Built from 18 oz PVC-coated polyester with 22-mil fabric thickness, rust-proof stainless steel grommets, and heat-welded seams — fabricated factory-direct in the USA with no distributor markup. Available in 7 colors and over 50 standard sizes; custom fabrication to order.

Who Specifies This Tarp

- DOT & highway contractors — fire-rated tarps for job sites requiring FR certification under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 hot work provisions

- Event & tent rental companies — meets venue and city fire marshal FR requirements for temporary structure liners and ground covers
Why AtlasShield® Outperforms Distributor Brands
- Rust-Proof Stainless Steel Grommets — Not Brass. Our spur stainless steel grommets will never corrode, rust, or fail. Competitors use brass grommets that corrode over time and seize under load.
- 2" Heavy-Duty Webbing Sewn Into Every Edge. Reinforced with 2" sewn webbing on all sides — competitors only double-stitch the fabric hem.
- NFPA 701 Certified — Standard, Not an Upgrade. Every tarp ships FR-certified at no extra charge. Most competitors charge a premium or don't offer FR at all.
- 22 Mil Fabric Thickness. 10% thicker than the 20 mil tarps sold by competing distributors.
- Fabricated in the USA. Every tarp is cut, sewn, and finished in our own Louisiana facility — not outsourced.
