The best types of tarps for hay cover are those made from heavy-duty, UV-resistant, and waterproof materials like polyethylene or polypropylene. These materials are durable, resistant to tearing, and capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for long-term hay protection and repeated use.
UV-resistant tarps are particularly valuable because they resist degradation from sunlight, which can weaken the tarp and reduce its effectiveness over time. Reinforced edges with strong grommets permit secure fastening and reduce the risk of the tarp being blown off in windy conditions.
