Re-Used Vinyl Billboard Signs Make Strong Tarps
Need a strong waterproof vinyl tarp? How about an industrial strength 14 by 48-ft. for only $50? Billboard Tarps re-uses former vinyl billboard signs and sells them as tarps at deep discount prices. Once a billboard is expired and taken down off the frame, Billboard Tarps has the exclusive national contract to get them. You can buy them one at a time, by the pallet, or in truckload quantities. Customers include farmers, contractors, lumber yards, commercial pond builders, steel mills, government agencies, schools, storage facilities, marinas, winter guard gym floor covers, and many more.
Many of the large billboards that you see driving down the highway are made of an industrial strength material called FlexVinyl. This material is 3-ply with PVC vinyl on the 2 outside layers and a polyester mesh material in the middle. The billboard vinyl comes in weights of 9 and 13 to 16 oz. per square yard. (The typical polyethylene blue tarps weigh 3 to 4 ounces per square yard). The thickness ranges from 11 to 17 mil. These also have a UV protective layer and are anti-mildew. The material is waterproof and is designed to withstand years of hot, cold, wet and dry weather. The middle mesh layer makes it tear and fray resistant. “These are really tough pieces of vinyl that have many applications.”
Billboard Tarps also carries new vinyl tarps constructed with the same heavy-duty vinyl used for billboard signage. They are available in black or white, and have even longer lifespans than the reused material. Available in weights including 9, 13 and 20 oz., this new vinyl material is ideal for applications such as pond lining, hoop buildings, hay tarps, roof covers and more. Through their relationships with vinyl manufacturers across the country, Billboard Tarps is able to provide new vinyl at prices nearly as low as their reused material.
“Due to the high quality of the material, these vinyl tarps originally cost about $600 to $3,000 to manufacture, depending on the size. We sell them for only a fraction of that cost. Also, by re-using this material, you can lower your carbon footprint by eliminating additional energy needed for manufacturing new product. It’s great to find alternative uses for the material instead of throwing them into a landfill. ”
  Billboard Tarps has many sizes to choose depending on their current inventory. Some popular sizes are: 14 by 48 ft, 28 by 48 ft, 20 by 60 ft. They also make custom sizes over 1,500 sq. ft., so you can get any XL size you need. Some popular sizes are 40 by 60 ft., 50 by 70, 100 by 100, and even 200 by 200 ft.
