7' X 18' F/S Heavy Duty Mega Mesh Dump Truck Tarp

7' x 18' Heavy Duty Mega Mesh Dump Truck Tarp – The Ultimate Value in Load Containment

The 7' x 18' F/S Heavy Duty Mega Mesh Dump Truck Tarp from DeBrovys is engineered to provide maximum value and durability for commercial haulers. Designed specifically for front-to-rear (F/S) tarp systems on dump trucks and dump trailers, this tarp delivers exceptional performance in the brutal environments where roll-off and transfer trailers operate. Manufactured by DeBrovys, the Mega Mesh tarp is the ideal solution for keeping rock, gravel, and demolition debris securely contained during highway transport.

What sets the Mega Mesh apart is its incredibly dense 20x20 thread count using 1000 denier yarn. This construction makes it vastly superior to standard industry mesh, providing extreme tear resistance while remaining breathable to prevent wind-whipping. Equipped with a 6" rear pocket, a front edge spline, and full-length #6000 2" automotive-grade seatbelt webbing, this tarp is built to survive thousands of deployment cycles.

Why Mega Mesh is the Smartest Investment for Haulers

When it comes to truck tarps, the Mega Mesh material offers the absolute best value on the market. While standard black mesh is often the weakest option available, Mega Mesh boasts 20 threads per inch (20x20) compared to the industry standard 11x11. This means you get nearly double the thread density, resulting in a tarp that is more than twice as strong as standard black mesh.

Despite its massive increase in strength, the Mega Mesh tarp is priced approximately the same as a standard black mesh tarp, and is only slightly more expensive than standard multi-color options. This makes it the clear choice for operators who want maximum durability without paying a premium price. It is tough enough for the most demanding roll-off applications, yet perfectly suited for standard dump truck use.

Unmatched Edge Reinforcement

A tarp is only as strong as its edges. While competitors cut costs by using standard 500 lb. 2" webbing along their hems, DeBrovys takes a different approach. Every Mega Mesh tarp is reinforced with #6000 2" automotive-grade seatbelt webbing sewn over the double-folded side hems for the entire length of the tarp. This is the exact same high-tensile material used in vehicle safety restraints, providing unparalleled resistance to tearing, fraying, and the extreme tension applied by electric tarp systems.

Technical Specifications

Who Uses the Mega Mesh Tarp?

The 7' x 18' Mega Mesh dump truck tarp is the preferred choice for heavy-duty haulers in the following applications:

• Demolition & Scrap: Containing jagged debris, concrete, and scrap metal that would shred lighter tarps
• Aggregate & Stone: Securing loads of gravel, riprap, and crushed stone during highway transport
• Roll-Off & Transfer: Surviving the brutal conditions and high abrasion of roll-off operations
• General Construction: A versatile, long-lasting solution for everyday hauling needs

The 7-foot width and 18-foot length make this tarp ideal for standard tandem-axle dump trucks with bodies in the 16–18 foot range. The breathable mesh design allows wind to pass through, which prevents the tarp from ballooning and tearing at high speeds.

How the Front-to-Rear Tarp System Works

Front-to-rear (F/S) tarp systems utilize a cylindrical spool housing mounted at the front of the dump body, just behind the cab. When activated, the tarp unrolls from the spool and is carried rearward by aluminum arms that pivot from the sides of the dump body. These arms extend toward the rear of the truck, pulling the tarp taut over the entire load. The 6" rear pocket engages the spool at the front, while the spline on the front edge locks securely into the tarp bar.

This Mega Mesh tarp is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for most front-to-rear systems. The heavy-duty pocket, spline, and full-length seatbelt webbing ensure a secure fit that holds up through thousands of open and close cycles.

Mega Mesh vs. Vinyl Tarps

Choosing between Mega Mesh and solid vinyl comes down to your cargo. If you are hauling rock, gravel, or demolition debris, the Mega Mesh tarp is the best choice because it is lighter, breathable, and incredibly resistant to tearing from sharp objects. However, if you haul asphalt, grain, or fine topsoil where water protection is critical, you will need a Solid Vinyl dump truck tarp to provide a 100% waterproof barrier.

For extreme high-temperature asphalt hauling, you may also consider the Asphalt Lumite tarp, which is heat-resistant up to 350°F.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Mega Mesh better than standard black mesh?
Standard black mesh typically has an 11x11 thread count. Mega Mesh features a much denser 20x20 thread count using 1000 denier yarn. This makes the Mega Mesh tarp more than twice as strong as standard black mesh, offering vastly superior tear and puncture resistance for about the same price.

Will this tarp fit my dump truck?
This tarp is 7 feet wide and 18 feet long, designed for standard tandem-axle dump trucks with a body length in the 16–18 foot range. The 6" pocket and spline system are compatible with most electric and manual front-to-rear tarp systems. If you're unsure, measure your existing tarp or contact DeBrovys for assistance.

Is the seatbelt webbing really that important?
Yes. The edges of a tarp take the most abuse from wind whipping and the tension of the tarp arms. By using #6000 2" automotive-grade seatbelt webbing instead of standard 500 lb. webbing, we ensure the hems will not blow out or fray, significantly extending the life of the tarp.
