Custom Tarps Made to Measure in Brisbane

LJ Covers makes custom tarps in canvas, poly fabric and PVC at our workshop in Redland Bay, on the edge of Brisbane. Every tarp is cut to your measurements and built with the hems, eyelets and tie-down points it needs for the way you will use it. We make single tarps for one-off jobs and ongoing runs for fleets, farms and sites, and we supply customers across Queensland and the rest of Australia.
Call 07 3916 4822 or send us your sizes through the quote form, and we will recommend a material and fittings for your custom tarp.
Custom Tarps Cut to Your Exact Size
A standard tarp from a hardware store comes in a handful of fixed sizes, so it either falls short of the load or leaves metres of loose fabric flapping in the wind. A custom made tarp is cut to the size and shape of what it covers. We make tarps in odd dimensions, with cut-outs around fixed equipment, with access points where you need to reach inside, and in shapes that follow a trailer, a stockpile or a structure.
As an example of the size we work at, a recent Google review from a business customer describes a 15 metre by 10 metre industrial tarp we made in 16 oz ripstop canvas, with heavy-duty tie-downs.
Choosing Canvas, Poly Fabric or PVC for Your Custom Tarp
The material is the first decision on a custom tarp, and it depends on what the tarp covers, how long it stays out and whether the load underneath needs to breathe.
| Material | What it suits | Typical custom tarp uses |
| Canvas | Breathable, tough and easy to repair. Canvas lets moisture escape, which helps where condensation under the tarp would damage the load. | Hay and feed covers, stockpile covers, agricultural covers and any load that needs airflow. |
| Poly fabric | Lightweight, waterproof and UV-stabilised. A practical choice where the weight of the tarp and its cost both matter. | General purpose covering, transport, storage and event ground covers. |
| PVC | Waterproof, tear-resistant and long-lasting. PVC can be hot air welded for seamless joins and takes reinforced hems and heavy fittings well. | Truck tarps, curtain-siders, industrial covers and tarps that are handled every day. |
If you are unsure which material suits your tarp, our fabric guide compares them in more detail, or you can call us and we will explain which one we recommend and why.
Our Tarpaulins are Custom Made In australia
At LJ Covers, Jason and Leah Kemp fabricate custom tarps in canvas, poly fabric, and PVC for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and recreational applications across Australia. Every tarp is cut and fabricated to your exact dimensions — the right material, the right size, the right fittings for how it will actually be used. Whether you need a single tarp for a specific job or an ongoing supply for a fleet or facility, we fabricate to your spec from our Redland Bay workshop.
Fittings and Reinforcement for Custom Made Tarps
The fittings are what hold a tarp in place, so we build them into the tarp during fabrication rather than adding them afterwards. We can include:
- Reinforced hems and edges.
- Stainless steel eyelets and D-rings, spaced to suit your tie-down points.
- Rope hems and shock cord hems.
- Buckles, straps and tie-down points.
- Velcro and zip closures.
- Reinforced corners and stress points.
- Custom cut-outs and access points.
If you need a particular eyelet spacing or a fitting that matches existing hardware on your truck, trailer or site, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will build it in from the start.

Custom Tarps for Transport, Farming, Construction and Mining
Custom Truck Tarps and Trailer Tarps
We make truck tarps, flatbed trailer covers and load securing tarps for road transport in PVC and poly fabric, with reinforced hems, eyelets and tie-down points made for daily commercial use. Our transport covers page covers curtain-siders and other truck covers.
Custom Tarps for Farms and Agriculture
Farms use custom tarps for hay covers, grain and feed storage, machinery covers and stockpiles. Canvas and poly fabric are the usual choices where breathability matters.

Custom Tarps for Mining and Heavy Industry

Custom Tarps for Events, Warehouses and General Use
We also make ground covers and weather protection tarps for events and markets, and custom tarps for warehousing, pallets, bins and storage.
Printed and Branded Custom Tarps
A custom tarp can carry your business name or logo. Branding and print options can be built into the order, and our print and design services page explains our print options.
How to Order a Custom Tarp From LJ Covers
To quote a custom tarp accurately, we need to know:
- The finished size, or the size of the load, trailer or area the tarp has to cover.
- What the tarp will be used for and how long it will stay outside.
- Your preferred material, if you have one.
- The fittings you need and where they go, including eyelet spacing.
- How many tarps you need.
Send these details through the quote form with a photo or drawing if you have one, or bring the item into the workshop so we can measure it. Turnaround depends on the size of the tarp, the fittings and the current workshop load, and we give you a lead time when we quote.
Custom Tarp Repairs
If your existing tarp is still sound, a repair can get it back into service. We patch tears, replace eyelets, re-rope hems and reinforce corners on canvas, poly fabric and PVC tarps. Our tarp repairs page explains the repairs we do and our onsite repair service across South East Queensland.
