What is a lumber tarp?

• A lumber tarp is a flatbed tarpaulin that is designed to cover and protect lumber, steel, and other large loads on flatbed trailers. Lumber tarps are typically 24′ wide and 18′ long with a flap or tail on one or both ends.

What is a tail or a flap?

• A tail or flap is normally on one (or both) end of a tarpaulin body to hang down on the front or the rear to make tarping a load easier. Example: Standard Lumber Tarp (SL18) 8′ drop with 8’x 8′ tail.
