Another option which one of my customers uses to cover their log piles is old lorry curtain sides. Can be picked up cheap and are VERY heavy duty

 

Hi Steve were does your customer get them from thanks Jon

i've got 4 of theses things.

 

10ft x 20ft Reinforced Heavy Duty PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Sheets | eBay

 

they are actually old advertising sheets but they are really heavy duty and i use them to cover my timber. not sure if they are value for money or not but they really do the job.

 

they are definitely tear proof, seemingly UV proof and i would buy more if i need to.

 

I bought a couple of these a few years ago , got them from a bloke on the A1 north just past biggleswade.

just seen these on ebay, not sure if of interest to any one

 

EXTRA HEAVY DUTY 8m x 10m TARPAULIN WATERPROOF COVER CAMPING BOAT TARP STRONG | eBay

 

 

Have found those type of tarps are not waterproof for long, curtain sides are good but quite heavy and seem to be harder to get hold of, I bought a couple of 40'x 10' advertising ones about 3 years ago for £40 each and they're great, lighter n more flexible than the curtain sides

I get some ex army tent sides from a surplus place in Nottingham. I picked them up initially off Ebay but can't find the advert now.

They do all sorts of sizes and they are heavy duty canvas with a waterproof wax on. She look brand new and they do have window hatches but they zip up.

I have some about 20ft x 12ft which I use over a poly tunnel frame and they don't blow away due to their weight and are waterproof and don't rot away in the sunshine.

 

Its this sort of material and I pay £20 for them.
