270gsm Tarpaulins buying guide
270gsm tarpaulins are our toughest polyethylene sheets below the super heavy grades. They are made for covers that take real punishment: flat roofs, boats, plant and ground sheets that get walked on. Choose from three colourways.
What is different about 270gsm?
A 270 gsm tarpaulin is thicker than 200gsm and has a denser weave, so it resists punctures and lasts longer in exposed places. It is still polyethylene, which keeps it lighter and cheaper than PVC.
Three 270gsm colourways
Black and silver
The 270gsm black and silver tarpaulin has a 16x16 weave, triple-rivet reinforced corners and 12mm aluminium eyelets every 50cm. It has the widest size range, with 12 sizes from 1.2m x 1.8m to 12m x 15m.
Green and silver
The 270gsm green and silver tarpaulin is HDPE with a 16x16 weave and heat-sealed seams. It is UV-stabilised, rotproof and shrinkproof. There are 11 sizes, from 1.83m x 1.22m to 6.1m x 9.14m.
Black and gold
The 270gsm black and gold tarpaulin has heat-sealed seams and metal eyelets every 50cm. Its 11 sizes run from 1.83m x 3.05m to 6.1m x 9.14m.
Using 270gsm as a ground sheet
This weight copes with foot traffic, so it works under marquees, on building sites and beneath stored materials. Lay it flat and clear sharp debris first.
