Made to Measure Tarpaulins : The Ultimate Safeguard for Your Outdoors
Whatever you're covering, garden furniture, scaffolding, a flatbed lorry, or a hay bale stack, a rough "one size fits most" tarpaulin rarely does the job properly. Made-to-measure tarpaulins from Covers & All are cut to your exact measurements for a precise fit, helping prevent loose fabric, wind flapping, and gaps that can let rain and debris underneath. Built for long-lasting outdoor protection, they provide the fit and durability needed for demanding UK conditions.
Whether you're a homeowner protecting garden furniture, a builder covering materials on-site, a farmer safeguarding crops, or a transport company securing a load, bespoke tarpaulins provide dependable coverage for a wide range of applications. Choose the right fabric and configuration to help keep your belongings dry, shaded, and protected through changing British weather.
What Makes Our Bespoke Tarpaulins Worth It?
- Water Resistant: You need not worry about the rain spoiling your tarpaulin as the fabric options are well-equipped and shed any water to ensure that the waterproof cover stays in a good condition even after heavy rains.
- UV Resistant: The fabric holds up well against sun exposure, worth having for anything left out through a UK summer.
- Tear and Abrasion Resistant: A reinforced build that handles working sites and rougher handling without giving way.
- Secure Grommets: Rust-free brass or aluminium grommets, spaced at regular intervals for a reliable tie-down.
- Attachment Options: Choose from bungee cords, rope loops, ratchet straps, or push clips, depending on your setup.
- Reinforced Seams: Double-stitched, heat-welded seams in our custom covers UK add extra strength against the weather.
- Fire Retardant: Fire retardant variants are available for events, public venues, and industrial sites.
- Personalisation: Add your company logo, name, or custom text on commercial orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do you determine the size of a tarp?
Ans: To determine the size of a tarp, measure from the top of the object down to your desired drape length, double this measurement, and then add that result to both the length and width of the object.
2. What is the most suitable type of tarpaulin?
Ans: Tarps primarily made from polyethylene are more durable, stronger, and offer superior waterproofing compared to other materials like canvas.
3. What is the best color for a tarpaulin?
Ans: Black tarps are ideal as they absorb heat to keep covered objects cool and typically feature UV coatings for enhanced longevity in sunlight which makes them more durable than other colors.
4. How do I measure for a custom tarpaulin?
Ans: Measure the length and width of your equipment or furniture that you wish to cover, then decide how far down the sides you'd like the tarp to drape. Enter the dimenions on our website and we will take care of the rest.
5. What is the most suitable tarpaulin for UK weather?

6. What colours are available and which is best?
Ans: Black, blue, green, silver/grey, and clear vinyl are all available, with custom colours on request. Black is generally the most popular, since it absorbs heat and usually comes with a UV coating that extends its lifespan in the sun.
7. Are your tarpaulins suitable for scaffolding or construction sites?
Ans: Yes, our heavy duty tarpaulins and PVC/vinyl tarpaulins are built for exactly this kind of use, with reinforced seams, tear resistance, and secure grommet tie-downs. They are suited to working sites, and mesh tarpaulins are commonly used for scaffolding debris netting.
8. Can I use a tarpaulin to cover my allotment or raised beds?
Ans: Definitely. Heavy duty tarpaulins in poly and mesh fabrics both work well, protecting crops and soil from the elements while mesh options also double up as windbreaks.
