Cheap tarps fail fast
Hardware store poly tarps tear in wind and leak in rain – false economy when your home is on the line.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQs - Roof Tarp Hire for Owner Builders
What size tarp do I need?
As a general rule, your tarp should overlap the ridge by at least 600mm on each side and extend past the eaves. We carry a full range from 3m x 10m up to 9m x 12m – suitable for everything from small repair jobs to full roof coverage on large builds. Not sure what size you need? Check our pricing page for the full size guide or call us on 1800 82 77 77 and we’ll help you choose.
How quickly can I get a tarp delivered?
We offer same day delivery across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane metro areas. Book online before midday for the best chance of same day dispatch. For urgent requirements call us directly on 1800 82 77 77 and we’ll do everything we can to get a tarp to you fast.
Can I extend my hire if the job runs over?
Absolutely! Just call us before your current hire period ends and we’ll extend it week by week for as long as you need. We understand owner builder timelines change constantly. No lock-in contracts, no penalties, no drama.
Is it cheaper to buy a tarp from a hardware store?
It might seem that way upfront but hardware store poly tarps typically last only a few weeks before they tear, leak or degrade under UV exposure. Then you’re buying another one. And another. A Flynn Tarps heavy duty PVC hire gives you a purpose built, quality checked tarp for the entire duration of your project for a comparable or lower total cost, with none of the hassle of repeated replacement.
Do I need to pay upfront when I book?
No, there’s no upfront payment required when you book online. We’ll send a full tax invoice once the job is finished and the tarps are collected.
Do you offer account facilities for builders?
No problem at all! Owner builder timelines are rarely set in stone and we understand that completely. Just call us on 1800 82 77 77 when the job is finished and the tarps are folded and ready for collection. We’re here to make your build easier, not harder.

WHAT WE KNOW
35 years industry experience
Queensland’s weather is unforgiving – intense UV, sudden storms and heavy downpours can leave a building site or property exposed within minutes. Builders, asbestos removalists and insurers across Brisbane know that leaving a site uncovered isn’t an option.
With cheap poly tarps, Brisbane’s harsh sun breaks down the material in days, leaving your project exposed and your client unprotected.
