Roofing & Construction Tarpaulins buying guide
Roofing tarpaulins buy you time when a roof is open to the weather. A heavy duty roof tarpaulin keeps rain out during a repair, a re-roof or after storm damage. This range also covers the rest of the site, with scaffold sheeting, flame retardant covers and sheets for stacked materials.
What weight tarpaulin do you need for a roof?
- A repair that lasts a few days: the 185gsm brown and blue tarpaulin or the 200gsm heavy duty tarpaulin
- A re-roof or several weeks exposed: the 250gsm green and brown tarpaulin or the 270gsm black and silver tarpaulin
- A long job on an exposed site: the 350gsm blue and beige tarpaulin
For a big roof, the 200gsm sheet comes in sizes up to 35m x 20m.
Covers for the rest of the site
Scaffold sheeting
170gsm clear scaffold sheeting comes on 2m x 45m and 3m x 45m rolls and lets daylight onto the scaffold. Pair it with debris netting where you need to contain dust and debris.
Flame retardant sheeting
The 200gsm flame retardant tarpaulin meets CPAI 84 Section 6 and carries a stitched-on certificate. Flame retardant does not mean fireproof.
Materials and plant
Cover stacked materials with the 200gsm super white tarpaulin or the mesh-reinforced 170gsm green mono cover. For long runs, cut the 110gsm blue tarpaulin roll to length.
How to fit a tarpaulin on a roof
- Choose a sheet that reaches well past the damage and over the ridge.
- Fix the edges under timber battens. Do not rely on the eyelets alone.
- Pull the sheet tight so water runs off and cannot pool.
- Stay off the roof in wind and rain, and call a roofer if you are unsure.
