When it comes to tarp sizes, relying on the same tired, plastic-smelling tarps you’ve used for the past decade just doesn’t cut it anymore. If you need to cover prized vehicles, shield outdoor furniture from relentless downpours, or guard heavy-duty equipment from cruel storms, it’s time for an upgrade.
Enter Renegade Plastics—disrupting the status quo of cheap poly tarp mediocrity and setting a new benchmark with heavy duty tarps designed for exceptional durability and real impact.
Ready to take on that big project? Or maybe you’re just looking to add a layer of protection to your weekend barbecue spot.
Either way, this guide will help you pick from 9 insanely popular standard sizes of tarps—from smaller tarps suited for quick tasks to the truly large tarps built to withstand harsh weather conditions.
We’ll also reveal why Renegade Tarps outperform everything else on the market—say goodbye to the old, leaky canvas tarps and those flimsy “bargain” poly tarp covers.
Below is your fast-track chart to pinpoint which tarp sizes match your upcoming project. Skim, choose your dimension, and get ready to step up your coverage game.
| Size | Typical Uses | Why Renegade is Better for this Use |
|---|---|---|
| 3’x3′ | Quick ground cover for garden patches, tool wraps, seat covers, snack breaks in the park | A mildew resistant mini-tarp that doesn’t skimp on added protection. Perfect for smaller tarp needs—ultra-compact, ultra-tough. |
| 8’x6′ | Lining truck beds, shielding grills, or blocking wind at campsites | Balances lightweight with heavy duty performance. Designed with grommets in all the right places, so you can secure it tight and forget about it. |
| 10’x8′ | Covering ATVs, layering construction sites, or creating temporary shelters | Sturdy enough to fend off sun damage, rain, and harsh weather conditions—ready for repeated action, whether it’s at home or on the job. |
| 12’x9′ | Home reno protection, yard debris collection, or short-term ground cover | UV resistant fabric that doesn’t flake or tear, even under heavy use. Ideal for broad outdoor applications in unpredictable weather conditions. |
| 10’x10′ | All-purpose camping base, festival canopy, or mid-size gear cover | A finished size you can trust and a design that screams durable and symmetrical. Perfect for a wide range of tasks—far beyond a boring old poly tarp from the discount bin. |
| 20’x12′ | Medium-duty pool coverage, boat shielding, or vehicle protection | Big enough for your mid-range rides and sturdy enough to protect them. Reinforced edges ensure you’ll never watch it shred in the first windy storm. |
| 44’x22’ | Sheltering multiple boats, huge construction enclosures, or large equipment | Serious, industrial-grade protection without the crazy bulk. Crafted from high quality materials to reduce friction tears and keep valuables safe. |
| 60’x40’ | Major farm gear coverage, commercial truck shielding, or large event spaces | Colossal in coverage, but still heavy duty enough to handle consistent abuse. Lighter weight makes moving larger tarps much easier. 70-40% lighter weight than canvas or vinyl options. |
1. 3’x3′ Mini Tarp
A 3’ x 3’ tarp may sound too small to matter, but trust us—this is your secret weapon for everyday tasks. Want to keep the trunk of your car clean while hauling gardening supplies? Need a seat cover for a rained-out bench at the park? This mini tarp makes short work of messy chores while fitting into practically any storage nook.
Before Renegade, “mini tarps” didn’t exist.

Even for smaller tarps, we don’t compromise on heavy duty quality.
2. 8’x6′ Tarp
If you’re looking for everyday efficiency, the 8’ x 6’ tarp is a must-have. Spread it in your pickup bed when carting home gravel or mulch. Shield your grill from sun damage in the peak of summer. Or block cold winds at your campsite.
The Renegade difference?

3. 10’x8′ Tarp
Need just a bit more coverage? The 10’ x 8’ tarp steps up for small boat storage, construction sites, or other uses around the house. It’s not too big to store in a corner of your shed, but it’s more than enough to keep valuable gear safe from rain, wind, or random stuff falling off trees.
If you’re tired of the throwaway nature of a typical poly tarp, ours is the antidote.
Expect heavy duty tarps that withstand punishing weather conditions—and keep on rolling. Want more details on how we outpace old-school plastics? Check out our blog post on how polypropylene tarps compare to vinyl for a breakdown of why we ditched toxins in favor of eco-conscious innovation.

5 FAQs about Tarp Sizes
- What size tarp do I need for a 15 ft round pool? Or an 18 ft round pool? Go at least 4–5 ft larger in diameter. For 15 ft pools, a 20’ x 20’ or 20’ x 15’ usually works. For an 18 ft pool, a 24’ x 24’’ is safer for total protection and easier tie-down.
- What size tarp to cover a car? Smaller sedans need a 20’ x 12’, while trucks and SUVs will need something bigger. Measure your vehicle’s width, height, and length to pick the perfect finished size for full protection.
- What size tarp for camping? A 10’ x 8’ or 10’ x 10’ generally gets the job done. For bigger group setups, move up to a 12’ x 9’ or 20’ x 12’ if you need extra coverage for gear and cooking areas.
- What tarp size for rain canopy? Go 2–3 ft beyond your tent’s roof area on all sides—so 10’ x 8’ or 12’ x 9’ usually fits the bill. Make sure you go for waterproof tarps and sturdy grommets for easy overhead rigging.
