Full Description

Traditionally Lumber Tarps are available 3 ways 8' drop, 6' drop, or 3 piece. The standard for an 8' Drop Lumber Tarp is 24' wide by 27' long with an 8' flap sewn onto one end. It will cover an 8' wide load that is 8' high on your trailer (8' + 8' +8' = 24'). The standard for a 6' Drop Lumber Tarp is a 20' wide by 27' long with a 6' flap sewn onto one end. It will cover an 8' wide load that is 6' high on your trailer (8 + 6 + 6 = 20'). You will actually order two of these to cover a full load and they will overlap each other by about 2' on a full 52’ load. The flap is to cover the end of your load not covered by the tarp. 3 piece tarps are less common but some drivers prefer it because each tarp is lighter weight. Basically it is three 24' x 18' tarps. Two with 8' flaps on one end and one without that will all overlap each other to cover an entire load of 8' wide by 8' high by 52' long.

The outer edge of the tarp is folded over (hemmed) and a 2" webbing is double stitched in to reinforce the edges of the tarp. Brass grommets are machine punched through the center of the 2" webbing every 2' all the way around the outer edge of the tarp. 3 rows of webbing are double stitched into each side of the tarp (and the flap) with a dee ring back stitched in every 2'.

Lumber Tarps built by Lookout Mountain Tarp are made completely out of 18oz polyester reinforced waterproof vinyl. Some sellers will use 14oz or 16oz on part or all of the tarp to keep the cost and weight down but our experience has been that a properly strapped 18oz tarp will last almost twice as long as tarps made of lighter weight material.  Plus the 18oz material is thick enough that it can easily be repaired to as good as new should you get holes or rips in your tarp.
