How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
Heavy Duty Green Tarpaulin measuring 18ft x 12ft. Manufactured from reinforced polyethylene for dependable resistance against rain, UV exposure, and surface abrasion.
The durable laminated weave provides long-term outdoor performance, retaining flexibility in cold conditions while maintaining tensile strength under tension. Hemmed edges and rust-resistant eyelets ensure secure tie-down and tear prevention during prolonged use.
18ft x 12ft suited to medium-scale applications such as covering gazebos, grouped sheet stacks, or partial vehicle protection.
Features & Benefits
- Material construction: Reinforced polyethylene sheet for robust weather resistance and high tensile strength.
- UV and water resistance: Double-laminated surfaces repel moisture and resist ultraviolet degradation for year-round exposure.
- Edge durability: Hemmed and rope-reinforced edges prevent fraying under repeated tension.
- Eyelet security: Rust-resistant aluminium eyelets positioned at regular intervals for firm tie-down and even load distribution.
- Temperature stability: Maintains flexibility and strength across a wide thermal range.
- Size 18ft x 12ft: Medium format suited to gazebos, grouped sheet stacks, or partial vehicle protection.
Applications
- Outdoor covering: Protects grouped materials or stored goods from rain and sunlight.
- Event use: Serves as sidewall or canopy covering for gazebos or small shelters.
- Vehicle protection: Provides temporary weatherproofing for parked vehicles.
- General storage: Shields tools or machinery stored under open shelter.
Installation Guidance
- Preparation: Ensure surface or structure is free of sharp edges before application.
- Positioning: Lay tarpaulin evenly with adequate overlap for full coverage.
- Fixing: Secure using cords, bungee ties, or rope through provided eyelets.
- Tensioning: Apply moderate, even tension to prevent flapping and abrasion.
- Inspection: Check periodically for movement or wear under prolonged exposure.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: High-density polyethylene weave with low-density polyethylene laminate.
- Performance durability: Designed for extended outdoor use with high tear and puncture resistance.
- Environmental resistance: UV-stabilised and mildew-resistant coating for long-term exposure.
- Important note: Avoid contact with sharp edges or excessive heat to preserve waterproof integrity.
