: I was assuming "truck tarps" were actually made of polyester
: fabrics coated in pvc...AFAIK that's what they're made of around here.
: Just like tarpaulins on sailboats if you prefer. Ordering this soon...

Eric,

Here is a pic of several rolls of the 18oz. PVC / Polyester that I ordered from
Mauritzon in Chicago at only $5.00 yd ( 61" X 36"). That's considerably less
expensive than the the cost of sewn polyester with painted on hypalon coatings.
Plus, the colors are really cool and some guy at the factory gets to do all the
work !
