Noting that modern greenhouses typically feature a framed structure with a double sloped, single sloped, or arched roof, enclosed either by glass panes or transparent Tarps/Sheets to allow the essential transmission of natural light.  Clear materials such as polyethylene and vinyl have emerged as cost sensitive, reliable, easy-to-use, durable, and safe options for enclosing Greenhouses.

Polyethylene, often referred to as Poly, is a popular type of plastic widely used in manufacturing Clear Carps. It is lightweight and durable, making it an excellent choice for greenhouses. However, it may not be as transparent as other materials, potentially limiting desired clear views.  Other options are available, though Clear Tarps are commonly made from either polyethylene or vinyl, with each material offering its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the appropriate material for your greenhouse applications.

Another prevalent option for Clear Tarps is vinyl. Clear Vinyl Tarps are more transparent than polyethylene being as clear as glass. As a result. Clear Vinyl is also a durable material that withstands adverse weather conditions such as wind, rain, snow, debris, UV rays, tears, and abrasions. While it remains relatively lightweight and easy to handle, it is slightly heavier and less pliable compared to poly fabric Tarps.  Consumers can explore options, as follows

Tarp Manufacturer Focused on the Best Uses for Truck Tarps in the Transportation Industry

Tarps Now® Releases Information focused on Truck Tarps of all Types

St. Joseph, Michigan, USA, 2023-Feb-23 — /EPR INDUSTRIAL NEWS/ — With nearly 39 million trucks registered for business purposes in the United States, The American Truck Association mentions that registered trucks move close to 11 billion tons of freight per year.  Items shipped upon trucks account for over 80% percent of the county’s freight invoicing.  The stated statistics help explain why around 63 percent all tarp industry sales are connected to the transportation sector.  In short, the need to protect truck freight is vital to the industry.

To meet these needs, tarp manufacturer Tarps Now® is pleased to release an informational guide entitled Best Uses for Truck Tarps in the Transportation Industry.  This circular is designed to help explore more information about the materials, features and specific Truck Tarp products available to meet and exceed specific needs.  By example, when selecting a suitable truck tarp, one would consider the type of truck that the covering would be used to protect in one or more uses.  These might include pickups, flatbeds, trailer and semi cargo areas. Additionally, the type of loads being moved, the potential types of weather conditions along the way; and any other challenges that might impact the truck bed size and layout or the dimensions of the freight.

In addition, other tarp accessories function to safeguard the items in route from the rough and damaging elements. These are usually positioned directly on top or just above the freight by safely securing them through the grommets or eyelets and D-rings by fastening with rubber straps, cables, ropes, or chains. The strong fabric utilized in the Truck Tarps will also shield the cargo from the harmful UV rays in sunlight.  These aid in keeping the goods in route or are stored in the yard from getting torn, ripped, scratched, nicked, dented, or other issues. A well secured Truck Cover will also help avert the loads from shifting, thus ensuring that the freight arrives at the targeted destination in the very same condition it departed in.  A list of such materials follows:

Tarps Now® Issues Guide Focusing Benefits of Hay Tarp Use to Protect a Vital Agricultural Commodity

St. Joseph, Michigan, USA, 2022-Jun-09 — /EPR INDUSTRIAL NEWS/ — Tarps Now® is pleased to issue a guide focused on helping farms and agricultural firms with a guide focused on the benefits and uses of Hay Tarps. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in its 2022 Prospective Plantings Report that came out earlier this spring, estimates that the United States acreage dedicated to dry hay production might be the lowest since 1907. This prediction in the report is based on producer surveys generated in the first half of March.

According to the Prospective Plantings Report, United States hay producers plan on harvesting approximately 50.3 million acres in 2022. This is down 1 percent from 2021, which has the potential to be the lowest in 115 years. With less hay predicted to be on the market, and inflation of energy and a wide range of commodities are negatively impacting agricultural producers, protecting with Hay Tarps is vital for cost effective support of livestock.

Effectiveness and efficiency around any farm operations in all areas of the business is critical as margins become tighter and tighter as sourcing for materials and supplies is tougher and fuel prices are astronomical. This is the case when protecting and storing hay, which is the third largest crop in the United States in terms of harvest acres. Upwards of 25 percent hay crop losses can be incurred from exposure and weathering.

Hay Tarps are engineered using heavy-duty polyethylene that is completely waterproof as well as UV ray, mildew, and rot resistant. In addition, Hay Tarps help eliminate moisture buildup that is vital in keeping the hay in the best condition possible. These materials create breathability, allowing air to circulate, which helps moisture to also move freely. If water and moisture does not have the room to evaporate, it will accumulate and seriously affect the hay bales. Details on these products are as follows:
