Most online tarpaulins in Australia ship from overseas warehouses, which is why "fast delivery" usually means six weeks. Ours don't. We hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses and dispatch within 1-2 business days. Tarpaulins from $10.
What tarpaulin do I need?
Tarpaulins come in 2x3m to 6x8m. The right choice depends on your space, budget, and how often you'll use it. Measure your area first and check product specs before ordering.

What most sites won't admit
Almost every tarpaulin sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam or South-East Asia — including ours. The real difference between online retailers isn't where the product is made. It's what happens after it lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" turns into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: GSM rating. Tarp thickness is measured in GSM (grams per square metre). Under 80 GSM tears easily and lasts one season. 120-150 GSM handles moderate use. 200+ GSM is heavy duty for long-term outdoor cover. The blue poly tarps from hardware stores are typically 70-90 GSM — fine for temporary cover but not permanent use.
