While our homeland has many things going for it as a holiday destination, the weather simply isn’t one of them. For all of those looking forward to a British camping holiday this year, and constantly checking the weather forecast, a simple tarpaulin is the answer. Economy tarpaulins from Tarpaflex Ltd. start at only 99 pence so they’ll suit the tightest budget. While Tarpaflex stocks all types of tarps, from flame retardant tarpaulins to PVC tarpaulins, their economy range is one of their best sellers.
One of the many uses of these economy tarpaulins is for groundcover or shelter when camping, and if recent reports are anything to go by, tarpaulin sales are set to boom for this very use. That’s because this year more Britons than ever before are going to be holidaying in the U.K. and campsites across the British Isles are reporting a rise in bookings.
A survey carried out by foreign exchange company FairFX.com found that 57% of British consumers are cutting the amount they’re spending on holidays in this tough economic climate, with the annual beach break abroad looking far less appealing from a spending point of view.
While camping in this country is a great low-cost holiday option, the less than reliable weather could put a dampener on the proceedings. That’s where the humble tarpaulin comes into its own. Lightweight, easy to handle and 100% waterproof, tarpaulins are a vital part of the camping kit, and the protection from the elements that they provide will make for happy campers whatever the weather.
Tarpaflex’s economy tarpaulins range in size from only 1.2m by 1.8m to a massive 12m by 20m, and their malleability means they can be used underneath tents to provide ground cover or over a pitch to protect from the rain. In fact, as they are rot-proof, shrink-proof, UV-protected and flexible to minus 20 degrees Celsius, tarpaulins from Tarpaflex can handle just about anything.
Campers wanting to truly blend in with their surroundings can choose one of Tarpaflex’s camouflage tarpaulins, with ‘camo’ printed on one side and dark green on the other, or simply go for the green tarpaulins that will be just as pleasing on the eye in a camping environment.
Tarpaulins come in handy before the camper has even left their driveway to set out on holiday as they’re ideal to cover the car rack and keep all the family’s luggage in place and dry as a bone on the journey. Indeed, there are hundreds of uses for them, from storage to protection, in construction and when decorating.
Tarpaflex Ltd. is one of the country's leading suppliers of tarpaulins and coverings (such as dust sheets and debris netting, etc.). A family business with a management boasting over 50 years experience in the poly tarpaulin industry, it stocks over 110 different variations of size, colour and specification.
