Silver Black Tarps - Made in USA

Our Silver Black Heavy Duty Tarps are made in the USA from 3-ply woven reinforced polyethylene at a true 12 mil thickness — the heavy-duty, light-blocking tier in our poly tarp family. The reversible face does two jobs: the black side blocks light for a dark, private space underneath, while the silver side reflects heat, sun, and UV. UV-coated on both sides and rated at 7 oz per square yard, these tarps are built for long outdoor service.

Each tarp is made to order (typical lead time 1–3 weeks), so you can get exactly the size you need — sizes from 6′ × 6′ up to 100′ × 100′, the widest range in our poly lineup. Built and shipped from Marietta, GA, they’re a go-to for roofing, canopy replacement, hay covers, equipment covers, and environmental site protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are silver black Made-in-USA tarps best used for?

They are a heavy-duty, light-blocking choice for roofing and roof tarps, canopy replacement covers, hay tarps, equipment covers, and environmental site protection. The black side blocks light for a dark space underneath, while the silver side reflects heat and UV.

What makes these Made-in-USA tarps different from imported poly tarps?

These tarps are made in the USA from 3-ply woven reinforced polyethylene at a true 12 mil thickness and 7 oz per square yard. They are made to order, so you can get the exact size you need, and the heavier 3-ply build is designed for longer outdoor service than lighter imported poly tarps.

Which side blocks light, and which side reflects heat?

The tarp is reversible. Face the black side up or out when you want to block light and keep the space underneath dark and shaded. Face the silver side up to reflect more sunlight, heat, and UV, which helps keep the area below cooler.

How does the 12 mil USA silver/black compare to the 11 mil imported version?

The Made-in-USA silver/black is a true 12 mil, 3-ply reinforced tarp built to order in the USA, while our imported Heavy Duty Silver/Black tarps are 11 mil and kept in stock for faster shipping. Choose the 12 mil USA tarp for a heavier, made-to-size cover, or the 11 mil imported tarp when you need it sooner.

What is the lead time, and why are these made to order?

Because each tarp is built to your size in the USA, the typical lead time is about 1 to 3 weeks. Made-to-order production lets you choose from 56 sizes, from 6 ft x 6 ft up to 100 ft x 100 ft, instead of being limited to standard stock dimensions.

What sizes do silver black tarps come in?

This collection offers 56 made-to-order sizes, from 6 ft x 6 ft up to 100 ft x 100 ft, the widest range in our poly tarp family. That covers small repairs as well as large canopy, hay, roofing, and commercial jobs.

Are silver black tarps waterproof and UV-protected?

Yes. They are made from waterproof 3-ply woven polyethylene with UV coating on both sides, so they shed water and resist sun damage, which makes them well suited to roofing, hay, and outdoor site protection.

Should I choose the silver/black or the silver/white 12 mil Made-in-USA tarp?

Both are 12 mil Made-in-USA tarps. Choose silver/black when you want to block light for a dark, shaded space, such as roofing, hay, or site protection. Choose silver/white when you want to pass more light for a brighter space, such as a carport or canopy.
