Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins 170gsm

Our Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins feature a traditional green and white striped design that suits markets, fairs and temporary outdoor retail environments.

The material has a nominal weight of 170gsm, which equals approximately 5.01 ounces per square yard. Consequently, it provides a more substantial covering than lightweight 80gsm tarpaulins.

The tarpaulins also receive UVI treatment. This treatment helps reduce material degradation caused by sunlight during suitable outdoor use. However, it does not make the material permanently UV-proof or establish a guaranteed outdoor lifespan.

A range of sizes allows customers to select the most suitable dimensions for their stall or intended covering application. Each selected size comes as an individual tarpaulin.

Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins Specifications

The 170gsm figure describes the nominal material weight per square metre rather than the total weight of the complete tarpaulin. Therefore, the overall product weight will depend on the selected dimensions.

Green and White Striped Design

The green and white striped pattern creates a traditional appearance that works well across many market, retail and event environments.

It can help a temporary trading area look more distinctive than a plain-coloured cover. Furthermore, the striped design suits stalls selling produce, plants, crafts, gifts, household products and many other suitable items.

The exact green shade, stripe width and position of the pattern may vary slightly between manufacturing batches or sizes. Individual tarpaulins may also display different sections of the repeated pattern.

Photography, lighting and screen settings can affect how the colours appear online. Therefore, request a material sample where available if a particular shade or pattern match is important.

UVI-Treated Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins

These tarpaulins receive UVI treatment to help limit the damaging effects of ultraviolet light during suitable outdoor use.

Sunlight can gradually affect colour, flexibility and material strength. Therefore, UVI treatment provides a useful feature for tarpaulins that may spend time outdoors.

However, performance still depends on:

• The intensity of sunlight
• Exposure duration
• Season
• Temperature
• Weather conditions
• Installation method
• Material tension
• Storage conditions
• Cleaning products
• General handling

UVI-treated does not mean that the tarpaulin will remain unaffected by sunlight indefinitely. Inspect the material regularly and replace it if it becomes faded, brittle, cracked or otherwise damaged.

Choosing a Market Stall Striped Tarpaulin Size

Measure the complete stall frame or area before selecting the required size.

For a roof cover, measure the full distance across the roof rather than the ground-level footprint alone. Additionally, allow sufficient material for any slope, overhang and suitable attachment method.

For side covers, measure the width and height of each opening. Then allow additional material around the edges where overlap or securing space is required.

When measuring:

1. Record the complete length.
2. Measure the full width.
3. Include slopes or angled roof sections.
4. Measure any required side drop.
5. Allow suitable overlap.
6. Include enough material for the chosen securing method.
7. Select the closest suitable size.

Tarpaulin dimensions are nominal. Consequently, folds, hems and manufacturing tolerances may affect the exact finished measurement.

Positioning Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins

Inspect the stall frame before fitting the cover. Remove or protect sharp edges, damaged poles and protruding fixings that could puncture the material.

Unfold the tarpaulin carefully on a clean surface. Next, lift it over the stall rather than dragging it across the ground or framework.

Larger covers may require more than one person to position safely. Coordinated lifting can prevent snagging and reduce uncontrolled movement.

Arrange roof covers with sufficient slope so water can run away. Standing water adds considerable weight and may stretch the material, damage the stall frame or cause the cover to move.

Securing Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins

Secure the tarpaulin evenly using a method suitable for the stall, cover and expected weather conditions.

Avoid pulling one section excessively tight. Although even tension can reduce flapping, overtightening may place unnecessary stress on the material or its attachment points.

Check the cover throughout the trading period because wind and repeated movement can loosen the securing arrangement.

Do not depend on the tarpaulin to stabilise the stall frame. Instead, assemble, weight and secure the complete stall according to the frame manufacturer’s instructions and local market requirements.

Ropes, bungee cords, ratchet straps, weights and other accessories are not included unless the product listing specifically states otherwise.

Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins for Roof Covers

The green and white striped design makes these tarpaulins suitable for use as temporary roof covers on compatible market stall frames.

Position the sheet so it covers the required area and allows water to drain safely away from the stall, stock and customer walkways.

Avoid creating low areas where rainwater could collect. Even a relatively small pool of water can add substantial weight to the tarpaulin and structure.

The stall operator should inspect the roof cover throughout the day, particularly after rain or changing weather conditions.

Do not use the tarpaulin as permanent roofing or assume that it makes the complete structure suitable for every weather condition.

Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins for Side Covers

Customers can also use the tarpaulins as suitable stall sides, temporary screens or rear covers.

Side covers may help shield stock and equipment from dust, dirt, wind and light weather exposure. They can also create a more defined display or storage area.

However, a large vertical tarpaulin can act like a sail in windy conditions. Therefore, secure it carefully and monitor the complete stall structure.

Open, loosen or remove side covers if required by the weather conditions or stall manufacturer’s guidance. Never remain beneath an unstable stall or attempt to adjust a large cover during dangerous weather.

Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins for Outdoor Events

These covers can suit suitable fairs, festivals, outdoor exhibitions and seasonal events.

The striped design helps create a recognisable traditional stall appearance. Additionally, the 170gsm construction provides a practical balance between substance and manageability.

Before an event, confirm:

• The required tarpaulin dimensions
• Frame compatibility
• Site rules
• Fixing requirements
• Weather forecasts
• Fire-safety requirements
• Access and emergency routes
• Overnight storage arrangements
• Stall-weighting requirements

Some event organisers require certified flame-retardant covers. We have not confirmed this product as flame retardant. Therefore, check the organiser’s requirements before ordering or installing the tarpaulin.

