Homeless Turn to Tarps During Cold Winter


Normally tarps are popular at construction sites, boatyards and other worksites, but this winter they were also being used as makeshift housing for homeless people.

Along the banks of the Feather River in Northern California, people with nowhere else to go used tarps as roofs over pieced-together structures when temperatures dropped to the freezing point in January, the Appeal-Democrat reported.

An estimated 30 to 40 people were camped along the river in a region without enough emergency beds for the number of local homeless people, the Marysville, Calif., newspaper reported.

Reinforced blue roof tarps like those from TarpSurplus.com have become a familiar sight at the locations of major hurricanes and other natural disasters to protect damaged rooftops.

For a few dozen homeless people perched on a California riverbank this winter, a simple tarp to protect against the elements was the only roof available.

Select the Right Lightweight Tarp

Tarps are commonly very heavy for numerous reason: for one the heavier ones are commonly the thicker and thus provided the most thorough and reliable protection (though this isn't always the case), also it’s common for people to want tarps to be heavier so that they won’t come off easily through things like the wind. However lightweight tarps can be more desirable and effective for numerous reasons as well. They can be easier to install and use, cheaper to ship, and are often just as effective as heavier ones in terms of how durable they are. Furthermore, they’re very popular to use while camping since they can function as tents and many other things and aren't difficult to carry around.

Select the Right Lightweight Tarp

When it comes to a lightweight tarp shelter the best choice is poly tarp. It’s effective as a means of shelter because it’s waterproof, and it is very light and easy to travel with. There are many different kinds of lightweight tarp, they can be poly, nylon, canvas, and more. Nylon is another good choice for lightweight tarp camping, or to make a lightweight tarp tent, because it’s similar to poly in its ability to hold off the elements. Also, for camping, and especially for hunting, a lightweight camo tarp will likely be the best choice to keep yourself concealed and low profile. Whether it be nylon or poly, and whether you want a lightweight tarp for camping or canvassing, our online store has a great selection of all the tarps that you could need!
