By Ken Marlborough, Tue Dec 6th

Tarpaulins (or tarps) come in many different types of materials,including mesh. Mesh is a fabric characterized by evenly spacedholes between the threads of the material. Mesh Tarps areusually made of synthetic materials like polyethylenemicrofilament or vinyl. Mesh tarps are an alternative to themore common canvas tarps. The cost of a mesh tarp starts around$15, but varies greatly depending on the gauge of the mesh andthe size of the tarp. There are several uses for mesh tarps,from covering truck beds, to providing shade, to coveringswimming pools during the winter months.

Mesh tarps are perfect for covering cargo in truck beds. Sincemesh tarps are constructed with small holes between the threadsof fabric, they have less wind resistance than some other typesof tarps. This is an advantage when hauling sand, gravel, orother substances in a truck. Mesh tarps can be tied down overthe bed of a truck securing the cargo underneath.

Mesh tarps are great for providing shade on sunny days. They canbe used as awnings and hung off the side of a building, or builtinto freestanding canopy type structures. Since mesh lets somewind pass through it, it is less likely to blow over than manyother types of material.

Covering is

another use of mesh tarps. Mesh isextremely lightweight, allowing for easy setup. It has a highresistance to UV rays and does not allow water to collect on itssurface. One disadvantage to using a mesh tarp to cover aswimming pool is that it may scratch or tear more easily thansome other materials.

Mesh tarps can be used in a variety of situations. They are morelightweight than many materials but are just as strong. Theirlack of wind resistance is especially noteworthy.
