Built by a Truck Owner
After years of owning dump trucks, we noticed every tarp failed in the same places — so we redesigned them, reinforcing the high-stress areas exactly where failures happen.

This didn't start in a catalog. It started with a driver who was tired of replacing tarps that tore in the same spots load after load. We reinforce those exact high-stress areas — strengthening the wear points instead of simply adding more material.
Premium materials only
Gorilla Mesh, Lumite Mesh, 24 oz and 38 oz vinyl. No cheap materials. Ever. Material is matched to the application, not to the lowest cost.
Every material, side by side
Pick by what you haul, not by what sounds toughest. This is the whole line in one table — the comparison nobody else in this business publishes.
| Material | Best for hauling | Waterproof | Fabric | Throw weight | Price range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Asphalt, aggregate | Yes | 22 oz (unconfirmed) | Heavy | $199–$385 |
| Heavy-Duty Vinyl (Uso Rudo) | Asphalt, aggregate, daily | Yes | 38 oz (unconfirmed) | Heaviest | $375–$430 |
| Lumite Mesh | Asphalt | No | Knitted mesh | Lightest | $199–$229 |
| Mesh | Aggregate, gravel | No | Standard mesh | Light | $195–$625 |
| Heavy-Duty Mesh (Uso Rudo) | Scrap, demolition | No | Reinforced mesh | Medium | $355 |
Ounce weights marked unconfirmed are being verified against the mill spec before we state them as fact. Price ranges cover every size we make in that material — see the product pages for the exact size you need.
Built for heavy-duty work
Longer life, lower cost over time
Many customers tell us our tarps last two to three times longer than the tarps they previously bought.
One of our tarps may cost up to 20% more — but replacing one tarp instead of two or three is usually the better investment.
Warranty
Every IronTarp product carries a one-year warranty on our workmanship — seams, hems, grommets, and stitching. It does not cover UV, wear, wind, or abrasion from the load, because nothing honestly can. See the warranty page for exactly what is and isn't covered, and how long each material actually lasts in Central Texas sun.
Warranty →Why ounce weight matters
Vinyl tarps are rated by the weight of a square yard of material — the higher the ounce number, the thicker and more abrasion-resistant the fabric. We run vinyl all the way up to 38 oz, a weight no local competitor stocks.
Heavier isn't always the answer for every load — mesh breathes and throws lighter — but when a job punishes a tarp, that extra weight is what stands between your freight and the road.
