Frequently Asked Questions
Can tarpaulin be used for roofing?
Tarpaulin can be used as a temporary roofing cover to protect a building from the elements during renovations or emergency repairs. Super heavy weight tarpaulins are particularly effective due to their durability, waterproofing, and UV resistance. They provide reliable protection against rain, wind, and sun, making them ideal for safeguarding roofs, unfinished structures, or damaged areas.
Can you cover a shed roof with tarpaulin?
Covering a shed roof with tarpaulin is a cost-effective way to protect it from rain, snow, and sun damage. Super heavy weight tarpaulins offer long-lasting protection, while medium weight tarpaulins can be used for temporary coverage. Ensure the tarp is securely fastened with rope or bungee cords to prevent wind damage. Tarpaflex offers a range of sizes and types suitable for shed roof protection.
Can I put tarp on my roof to stop leaks?
A waterproof tarp can be used to temporarily stop roof leaks. In emergency situations, using a super heavy weight tarpaulin as a roofing cover is an effective way to prevent water from entering your home until permanent repairs can be made. Make sure the tarp is securely fastened to avoid wind uplift, and ensure it covers the leaking area entirely for maximum protection.
How long can I leave tarp on a roof?
A tarpaulin can be left on a roof for several weeks to a few months, depending on the tarp's quality and weather conditions. Super heavy weight tarpaulins are designed for long-term use, offering durability and UV resistance. However, for safety and effectiveness, it's best to inspect the tarp regularly for any wear or damage and replace it if necessary. If you're looking for a long-term solution, consider repairing or replacing the roof as soon as possible.
Tarpaflex also supplies dust sheets, netting, hessian bags, rope, and bungee cords to help secure your tarpaulin for roofing or other protective needs.
