Tarpaulin Sheeting & Rubble Sacks

Learn more about tarpaulin sheeting & rubble sacks

Site protection and waste disposal are critical to maintaining a safe working environment. Our tarpaulin sheets feature reinforced hems and rust-resistant eyelets, allowing for secure tie-downs on scaffolding or roof exposures. Alongside textiles, our rubble sacks are manufactured from thick, puncture-resistant polythene, specifically formulated to handle sharp edges like broken concrete, slate, bricks and blocks without tearing.

 

Keep your site clean, safe, and protected from the elements with our range of heavy-duty tarpaulin, plastic sheeting, and rubble sacks. Engineered to withstand the toughest conditions on site, our selection provides reliable weather protection, temporary screening, and robust waste management solutions. Whether you need a highly durable waterproof tarpaulin to cover timber and sheet materials or high-tensile builder's sacks that won't split under the weight of masonry, Travis Perkins has you covered.

 

Typical uses

 

• Weather protection: Covering exposed roofs, timber deliveries, and building materials from rain and frost.

 

• Waste disposal: Safely collecting and transporting heavy, sharp construction debris, soil, and garden waste.

 

• Dust & over-spray barriers: Creating temporary partitions inside buildings during plastering, sanding, or painting.

 

• Ground protection: Laying down durable poly sheeting to protect existing floors or lawns during heavy foot traffic.

 

How to choose the right tarpaulin sheeting & rubble sacks

Selecting the correct grade prevents material failure on site:

 

• Tarpaulin weight (GSM): A higher GSM (Grams per Square Metre) indicates a thicker, tougher sheet. Lightweight sheets (around 80-110 GSM) are ideal for quick dust covers, while heavy-duty options (200+ GSM) are required for long-term outdoor exposure and wind resistance.

 

• Rubble sacks: Ensure you select UV-stabilised, heavy-gauge bags for outdoor storage. For heavy, damp materials like soil or wet plaster, look for multi-pack trade options with reinforced seams.

 

Before you order

 

• Always calculate the total area you need to cover and allow for extra material if you intend to wrap or secure the edges of a structure. 

 

• When ordering rubble sacks, consider the total volume and weight of your waste; it is often more efficient to buy in bulk trade packs to ensure you have enough heavy-duty bags to last the entire demolition phase.
