From rugged farms to coastal transport, a heavy-duty tarp is indispensable—but not all tarpaulins are equal. Here’s how to select the right one based on technical attributes.
Material types and properties
For Kiwi heavy-duty use—farm silage, truck covers in rain and wind, coastal storage—PVC tarps are best suited.
Thickness and GSM/mils

Made in Pukekohe, our PVC tarps are tailored to Kiwi needs—featuring welded seams, stainless eyelets , and UV-resistant coatings.
Ranging from 500 to 900 GSM, they combine waterproofing, toughness, and longevity
