Four families, one rule: the spec is written down
In short.
A flatbed tarp is a consumable: it tears, it gets replaced. What decides how long it lasts
is not the brand on the invoice, it is the fabric weight, the seams and the hardware, and
every one of those is measurable. Pick your family below; each page carries the published
formats, the published reference values and the questions to settle in writing.

Out of scope, by policy: load securement equipment of any kind. A tarp covers a load; what holds the load is a different trade with life-safety ratings we cannot verify, so we do not quote it. Details on the about page.
