The Agricultural Fabric That Works Harder, Lasts Longer, & Protects More

 

In modern agriculture, success depends on protection – of crops, livestock, and investments. That’s where Renegade’s polypropylene-based agricultural fabric excels. Unlike traditional tarps and covers made from PVC or polyethylene, our coated fabrics offer industry-leading durability without the harmful chemicals or environmental baggage.

 

Our materials are engineered to meet the demands of year-round exposure to wind, rain, UV rays, and abrasion – while remaining lighter, safer, and more sustainable than legacy products. 

 

Whether you’re managing stockpile storage or outfitting a poultry barn, Renegade delivers the strength of hard-wearing material without the:

 

  • weight
  • cost
  • contamination risk

5 Most Common Applications for Agricultural Fabric

Here are five common ways Renegade’s coated fabrics outperform traditional options in real-world situations:

  1. Barn Curtains – Used for ventilation, temperature regulation, and protection from wind and weather. Renegade’s translucent agricultural fabric is UV-stabilized and delivers 70-75% light transmission, supporting animal health and worker visibility. Compared to heavy PVC curtains, our polypropylene version is less toxic, lower weight, and easier to install.

 

 

Feature Renegade Coated Fabric PVC Agricultural Curtain
Approximate Weight 7–13 oz/yd² 18–22 oz/yd²
Contains PFAS No* Not clearly disclosed
Contains Phthalates No Yes
Recyclable Yes (via Renegade program) Rarely accepted
Off-gassing VOCs None Possible during fabrication/use

 

 

  1. Grain & Stockpile Covers – Durable and waterproof, these covers shield commodities like grains, feed, and tree nuts. Our fabrics reduce microplastic shedding compared to polyethylene tarps that often fray at the edges. With anti-slip textures and high puncture resistance, you get reliable performance in the field.
  2. Fumigation Liners – Our fabric can be used to cover various agricultural commodities during fumigation or storage.. Resistant to common fumigation chemicals and tears, they provide the structural integrity needed to fumigate various types of commodities.
  3. Poultry Curtains – Designed for light-blocking and flock separation, our opaque coated fabrics offer blackout control with no PFAS* or phthalates – safer for both workers and livestock. These curtains can be wiped clean, treated with bleach, or power-washed, simplifying sanitation.
  4. Hay Tarps – Our UV-resistant tarps help keep animal fodder dry throughout the season, reducing mold risk and spoilage. Unlike low-grade poly sheets, they won’t shred, crack, or become brittle after one cycle.

 

Choosing Renegade means selecting a lighter, cleaner, and more sustainable material without sacrificing strength or longevity. With the right agricultural fabric, you protect more than inventory; you protect your people, your animals, your margins, and your environment.

 

3 Critical Certifications That Prove a Fabric’s Performance

 

When you’re purchasing materials for barns, silos, or field deployment, you need evidence the fabric will hold up. Renegade’s agricultural fabric has passed multiple third-party tests to confirm its safety and performance:

 

  1. NFPA-701 (Method 1) – Flame resistance testing suitable for curtains or covers in public-access buildings.
  2. California State Fire Marshal (Title 19) – Registered for interior and exterior use.
  3. CPSIA Compliant – Safer for environments with children or frequent human contact.

 

These test credentials position Renegade as a supplier not just of fabric, but of dependable infrastructure. When procurement teams or co-op buyers need to justify purchasing decisions, our documentation makes the case.

6 Reasons Why Our Ag Fabrics Outlast the Competition

 

Renegade’s materials outperform traditional agricultural fabrics across the metrics that matter most:

 

  1. Long-Lasting – Proven to last 3-5x longer than polyethylene films in exposed environments.
  2. Lighter-Weight Than PVC – Easier to install, ship, and move, especially for seasonal or elevated curtain applications.
  3. No PFAS*, Phthalates, Vinyl Chloride, or Lead – Meets safety standards while supporting cleaner food systems and reduced toxic load.
  4. Reusable Year After Year – Perfect for hay tarps and stockpile covers; they won’t fray, rot, or stretch out like cheap poly.
  5. Recyclable – Accepted in Renegade’s take-back program, reducing disposal fees and landfill waste.
  6. Reduces Microplastic Pollution – Polypropylene sheds less than polyethylene, helping to protect soil, water, and feed supplies from contamination.

 

When you’re managing agricultural materials, longevity and safety are more than features – they’re necessities. Renegade’s fabric helps you do more with less: less waste, less maintenance, and fewer replacements.
