Covers for Farm Equipment
Vehicles and machinery represent a significant investment on both large and small farms. Durable tarp materials are ideally suited to protect tools and tractors stored in old drafty barns by keeping them dry and rust free. If storing agricultural equipment in a secure outbuilding is not possible, custom tarps offer protection and can save on maintenance costs too. BTL’s high-quality tarps offer long-lasting durability and peace of mind whether covering an apple harvester, vegetable processor, or tractor. Highly UV-resistant structural fabrics also help to prevent heat damage to expensive farm equipment.Tarps Make Ideal Firewood Covers
For parts of the country that experience a wet or snowy spring, proper cordwood storage is important. To ensure firewood releases the maximum amount of heat when burned, be sure it is kept dry while it is curing. Choosing an industrial-strength tarp cover will also protect firewood from overexposure to the sun, wind, rain, and snow. Covering firewood with a tarp is a simple procedure. In windy areas, use a tarp with grommets to tie a rope through that will secure it better than strapping the tarp to the firewood. Other methods for protecting firewood include securing a clear plastic tarp with rocks around the perimeter of the wood pile to keep it dry.Durable Tarps to Cover Tractors
After properly winterizing agricultural vehicles, tarp covers will further protect them whether they are stored outside or in an open barn. Tarps with UV-resistant finishes prevent the sun from damaging tractor seats and steering wheels. Additionally, keeping dirt and dust from accumulating on vehicles will help keep them running smoothly and avoid costly repairs. Tarps offer several benefits when it comes to protecting these types of tractors.- Utility tractors
