Anyone use "Billboard" tarps before?

[deereguy]

I know a guy with a few billboards on his farm (high traffic road), and he used them in his hay barn on the floor to keep moisture from coming up thru the gravel. He uses a New Holland Stacker Wagon and is able to back the wagon into his 60'X100' 3 sided barn and set the hay on top of them. Pretty slick and he doesn't loose as many bottoms due to rot.

I've never heard this before. What kind of billboards and signs???


Funny, I usually see old billboards with torn, faded paper flapping in the breeze advertising the $1.79 Blizzard from 4 years ago.......so considering using that as a cover is a little weird to me.


What are they making billboard signs out of these days?

good ?

Funny YOU ask, this spring my ole buddy & I redone an ole gooseneck stock trailer & finishing touch was tarp on top.....we went to one of those junk stores & he had a bunch of those billboard tarps, so my buddy got one about the size he wanted(I think it was an ad for a cellphone company).. took it to upholstery type company & they didn't want to touch it because they didn't sell the material so he go some eyelets & we fit it to the top & he started laying the eyelets every 8 inches....Man that thing worked out great & then he painted the ad with a white paint & the print was facing down so cows could read ads anyway! If I can remember to take cam I'll post afew pics! Onlytime will tell if it holds up! Hope this helped!!!

Re: Anyone use "Billboard" tarps before? was an old thread

I Know this is an old thread, but it had dimensions and thicknesses.

So does anybody have any presently recommended sources for Billboard or any other VERY heavy duty tarps? At least 12 mil thick.

My 2 yr old HF specials (10 mil) (/edit - actually 9 mil) are starting to wear. And I need more. Right now I've about 10 tarps in constant use, most about 10x20, but up to 20' x 40'. I like to lay a big one down in my truck bed, place stuff I'm moving on it, then wrap the tarp around the entire load. Right now I've got a load of library bookshelves to move.


And I don't want them to get wet between Virginia and Mississippi.

They sell them on Ebay or at Billboard Tarps, Tarps, Discount Tarps, Used Billboard Vinyl, Hay Tarps, Pond Liners -- Billboard Tarp Warehouse | Welcome
I have one,and it's the best tarp I've ever had,but real stiff when it's cold, and heavy.

Thanks for the recommendation - What thickness did you get ? I see they go up to 35mil (1/3 inch).

I think it was 15-17 mil,had it about 4 years.Other than a couple of mouse holes, it is still like new on the black side-the sign faded,but nice and flexable when warm out.
