If you are in the enviable position of owning a boat, you’ll already know that storage is a major consideration for any yacht or boat owner. Boat ownership is an expensive business at the best of times, but year-round mooring can make it prohibitively costly. That’s why many boat owners choose to store their boat on dry land when it’s not in use, either in a garage or on a driveway. However, even the fitted boat covers that protect from damage in storage are expensive, costing from £100 upwards. Tarpaulins from Tarpaflex Ltd. provide a low-cost solution to this without sacrificing any of the protection.
Over 127,000 visitors attended the 2008 Collins Stewart London Boat Show at ExCeL in January of this year - more than ever before. There was also a rise in sales at the event this year, evidence of the nation’s enduring love affair with boats. But in this time of cutbacks and credit crunches, even boat owners want ways to make savings. For those who will be storing their boats until the price of fuel becomes less ridiculous, or just for those who want to keep their prize possession out of the rain when not being used, an economy tarpaulin from Tarpaflex is a great low-cost alternative to a fitted boat cover.
Tarpaflex economy tarpaulins offer perfect coverage and protection for any size or type of boat, from simply dinghy to awe-inspiring yacht. They are 100% waterproof to prevent seepage from rainfall, no matter how torrential, and they are both rot-proof and shrink-proof so that they can be re-used winter after winter. They even remain flexible to a staggering minus 20 degrees Celsius, which means your precious seafaring vessel will even withstand an ice-storm, potentially saving thousands in damages with a budget purchase.
Boats are also stored through fair weather too, of course, and these tarpaulins are just as handy in protecting against sun damage, thanks to their protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays. Every tarpaulin is made from a polyethylene material which is then laminated on both sides with high density polyethylene. This makes the tarpaulins tough and durable while still being
lightweight enough to handle easily, even over large, bulky areas such as boats and cars. Indeed, the specifications of these budget tarpaulins make them just as ideal for covering cars, stalls, roofs or areas under construction.
The uses - and the range - of Tarpaflex tarpaulins do not end there. The family-owned business that has become one of the UK’s leading online retailers of tarpaulins supply every type of polyethylene covering, from flame retardant tarpaulins to PVC tarpaulins. Some are perfect for outdoor pursuits, such as the camouflage tarpaulins and green tarpaulins, whereas others, like the glass clear tarpaulins, are widely used on market stalls. To see for yourself how tarpaulins from Tarpaflex can come in handy at work or at home, on boats or on cars, visit www.tarpaflex.co.uk.

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.
