22 oz Black Vinyl Tarp — Super Heavy Duty, Waterproof, 70+ Sizes
The AtlasShield® Pro 22 oz Black Vinyl Tarp is the step up from 18 oz for applications where sustained abrasion, prolonged outdoor exposure, or heavy mechanical contact will destroy a lighter tarp. At 22% heavier than our 18 oz line, with the same stainless steel grommets and heat-welded seams, it's built for flatbed trucking loads, heavy equipment covers, marine dock covers, and industrial containment — anywhere a standard tarp is already failing. Available in 7 colors and over 70 standard sizes; custom fabrication to order with FR options available.

Where This Tarp Gets Used
- Flatbed trucking & freight carriers — DOT-grade load covers that hold up under highway speeds, tie-down abrasion, and weeks of outdoor exposure without delaminating
- Heavy equipment & machinery storage — excavators, compressors, generators, and cranes parked outside for extended periods in high-UV or high-rainfall environments
- Marine & waterfront operations — dock covers, barge tarps, and equipment protection in salt-air environments where UV degradation and corrosion are accelerated
- Industrial containment & petrochemical facilities — covers for equipment pads, secondary containment liners, and turnaround staging where abrasion and chemical contact are constant
- Construction & demolition contractors — long-term weather enclosures, debris containment, and material storage covers that need to survive an entire project without replacement
