What Is PE Agricultural Tarpaulin?

PE Agricultural Tarpaulin, also known as polyethylene farm tarp, is a lightweight yet high-strength protective covering specifically designed for agricultural applications. Manufactured from woven HDPE fabric and laminated with LDPE coatings, PE agricultural tarps offer excellent waterproof performance, UV resistance, tear strength, and cost efficiency.

DERFLEX PE Agricultural Tarpaulins are widely used in modern farming operations to protect crops, soil, hay bales, silage, fertilizers, livestock feed, greenhouse structures, and agricultural machinery from harsh weather conditions such as rain, frost, snow, wind, and prolonged sun exposure.

Compared with traditional PVC tarpaulins, PE tarps provide an optimal balance between durability, flexibility, and affordability, making them the most popular choice for large-scale agricultural coverage worldwide.

Main Applications of PE Agricultural Tarpaulin

Crop Protection

PE agricultural tarps are widely used to protect crops from unexpected rain, frost, hail, and excessive sunlight. They help stabilize microclimates during sensitive growth stages and reduce crop losses.

Soil & Ground Cover

As ground covers, PE tarpaulins prevent weed growth, soil erosion, moisture loss, and nutrient leaching. They are commonly used in vegetable farms, nurseries, and horticultural fields.

Hay & Silage Cover

PE farm tarps provide reliable coverage for hay bales and silage stacks, preserving feed quality and reducing spoilage caused by moisture infiltration.

Greenhouse & Tunnel Farming

Used as temporary or auxiliary covers for greenhouses, polytunnels, and hoop houses, PE agricultural tarps enhance insulation and weather resistance.

Farm Equipment Protection

Tractors, harvesters, irrigation systems, and tools can be effectively shielded from rain, dust, and UV damage using durable PE tarpaulins.
