FAQs

We measure all our Contractor Bags in inches and our Tarps in Feet.

Our Contractor Bags are simply measured by Length and Width, so our “32 x 50 Heavy Duty Contractor Bag” would be: 32 inches wide by 50 inches long.

A “Mil” represents one-thousandth of an inch. “Mil”, is an industry standard term used to describe a bag's thickness. The thicker the “mil”, the thicker the bag.

All Tarps (no matter where purchased) typically are sold by their "listed" sizes. It's something to keep in mind before placing any orders. So what does that mean? In reality, all tarps have two sizes: a "listed" (or "cut") size and a "finished" size.  The "listed" size is the tarp's sizing before it's finished. So a 10' x 12' tarp's listed size, is just that - 10' x 12'. A tarp's "finished" size is the size after any processing - such as adding grommets, hems, or seams. On the whole, the finishing process removes about 6" off each side of the tarp. So, our listed 10' x 12' tarp measures out at 9’ 4” x 11’ 4".

In general, "listed vs. finished price" is a good rule to be aware of when ordering any Tarps. .
