24 x 28 ft, 8 ft drop lumber tarp, and what to put in writing

Published market reference. 24 x 28 ft, 8 ft drop is a format published by US retailers, read on 2026-08-20. It is here as a reference point: the numbers below are what the market publishes, and the spec further down is what we would confirm in writing before a factory ever cuts one. We hold no stock; the listed retail prices are not our quotes.

An 8 ft drop against an 8 ft load and a 10 ft load The same 8 ft drop on two loads. On an 8 ft load the tarp reaches the deck and the load is covered. On a 10 ft load the tarp stops 2 ft above the deck and the bottom of the load stays uncovered. 8 ft load covered to the deck 8 ft 10 ft load same tarp, 2 ft left bare 8 ft 2 ft left bare
Both rows share one scale, so the bare band is exactly the 2 ft it says. An 8 ft drop covers an 8 ft load and no more: state your usual load height in writing before ordering, because the drop cannot be changed afterwards.

Anchors for budgeting, not our quotes. A sourcing quote depends on spec, quantity, freight and duty, and is documented in writing.

The same size in 14 oz is listed at 452.00 USD. Against from 399.99 USD for the 18 oz above. Whichever way that gap runs, it makes the same point: price does not tell you the fabric weight. Only a written value and a scale on a cutting do. Source: N2 · US Cargo Control listing, read 2026-08-20
