Clear Vinyl Tarps Built for Extreme Cold Winter Climates

When standard clear vinyl tarps crack and fail in freezing temperatures, our Extreme Cold Clear Vinyl Tarps keep performing. Built from a specialized PVC formulation with cold crack resistance rated to -20°F, these tarps are designed specifically for harsh winter climates where conventional tarps fall short. If you need an American made weatherproof covering for a porch, patio, backyard construction project, or any outdoor equipment in extreme cold conditions, these are built for the job.

Made from tear and abrasion-resistant clear PVC fabric with double-lock stitched hems for added strength and durability. Available in any custom size with options including extra grommets, turn buckles, and reinforced webbing. Like all clear vinyl tarps, these can expand or contract by 1"–2" depending on temperature swings — engineered to stay sealed and secure even in the most demanding cold weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Extreme Cold Clear Vinyl Tarps

What makes these tarps different from standard clear vinyl tarps?

Our Extreme Cold Clear Vinyl Tarps use a specialized PVC formulation with cold crack resistance rated to -20°F. Standard clear vinyl tarps are rated to -10°F. In temperatures below that threshold, standard PVC becomes brittle and can crack or split. These tarps are engineered specifically to stay flexible and intact in extreme winter climates where conventional tarps fail.

What temperature range can these tarps handle?

These tarps are cold crack resistant down to -20°F, making them suitable for the harshest winter climates in North America. Like all vinyl tarps, they can expand or contract by 1"–2" depending on temperature swings — this is normal behavior and does not affect performance or weather sealing.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Every Extreme Cold Clear Vinyl Tarp is made to your exact dimensions. Choose your width, height, and mounting options including extra grommets, turn buckles, and reinforced webbing. There is no minimum order. Custom orders ship in 7–10 business days.

What mounting hardware is included?

Standard 1" brass grommets are included in all four corners. Additional options include extra grommets along the edges, turn buckles for tensioned installations, and heavy-duty webbing reinforcement. Select your preferred hardware when placing your order.

Are these tarps see-through?

Yes. These are clear PVC vinyl tarps that provide full visibility while blocking wind, rain, snow, and cold. They transmit natural light and maintain optical clarity even in extended cold weather conditions, making them ideal for porches, patios, and enclosures where sightlines matter.

Are these tarps waterproof?

Yes. The PVC vinyl construction is 100% waterproof. Combined with double-lock stitched hems and reinforced edges, these tarps create a reliable weather barrier against rain, snow, and ice in winter conditions.

How do these compare to the standard 20 mil clear vinyl tarps?

Our standard 20 mil clear vinyl tarps are cold crack rated to -10°F and are ideal for most residential and commercial applications. The Extreme Cold version uses a different PVC formulation to push that rating to -20°F for climates that regularly drop into severe cold territory. If your location stays above -10°F, standard 20 mil tarps will serve you well at a lower cost.

Where are these tarps made?

All Extreme Cold Clear Vinyl Tarps are American made using quality PVC materials. All cutting, stitching, hemming, and hardware installation is done in the USA.

What other clear tarp products do you carry?

We carry a full range of clear vinyl products for every application including custom clear vinyl tarps, 30 mil clear vinyl tarps, winter porch enclosure curtains, and gazebo curtains. Browse the full Clear Tarps collection for all options.
