Product Features

  • Flame retardantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
  • BlockoutOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. Restricts light passing through the fabric for roof, curtain or cover panels that need an opaque finish and greater control of the light behind the surface.

Yarn Size and Fabric Density

DLT-5704 records 1000D yarn in both directions and a 23×23 base construction. Denier indicates yarn linear mass, while the density entry describes the arrangement of yarns. Neither number alone gives a finished cover rating. Keep both alongside the listed tensile and tear figures when comparing reinforcement, and retain fabric direction during cutting so that the sample and finished panel can be assessed consistently.

Coating Build and Surface Selection

The knife-coated PVC faces cover the woven reinforcement and contribute to the finished 850gsm mass. Gloss and matte are appearance options; an extra blockout layer is a separate construction choice. Confirm the exact version before testing a seam or print. A material sample with the intended finish is more useful for conversion decisions than a finish name detached from the rest of the specification.

Application requirements — Truck Covers

Specify the finished cover dimensions, fixing arrangement, folding or rolling pattern and operating environment. Review tensile and tear properties, coating adhesion, abrasion at contact areas and the strength of seams and reinforced edges. State the required surface finish, flexibility and weathering conditions, and assess a sample in the proposed assembled construction.

Finished Flatbed-Tarp Configurations

The following dimensions describe a flatbed lumber tarp. Side curtains and roll-over roofs use their own body and hardware drawings.

Finished-Product Configuration Examples
SpecificationConfiguration
Flat Size Example24 × 27 ft (approximately 7.32 × 8.23 m)
Side Drop Example8 ft (approximately 2.44 m)
End Flap Example8 × 8 ft (approximately 2.44 × 2.44 m)
Panel SeamsHeat-sealed body seams
Edge ConstructionDouble-stitched hems reinforced with 2 in (approximately 51 mm) webbing
Eyelet Spacing Example2 ft (approximately 610 mm) around the specified edges
Tie-Down ArrangementThree D-ring rows with protective flaps in this configuration
Fit And RestraintSet the cover around the actual load dimensions; cargo restraint is specified separately

Construction Details

Reinforced Hem

The webbing runs within the hem to support the eyelets and stitched edge. Confirm corner and end-flap reinforcement on the finished drawing.

Protected D-Ring Attachment

D-rings are attached through reinforced areas, with flaps separating hooks from the tarp face. Choose ring positions to suit the load height and tie-down route.

Vinyl Coated Polyester: Reading the Fabric Construction

DLT-5704 is vinyl coated polyester produced by knife coating. The specified base fabric is 1000×1000D with a 23×23 construction, covered by PVC on each face. At 850gsm and 0.68mm, the finished sheet includes both textile and coating. Its total mass does not state how much belongs to either component, so the base description remains an important part of the specification.

The polyester reinforcement distributes tension through interlaced yarns. PVC forms the exposed faces, covering the textile and providing a continuous flexible surface. In knife coating, paste is spread onto the fabric, metered by a blade and heated to form the coating. The bond created at the textile interface is assessed separately from the strength of the yarn network.

The material lists tensile strength of 3400/3200N/5cm, tear strength of 320/300N/5cm and adhesion of 100N/5cm. The paired strength figures should stay in their stated fabric directions when panels are laid out. A long panel may place different demands on its length and cross direction, especially around a reinforced edge or attachment point.

Glossy and matte finishes are available in widths from 1.05m to 3.2m, with 50m or 100m rolls. Blockout is an additional option. For a proposed wagon cover, the material sample should be reviewed against the support and fixing arrangement. The construction information explains the sheet, while the cover’s dimensions, seams and service conditions require their own project specification.
