Tarp Supply Inc.

We recently had a customer, Terry in Maricopa, Arizona contacts us for a round tarp for his stock tank. He was going to use the tarp to cover the tank when they were not using it as a small pool. We have certainly had customers use tarps for this in the past, but what made this customer stand out in our mind was that they found Tarp Supply via a YouTube video from Lucent Productions . He has a nice video on his deck built for the stock tank and about how to build one for yourself. The tarp he purchased from us on the video was a full-finished size 55% mesh tarp. The video demonstrates how to build the stock-tank pool in detail step-by-step. It's always been a pleasure knowing that there are customers that are happy with our products for their DIY projects.

We quoted him a round tarp in an 18oz vinyl ...
