Hire a Builders Tarp

Melbourne winter is a cold, wet and miserable time of year – and it’s getting worse. Weather events such as hail, storms and flooding are more frequent in nature and less predictable. At this time of year tarpaulins are an essential builders’ tool, but they are heavy, cumbersome and inconvenient to store and carry around. That’s where the Aim Hire tarps come in handy. Hiring a tarp has many advantages over owning your own. Not withstanding the fact that a quality builders’ tarp is an expensive item to purchase, it’s the maintenance costs that really kick-in after a pounding from the elements. Tarps need to be specially maintained after each use. You need the right equipment and fabric to repair tears and holes. Beware of tarps being dragged across sharp flashing or the enthusiastic apprentice who nails your new tarp to a roofing truss (nice one Nigel!). At Aim Hire we have the right equipment to ensure the detection and repair of tears and small holes in a tarp. Tarps are a hassle to store. You must repair them before you store them away – ready to use next time. They are difficult to roll up and pack away neatly. Imagine a sleeping bag on steroids – you need the patience, manpower and knowhow. It’s so much easier to pick up you ‘ready to install’ tarp from Aim Hire. Hiring a tarp is much easier to account for too. When you own your own tarp, you must depreciate the asset over several years and calculating the expense per job becomes a tricky assignment. When you hire a tarp, you can put it on your Aim account and expense each hire to the appropriate job. Hire tarps are prescribed builders’ tarps made from heavy duty PVC (680gsm). They are water proof, wind resistant and UV protected and the best choice when protecting your building or renovation from the elements.
