Most of our Canvas Tarps are made from a 50% polyester, 50% cotton blend. It's more expensive but a high polyester content gives the material exceptional strength and is more UV resistant. 100% cotton canvas is very weak by comparison. Our PVC Tarps are also high quality and exceptionally strong.

Features

  • Black base fabric, which blocks light completely for maximum sunlight resistance.
  • Vivid white top lamination reflects sunlight (Much cooler than silver - surface is 14 deg. C cooler on 36 deg. day).
  • Tree green bottom lamination for camouflage..
  • All eyelets are solid brass (not just brass coated) with spikes to grip the material and reinforced with 2 layers of material using strong black, UV resistant thread.
  • Econotarps Extra Heavy Duty tarps are 25% heavier, with a thicker lamination than most "Extra Heavy Duty" tarps on the market, giving more wear resistance and better water proofing. Weight: 250grams per square metre.
  • By purchasing a quality Econotarp, you are helping the environment because you will only need to buy 1 tarp, not perhaps 2. 3 or more over time. Note: Our Extra Heavy Duty polyethelene tarps are the only ones made to our high standard.
  • Polyethelene tarps are recyclable

  • The growth of algae in pools
