Expert Insights

The Ground Tarp Plus is a major upgrade from the standard ground tarp. At 130 mil thickness, the polypropylene material is substantially thicker and more puncture-resistant than standard polyester blended PVC. Choose the Plus when deploying berms on extremely rough terrain: quarry sites, gravel yards, construction zones with concrete rubble, or rocky soil. The 12x22 ft. size is the smallest Plus tarp, suitable for smaller berm setups. At 54 lbs, it requires two people to deploy. For standard gravel or paved surfaces, the regular Ground Tarp may be sufficient and costs less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Containment Berm Ground Tarp Plus, 12x22'

How is Ground Tarp Plus different from standard Ground Tarp?

Ground Tarp Plus uses 130 mil polypropylene, which is significantly thicker and more puncture-resistant than the polyester blended PVC used in standard ground tarps. The Plus is designed for extremely rough surfaces.

When do I need Ground Tarp Plus versus standard?

Use Ground Tarp Plus on quarry sites, gravel yards, construction zones with concrete rubble, or rocky soil. Standard ground tarps work well on regular gravel or paved surfaces.

What size berm does this fit under?

The 12x22 ft. tarp works with smaller containment berms. Select a tarp that extends at least 1-2 ft. beyond the berm footprint on all sides.

Is this tarp reusable?

Yes. Inspect for damage after each use. The 130 mil polypropylene is highly durable and resists repeated use on rough surfaces.

Do I need a ground tarp under my berm?

A ground tarp is highly recommended for any berm placed on rough surfaces like gravel, broken asphalt, or rocky ground. The tarp protects the berm liner from punctures and abrasion that can cause leaks. It also provides an additional barrier between contained liquids and the ground in case of liner damage.
