What makes the Unique Performer Tarpaulin stack sheet different?

 

The performer hay and straw tarp has proven to be the only way to successfully tarp a stack throughout storage and using from the stack over many years life why?

The difference between and ordinary builder’s type tarpaulin and the Performer Tarpaulin.

Performer Tarp Builders Tarp
High grade of long life polyweave plastic Low grade of polyweave plastic
Exceptional quality control when manufactured Low quality control
5 layers of plastic 1 layer of plastic
7 to 8 years UV protection 12 to 18 months UV protection
Will not go brittle after 12 months use and crack Will go brittle after 12 months use
Polyweave centre for strength, two layers of black plastic one side silver, white the other N/A
Not see through, completely water proof Transparent, and will let water through

Heat under coloured plastic will "cook" the hay and nutritional losses can be extremely high to a depth of 6 feet

White colour facing up will almost completely reflect heat, temperature exchange only 1° to 2° C of heat. Coloured plastic will exchange 12° to 15° F of heat, black 30° F
Hay will not "cook" and lose value Hay will "cook" and loose feed value
Unique tie down system Eyelets
Anchor system pulls on all the sheet Ropes pull on "½" of plastic
Hem stitched along both sides N/A
Plastic pipes approximately 3 feet long with a 12 inch gap allows the anchor system to pull on all the sheet No inserts
Tarps less than 45 feet (13.7 meter) have one dropper rope every 4 feet, 1.2 meter. 45 feet, (13.7 meter) have a dropper rope every 2 feet (0.6 meter) and have a slightly longer plastic pipe insert, which has two dropper ropes attached Needs ropes to pull on a week eyelet
Square bale stacks and round bale ricks stacked high as a square bale rick will have a unique "Super Cinch" tied to the rope as an anchor point No tie down system
We supply a "J-Hook" which threads on to the dropper rope, which you crook onto the string of the bottom bale on a square bale stack, or crooks onto our under stack strapping for round bale stacks Nothing to tie to, only tyres or bales of straw to weigh down
Round bales stacked as a traditional pyramid (4-3-2-1) there is not enough room for “Super Cinch” and under strapping. We use a supplied under rope to go all the way across the stack every 4 feet (1.2 meter) to hook into “Super Cinch”, which is located on the single rope tied in a V shape to the plastic pipe insert N/A
A hem is stitched in the end of sheets that have that have a seatbelt webbing inside that in turn has a rope attached with the "Super Cinch" tie down system. This acts like a draw string. N/A
The tie down system, because of the leverage one is able to create pulling on the rope out of the "Super Cinch" (like a half hitch) your full body weight will create a pull force of between 205lb to 300 lb. two people pulling will create a pull-down fore of 450lb. Eyelet pull-down strength 50lb to 100lb
When using bales from the stack, simply release the rope by pulling down and outward, fold the sheet back in 4 feet (1.2 meter) sections, re-crook the "J-Hook" and pull-down on rope to re-tighten Untying knots and lifting off tyres etc.
Maintenance creates longer life, a tight tarp equals long life Maintenance almost impossible
To maintain, simply retighten by pulling on the ropes every day or two in the first week as stack settles, then retighten every 3 to 4 weeks or before high wind forecast and after Find blown off shredded sheet and and pay for plastic disposal and have wet fodder or bedding straw
5 years average life, can be longer if well maintained I years life if lucky
