On a renovation site, there is a tool that we often forget... until we really need it: the construction tarp.

Indispensable, it protects, isolates, covers and secures everything that must remain safe.

To renovate a facade, redo a roof or work in the rain, the worksheet accompanies you in all situations.

The Tecplast HDPE or PVC tarps offered by Bâches Direct offer excellent resistance to weather and UV, allowing you to keep your supports clean and protected even in case of rain or wind. Discover the 5 essential uses that make the construction tarp a must-have for outdoor renovation, whether you are a building professional or a handyman.

How to cover and secure a roof under renovation?

A displaced tile, an infiltration or a roof awaiting repair? The roofing sheet quickly becomes essential to protect the framework and the interior of the building.

For a light and economical protection of medium duration, opt for our Tecplast PEHD tarpaulins, resistant and 100% waterproof. The most frequently ordered HDPE roof tarps by our clients are 4x5 tarps, 6x8 tarps, 8x12 tarps, 10x12 tarps and 10x15 tarps. 


On the Baches-Direct website, you will also find our Tecplast PVC models, guaranteed for up to 15 years, offering a perfect seal and high wind resistance. 

They are ideal for long outdoor renovations or emergencies after bad weather. 

Tecplast roofing sheets are available in many sizes, up to 15 x 20 m, or custom-made with our online configurator.

Create a temporary shelter against rain or wind

The construction tarp is perfect for sheltering a work area or weather-sensitive equipment. In a few minutes, you can set up a temporary shelter using stakes, bungee cords (turnbuckles) or lintels, thus protecting your tools and materials. Thanks to their anti-UV treatment and waterproofing, Tecplast HDPE or PVC tarps withstand prolonged rains, frost and strong winds. A major asset for working outside calmly, whatever the season.

Protect or store the material safely

At the end of the day or between two renovation steps, the protective cover allows to cover the material, the cement bags or even the tools. It effectively protects from the weather, but also from dust and dirt. HDPE tarpaulins are an economical and easy solution to quickly secure your equipment on the construction site. You can also choose a Tecplast PVC tarp, thicker and robust, for a long life and reuse at will. Depending on our models, our PVC construction tarps have a Tecplast commercial warranty of up to 15 years. 


In case of severe weather or storms, a PVC tarpaulin with eyelets, to tighten and fix it effectively, is the preferred option for building professionals.

Protect the floor and surrounding spaces during your painting work

During masonry, painting or sanding work, the ground protection tarp prevents mortar, coating or paint stains from soiling your floors, terraces or walkways.

Flexible, lightweight and easy to install, it lands in the blink of an eye and pulls away effortlessly.

Tecplast HDPE paint sheets are particularly appreciated for their lightness, tear resistance and easy handling.

For optimal protection, always plan a tarp wider than the work area to avoid material or water overflows.

For temporary protection during small projects, special painter tarp rolls are the ideal solution to protect both furniture and floors.

The scaffolding net: protection and safety on your sites

Often used in addition to a construction tarp, the Tecplast scaffolding net is essential for securing work at height and protecting the surroundings of the site.

Designed in high-strength mesh, it helps retain debris, limit dust and protect passersby or vehicles located nearby.

Easy to install, our nets adapt to all types of scaffolding. They provide natural ventilation while ensuring perfect safety on urban or residential construction sites.

From the protection of roofs to the securing of equipment, including the prevention of dirt and the protection of the surroundings, the construction tarpaulin is essential equipment for all outdoor work.

Versatile, reusable and resistant, it saves you time, cleanliness and safety on every project.

The construction tarpaulin is an essential for building professionals, for artisans and individuals who renovate their property. It protects your surfaces, secures your equipment and allows you to progress your work, whatever the conditions. 


At Bâches Direct, our professional products of the brand Tecplast accompany the sites since 2003 and are designed to adapt to all your needs.
