FAQ About Lumber Tarps
What Size Lumber Tarp Do I Need?
The most searched lumber tarp sizes for flatbed trailers are 16′ x 27′, 20′ x 27′, and 24′ x 27′. The right size depends on your cargo height, trailer dimensions, and required side drop coverage. Custom lumber tarp sizes are also available for oversized or specialized loads.
What Are Lumber Tarps Used For?
Lumber tarps are used to protect lumber, plywood, building materials, construction supplies, and other flatbed trailer cargo from rain, snow, wind, UV exposure, and road debris during transportation.
What Is the Difference Between Lumber Tarps and Steel Tarps?
Lumber tarps are larger and feature longer side drops to cover tall loads such as lumber and building materials. Steel tarps are typically smaller and designed for shorter, lower-profile loads such as steel coils, sheet metal, and machinery.

What Are 18 oz Lumber Tarps?
18 oz lumber tarps are among the most popular flatbed lumber tarps because they provide excellent waterproof performance, abrasion resistance, and durability for long-haul transportation.
What Are 14 oz Lumber Tarps?
14 oz lumber tarps are lighter than 18 oz versions, making them easier to handle while still providing reliable cargo protection. They are commonly used when reduced tarp weight is a priority.
What Are 3 Piece Lumber Tarps?
3 piece lumber tarps consist of three separate tarp sections that can be arranged to cover long, oversized, or irregular loads more efficiently than a single large tarp.
