OVERVIEW
Before now tarpaulin have been used to cover equipment and machinery against weather damage onsite, during transit and for farm storage outdoors. Tarp materials are available in various grades from lightweight woven polythene to heavy canvas cover but the fitting method basically has to do with pulling tarpaulin over equipment and tying down with rope threaded material through a series of metal eyelets which are sewn around the cover. Tarpaulins are useful and efficient for covering small objects or equipment but will surely have challenges when it has to cover larger equipment or machines especially when they are in transit.
