Tarp Patch Kits

Truck tarps are an important piece of equipment and something operators rely on daily to protect their valuable cargo from the elements. Nothing is worse than finding a rip or a hole in your tarp while on the road and having to worry about the integrity of your flatbed tarp and possible damage to your cargo. A tarp repair kit is a must-have for flatbed trailer operators and is perfect for making emergency repairs on the road.

US Cargo Control’s do-it-yourself tarp repair kits enable you to extend the life of your tarp. Easily patch and seal minor rips, holes, and wear marks in the fabric.

Vinyl Tarp Repair Kit Components

Each trailer tarp repair kit has a 2' x 2' piece of PVC-coated polyester in black, blue, or red that can be cut to fit the needed size or shape. An 8 oz. can of vinyl cement or tarp glue offers a super-strong, waterproof, and flexible bond, plus is highly resistant to temperature and weather extremes.

How to Repair a Tarp with a Patch

  1. Clean the repair area with rubbing alcohol.
  2. Cut your tarp patch material into a round shape that's 1-2 inches larger than the tear.
  3. Spread an even coat of cement to both surfaces being attached and let dry for 5-10 minutes.
  4. As the cement sets and achieves tack, press surfaces together. For best results, use a roller.
  5. Wait 24 hours for initial cure - the cement will fully cure in 7 days.

We recommend having several kits on-hand so you are ready for any last-minute repairs on the road. Acting at the first sign of damage can prevent it from spreading and limit the chances of a more costly fix or full replacement being necessary.

Tarp Repair Kit Compatibility
