Fall-Proof Your Patio: Get 20% OFF, Use Code: WELCOME20

Description

Not every tarp needs to be the heaviest thing on the shelf. This 12 oz vinyl tarp gives you the same 100% waterproof barrier as our heaviest fabric, in a build light enough to fold and carry alone — cut to your exact rectangle or square dimensions.

Choose it when the tarp comes on and off with the seasons, when the span is large enough that an 18 oz panel would need two people, or when the exposure isn't year-round. It works as a custom all weather vinyl tarp for general outdoor use, and the weight makes it a practical medium weight PVC tarp rectangle for anyone handling it solo.

Why Choose Our 12 oz Vinyl Tarps?

Fully waterproof, not a lesser barrier
The PVC coating is impermeable at both weights — 12 oz gives up handling ease for coating weight, not water protection.

Built for repeated folding
The lighter coating creases and unfolds without the stiffness heavier fabrics develop over frequent handling.

Heat-welded, like every ZIPCovers tarp
No stitched seams, no needle holes in the waterproof barrier.

Backed by ZIPCushions
The same made-to-measure standard behind 75,000+ homes and a 4.9-star Google rating.
This is our custom medium duty vinyl tarps build — the fabric we point most customers toward by default.
Need maximum tear resistance for high winds or rough handling? Upgrade to our 18 oz Heavy Duty Vinyl Tarp.

Fabric Information

Tarp Shield is our medium duty vinyl — the fabric we recommend when the tarp comes on and off often.

Tarp Shield — 12 oz PVC-coated fabric

410 gsm, 15 mil PVC-coated fabric. The same impermeable barrier and heat-welded seams as our heaviest vinyl, in a weight one person can manage without help.

Rustproof brass grommets at the four corners as standard, or spaced at approximately 24, 18, or 12 inches. Welded D-rings at 24 or 12 inches. Add 1.5" reinforced webbing around the perimeter if the tarp will be pulled tight or handled often.

As a 12 oz vinyl tarp custom cut, it strikes the balance between weight and handling that most orders actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose 12 oz when someone handles the tarp regularly, when it comes on and off with the seasons, or when the span is large enough that 18 oz becomes a two-person job. Both weights are fully waterproof PVC-coated fabric with heat-welded seams — 18 oz simply carries more coating for permanent outdoor exposure and rougher handling. That's the deciding factor behind every 12 oz vinyl tarp custom order we build.
Yes. The PVC coating is impermeable at both weights; the difference between 12 oz and 18 oz is durability and handling, not how much water gets through. A stitched seam would be the actual weak point, which is why both are heat-welded instead.
It scales directly with area — 12 oz is weight per square yard, so a small cover stays easy for one person while a very large 12 oz tarp still adds up. For large spans handled regularly, factor that in when choosing between 12 and 18 oz.
Yes, it's built as an all-weather fabric — 100% waterproof with UV-stabilized PVC coating. The 5-year warranty reflects a slightly lighter coating than our 18 oz fabric, not reduced weather resistance.
Tarp Shield is a solid, waterproof PVC-coated fabric. Our 9 oz mesh is an open weave that's deliberately not waterproof, built instead for airflow, shade, and highway-speed use on trailers. Choose based on whether you need a dry seal or ventilation.
Yes — it's the weight we recommend specifically for tarps that get folded, stored, and redeployed often. The lighter coating is easier to crease and unfold without the stiffness that heavier fabrics develop over repeated handling.
