Clear Tarpaulins

Our range of clear tarpaulins and clear PVC sheets cater to all your covering needs, offering options from medium to heavy weight. These versatile products are ideal for projects requiring light penetration while keeping the area underneath dry. Clear tarpaulins are especially popular for covering animal enclosures, as they allow natural light to pass through while providing full waterproof protection. All our clear tarpaulins are waterproof, shrink-proof, rot-proof, and UV protected, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Each tarpaulin is fitted with 12mm aluminium eyelets at 1-metre intervals, making them easy to secure. Our clear mono tarpaulins also feature plastic corner reinforcements for added strength. Thanks to the 3x3 multifilament grid, clear mono cover tarpaulins allow approximately 70% light transmission, whereas our glass clear PVC sheets let all light through, making them perfect for applications where maximum visibility is needed.

Clear PVC sheets are ideal for greenhouse covers, patio enclosures, and temporary windows, providing full transparency and robust weather resistance. In contrast, clear tarpaulins offer a slightly diffused light transmission, making them suitable for situations where reduced glare is preferred.

For ease of use and to avoid unnecessary strain on the tarpaulin, we recommend securing them with elasticated bungee cords instead of rope. Please note that while our clear PVC sheets are produced to finished sizes, our clear mono tarpaulins are cut sizes, meaning their actual dimensions may be slightly smaller than stated. 

 

Whether you need clear tarpaulins for outdoor projects or clear PVC sheets for maximum light transmission, we have the perfect solution for you. Tarpaflex also offers bungee cords to help secure your new clear tarpaulin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a clear tarpaulin used for?

Clear tarpaulins are used for applications where visibility and light penetration are required while still providing weather protection. They are commonly used for covering animal enclosures, greenhouses, temporary shelters, garden furniture, and market stalls. Their waterproof and UV-resistant properties make them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

What is the difference between clear tarpaulin and clear PVC sheets?

Clear tarpaulins, such as clear mono tarpaulins, typically have a reinforced grid pattern that provides strength while allowing around 70% light transmission. In contrast, clear PVC sheets are completely transparent, letting all light through, making them suitable for greenhouse panels, patio enclosures, and temporary windows. The choice depends on whether you need full clarity or a slightly diffused effect with extra durability.

Are clear tarpaulins waterproof?

All of Tarpaflex’s clear tarpaulins are fully waterproof. They are designed to keep rain and moisture out while allowing natural light in, making them a great choice for protecting plants, work areas, and outdoor furniture from the elements.

Do clear tarpaulins block UV rays?

Most clear tarpaulins are UV-stabilised, meaning they provide some protection against UV rays while preventing the material from degrading under prolonged sun exposure. However, they still allow sunlight through, which makes them ideal for greenhouses and other applications that benefit from natural light.

How do I secure a clear tarpaulin?

Clear tarpaulins come with reinforced eyelets, usually spaced at 1-metre intervals. To avoid unnecessary strain or tearing, it's best to use elasticated bungee cords instead of rope. This allows for some flexibility in high winds and reduces tension on the tarpaulin.

Can clear tarpaulins be cut to size?

Clear mono tarpaulins are sold as cut sizes, meaning the stated dimensions refer to the size before hemming, so the actual size may be slightly smaller. If you need an exact finished size, consider clear PVC sheets, which are cut to precise dimensions, you can also explore our size guide for more information on cut sizes.
