Tarpaulins have long been a friend to builders no matter the construction project, from a quick touch-up to major renovations and new builds. Tarps, as they’re commonly called, are versatile and can be used throughout all seasons. As we encroach further into Autumn and begin to prepare for winter ahead, we are reminded just how important tarps can be. With weather changes constant, and rain unpredictable – particularly over the past few weeks – builder’s tarps enquiries are expected to skyrocket this year. As such, we want to remind all Aim Hire customers to plan ahead and ensure you’re covered no matter the weather. When working with valuable, costly assets (such as a home) it’s important to be proactive, not reactive.
Aim Hire stocks heavy-duty PVC tarpaulins ready for hire to ensure you’re covered when the weather is unpredictable.
Aim Hire’s tarpaulins are made specifically for building and construction sites. They prove invaluable when dealing with storm damage from hail or fallen tree branches. Keep in mind it shouldn’t take a major weather event or emergency to trigger the need to hire a tarpaulin – being prepared is key. Rain, wind, and sun damage can wreak havoc when renovating or extending an existing residence or building a new one. Tarps help protect the home and your hard work. At Aim Hire we stock only the best heavy-duty PVC tarpaulins for watertight protection. Bowen’s tarps are flexible, UV resistant, and come in 4 sizes to meet your site needs.
Not only do tarps protect your build, but they are also helpful when it comes to protecting stock, inventory, machinery and tools on-site from potential water and weather damage. Whether it’s your plywood sheets, LVL, plasterboards or expensive tools, moisture and dampness can distort your expensive materials rendering them useless or lead to mold, mildew, and even corrosion. Furthermore, dust from sanding and cutting can get into every corner of a building site making clean up even more tedious than it needs to be. Tarps are a preventative measure you can take to prevent dust and dirt from getting into stains and paints, throughout your materials and into nooks and crannies of the project that are near impossible to reach.
While heavy-duty tarps are a great asset to the builder for all the above reasons, and many more, they are not always practical to carry around on a day-to-day basis as they can be quite heavy. You also need access to the right equipment to maintain heavy-duty tarps should they get a hole or tear in them. And most importantly, you really need to get the right size tarp for the job. That’s why hiring tarps is such a great option. Sizes available for hire from Aim include 6 x 8m, 8 x 8m, 10 x 8m and 11x8m – so you get the right fit for every build.
Our friendly hire consultants would be happy to answer any questions you may have about tarpaulins and how they can benefit you and your next project! (03) 9720 4455
