Buying guide Custom made

Standard or custom-made? When it comes to effective protection, a custom-made tarpaulin is often the best option. Precise dimensions, professional-quality materials, customised finishes: discover why it makes all the difference. Configure your custom-made tarpaulin in 2 minutes!

Before choosing a tarpaulin, it is essential to ask yourself the right questions: what exact dimensions are required? How will you use it – to cover equipment, as temporary shelter, a pergola, or storage area? The answers to these questions will determine whether a standard tarpaulin is sufficient... or whether a custom-made tarpaulin is essential to ensure optimal protection. In this article, we explain in detail what sets a custom tarpaulin apart, its advantages and why it is often the best investment.

What is a custom-made tarpaulin?

A custom-made tarpaulin is a tarpaulin manufactured to order, according to the specific dimensions, colours and finishes requested by the customer. Unlike standard tarpaulins, it adapts perfectly to your needs, whether it is to cover equipment, protect a shelter, equip a pergola or create a storage area.

At Bâches Direct, protective tarpaulins are our speciality. Thanks to our custom-made tarpaulin workshop located in France, we produce PVC tarpaulins on demand with a high level of finish and professional materials from the Tecplast brand.

Why choose a custom-made tarpaulin?

A custom-made tarpaulin for a perfectly fitted protection

Custom-made tarpaulins provide a perfectly fitted cover without excessive tension. This ensures durability and effectiveness in protecting your property from bad weather, dust, sunlight and prying eyes. It also extends the life of the tarpaulin and better protects your equipment.

We offer durable Tecplast PVC tarpaulins that are 100% waterproof and guaranteed for up to 15 years. You can choose the quality that suits your needs (outdoor use, garden, construction site, swimming pool, etc.).

Customisable finishes

Eyelets, hems, fastenings... On the Bâches Direct website, you can configure your protective tarpaulin however you like in just a few minutes using our custom tarpaulin configurator.

A long-term, cost-effective solution

Opting for a custom-made tarpaulin is a sustainable choice. Unlike standard tarpaulins, which may be poorly fitted or unsuitable for a specific use, a customised tarpaulin fits the dimensions of your surface perfectly. The result: better durability, more effective protection and less risk of tearing or premature wear. This also means fewer replacements, and therefore lower long-term costs.

What's more, by choosing a custom-made PVC tarpaulin or waterproof tarpaulin, you are investing in a durable product that is suited to your requirements (climatic, technical, aesthetic) and, above all, pays for itself over time. Rather than accumulating purchases of unsuitable tarpaulins, you gain reliability, comfort and peace of mind... while saving money.

What are the uses for ordering a custom-made tarpaulin?

A custom-made tarpaulin is the ideal solution when you have specific requirements or an unusual structure to cover. At Bâches-Direct, we have developed customised configurators for each type of use to help you design a personalised tarpaulin that is perfectly suited to your project.