Weather and Water Considerations

These tarpaulins can provide temporary weather covering for suitable market stalls and stock. However, we have not specified a waterproof rating or hydrostatic-head performance.

Position the cover with adequate slope and overlap. Furthermore, inspect seams, folds and attachment areas during use.

Do not allow water to pool on top of the stall. Remove standing water only when it is safe to do so and without standing beneath an unstable or overloaded cover.

For high-value, moisture-sensitive or perishable stock, use additional appropriate packaging and storage protection.

Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins and Wind

Wind can exert considerable force on both the tarpaulin and stall frame.

Secure the cover evenly and avoid leaving loose sections that could flap. Nevertheless, excessive tension can also damage the material or pull against the frame.

Check local weather conditions before setting up. During use, monitor:

• Loose fixings
• Flapping material
• Movement within the stall frame
• Lift at the cover edges
• Stretching around attachment areas
• Leaning poles
• Shifting weights
• Torn or damaged material

Remove the cover and dismantle the stall if conditions exceed the safe limits of the complete structure.

Condensation and Ventilation

Tarpaulin roof and side covers can restrict airflow around the stall. As a result, condensation may form beneath the material as temperatures and humidity change.

Allow ventilation where appropriate and safe. Additionally, avoid trapping damp stock, packaging or equipment beneath the cover for extended periods.

Condensation may drip onto products or displays. Therefore, keep moisture-sensitive stock inside appropriate protective packaging.

Food traders should also consider ventilation, hygiene and temperature-control requirements when arranging a covered stall.

Market Stall Safety

Inspect the tarpaulin, frame and securing equipment before every use.

Safe working measures may include:

• Using a compatible stall frame
• Weighting or anchoring the frame correctly
• Removing sharp projections
• Keeping customer routes clear
• Avoiding loose ropes at ground level
• Checking overhead clearance
• Monitoring changing weather
• Keeping the cover away from heat and flames
• Removing damaged tarpaulins from service
• Following the market organiser’s rules

Do not create trip hazards with loose ropes, fixings or folded material. Furthermore, make sure the cover does not obstruct emergency exits, signs or pedestrian routes.

Heat and Flame Limitations

Keep the tarpaulin away from:

• Open flames
• Barbecues
• Gas burners
• Portable heaters
• Hot cooking equipment
• Sparks
• Welding work
• Hot exhausts
• Unprotected electrical equipment
• High-temperature lighting

We have not confirmed the material as flame retardant. Therefore, do not use it where legislation, the event organiser or a workplace risk assessment requires certified flame-retardant sheeting.

UVI treatment relates to ultraviolet exposure. It does not provide flame resistance or heat protection.

Temporary Covering Limitations

A 170gsm striped tarpaulin suits many temporary market and event applications. However, it does not replace a purpose-designed permanent structure.

Do not rely on it as:

• Permanent roofing
• Structural weather protection
• A load-bearing component
• A safety net
• Fall protection
• Vehicle load restraint
• A lifting product
• Certified containment sheeting
• A flame-retardant cover
• A guaranteed waterproof enclosure
• Insulated protection
• A replacement for correct stall weights or anchors

Assess the location, weather, stall design and value of the stock before choosing the complete covering arrangement.

Handling Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins

Handle the material carefully to reduce punctures, tears and abrasion.

Lift the tarpaulin instead of dragging it across concrete, brickwork, gravel or rough stall components. In addition, protect it from nails, screws and sharp frame edges.

Ask for assistance when handling a large cover. Strong wind can make even a folded or partly installed tarpaulin difficult to control.

Do not walk across a loose or wet tarpaulin because its surface may become slippery.

Cleaning Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or clean cloth. Where appropriate, wash the material using clean water and a mild cleaning solution.

Test cleaning products on a small and less visible section first. Strong chemicals, solvents and abrasive tools may damage the surface or affect the green and white pattern.

Rinse away cleaning residue and allow the tarpaulin to dry completely before folding.

Do not use direct flames, high-temperature equipment or excessive heat to dry the material.

Folding and Storing Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins

Clean and dry the Market Stall Striped Tarpaulins before storage.

Lay the cover on a clean surface and fold it into manageable sections. Avoid forming sharp folds around damaged or weakened areas.

Store the folded tarpaulin in a clean, dry place away from:

• Direct sunlight
• Excessive heat
• Moisture
• Sharp objects
• Chemicals
• Rodents
• Moving machinery
• Heavy items that could crush or puncture it

Although the tarpaulin receives UVI treatment, storing it away from unnecessary sunlight may help preserve its appearance and condition.

Repairing Minor Damage

Small tears may allow temporary repair using a suitable tarpaulin repair product.

Clean and dry the affected area before applying the repair material. After completing the repair, inspect the section regularly.

A repair may not restore the tarpaulin’s original appearance or performance. Replace the complete cover where:

• Damage continues to spread
• Several holes or tears appear
• Attachment areas fail
• The material becomes brittle
• The striped surface separates
• The cover can no longer remain secure
• The application requires dependable protection

The tarpaulin should not contact exposed food unless suitable documentation confirms that application. Additionally, food businesses must follow their hygiene, ventilation and contamination-control procedures.

PPWR Compliance Information

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2025/40, establishes requirements for packaging placed on the EU market. Further information appears in the European Commission’s packaging guidance.

A tarpaulin normally functions as a reusable covering rather than disposable packaging. However, businesses using it as part of a packaging arrangement should assess the complete format and the obligations relevant to its materials, intended use and destination market.

This description does not constitute a declaration of PPWR compliance. Please contact us if you require available product information for a particular application.
