No. Please check the specifications on each tarp to see if the tarp is flame retardant. Fire retardant tarps are an effective way to ensure the safety of your property, employees, and the general public in a variety of settings. If you work in industrial, commercial, or agricultural environments where there is a risk of fire, flame retardant tarps are a convenient, affordable solution for staying safe. For more information on flame retardant tarps, visit Tarps Now® today.
Treated canvas tarps are not recommended for indoors use because the tarp’s wax and dye treatment may rub off and stain indoor surfaces, such as carpet, wood floor, etc. Also, the treated canvas tarp has an odor. For indoor tarps, consider Vinyl Tarps, Poly Tarps, Untreated Canvas, Nylon Tarps and Mesh Tarps. Also consider if you need a Flame Retardant Tarp.
All in stock orders will ship approximately 2-7 business days from the time the order is placed. Custom orders can take 15 – 30 business days to ship. During the peak season, these times can increase without notice. Normal transit times are 2-5 business days. Larger orders are shipped by various trucking companies we use and can have slightly longer transit times than UPS. We make every effort to ensure the fastest possible delivery. For non-stock items, two-day and express shipping apply once the item is completed (not after the order submission date). Next day shipment items must be in-stock and order must be processed before 12:00pm ET (Does not include Saturday or Sunday orders)
The size of a standard tarp is typically referred to as cut size. Cut size is the tarp industry standard measurement. Cut size is the size of the tarp when the tarp fabric is cut and before the final tarp is made. After the hems of fabric are folded and stitched and seams are made, the finished cover size of the tarp is slightly smaller than the actual cut size. Cut size measures approximately 6″-8″ smaller than the actual finished tarp size. Some tarps may actually finish slightly larger than cut size. Cut size does not pertain to custom size or finished size tarps and covers, but only to the standard tarp sizes.
