Wrap Your Stuff In Billboard Tarps
Need a big tarp? How about an industrial strength, 14 by 48-ft. tarp for $34.99, or even less if bought in quantities? Sky Group Closeouts sells large, used billboard covers. You can buy them one at a time, 25 to 30 on a pallet or in truckloads of 500. Customers include farmers, contractors, government agencies, schools, storage facilities and others.
"We have customers who use them to cover hay bales, silage piles and equipment," says Matt Mcconville, co-owner of Sky Group Closeouts. "Others use them to line ponds, cover houses under construction or make giant slip and slides for their kids. We sell thousands each year."
Mcconville doesn't have exact specifications on the billboard covers he sells since they vary a lot. One national billboard cover manufacturer describes their products as 13 oz., 3-ply material with PVC on the outside layers and a polyester interior. They are also anti-mildew, anti-UV and flame retardant. They can withstand temperatures as low as -55 degrees F. While Mcconville doesn't make those claims for his used covers, he does say they're always very durable.
"These are really high end pieces of vinyl that weigh about 80 lbs. each," he says. "I know people who bought them eight or nine years ago and are still using them."
Other uses for the covers, which are white on the backside, include outdoor movie screens and pool covers. Some people paint their own signs on the white side. Mcconville says they can be sewn together and grommets can be installed easily. They come with channels on the sides to be slid onto poles.
"These cost up to $600 each to manufacture originally. It's great to find another use for them instead of throwing them away," he says.
