A traditional style 100% cotton canvas tarpaulin made from single filled cotton duck. These tarpaulins are imported from India, and are wax processed to make them water resistant. Seams and hems are single-stitched, and brass eyelets are spaced at 2ft intervals (60cms) in reinforced tabs. The weight of the proofed canvas is 18oz, or approx 610gsm.

Fabricated from a natural fabric, these hardy tarps are breathable; however please bear in mind that a minimal amount of shrinkage can occur where canvas tarpaulins are subject to varying temperatures. Canvas tarpaulins will require re-treating after exposure to water, in order to maintain their resistant properties. For more information on our Canvas range, click here.

Our tan canvas is also available on a roll, size 6ft x 80ft / 1.8m x 24m. Popular with tarpaulin fabricators, the Canvas roll is sold without eyelets, hems or seams. We can provide 10oz unproofed fabric, or 18oz wax-proofed.


These tarpaulins are wax-proofed and have been dyed, and so there can be a risk of colour transference upon application - please take caution. We do not recommend that these tarpaulins are suspended solely by the eyelets if using as an outdoor canopy. It is highly recommended to use a ridge line, or a couple ridge lines on larger sizes, made of rope or bungee which will help support the weight of the tarp. This will also help with a run-off of water as water can pool if tarps are suspended only by the eyelets, adding extra pressure and weight. Use as many of the eyelets provided and install additional eyelets if required, especially if there are stress points.

Please Note: our 18oz canvas tarpaulin sizes are finished sizes however there may be a slight variation in size during the fabrication of the tarp. However we do not expect the finished size to be more than 5 cms shorter. Once the tarp has been weathered there may be slight shrinkage in the material. Most canvas tarps will have a seam as they are fabricated by stitching.
