FAQs

1. What type of thread does GetTarps.com use in their manufacturing?

"We exclusively use "Tenara" brand thread even though it is approximately 15 times the cost of polyester or nylon because of the reasons below:

Why Does Stitching Fail?
Outdoor fabric products are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, cleaning agents, pollution, salt water, air, rain, and snow. While these elements affect both fabric and seam thread, the thread usually fails first. Traditionally, polyester thread has been used, requiring re-stitching every few years. Today's fabrics last 5 to 10 years. Why not have seams that last just as long?

Why is GORE TENARA thread Different?

Made from expanded PTFE (a unique polymer, very different from polyester), GORE TENARA thread is non-aging and will not deteriorate from exposure to the elements - even after years of exposure. More Info Here

Sewing threads were exposed to the elements in the Arizona, USA desert over three (3) years. While other threads lost over one-half of their strength, GORE TENARA thread maintained 100% of its strength.
