Don’t Get Caught Without Protection: From Storm Damage to Delays
—Americover’s Got You Covered
When disaster strikes, the importance of a roof tarp cannot be overstated. Whether after severe weather, high winds, or a fire, temporary roof tarp solutions provide immediate protection for damaged roofs—preventing water intrusion, safeguarding interiors, and buying time until permanent repairs can be made.
But here’s the challenge: FEMA tarps are often in limited supply and can run out quickly during large-scale emergencies. Contractors and homeowners who rely solely on FEMA-supplied tarps may find themselves waiting when protection is needed most. That’s why keeping a dependable product like Americover’s string-reinforced plastic sheeting on hand is a smart move.
Why Choose Americover’s Plastic Sheeting to Cover Your Roof?
Depending on your chosen product, temporary solutions can last from 3 months to 4 years—making them an adaptable option for both emergency response and extended coverage. Don’t wait for FEMA tarps to run out. Protect your property with Americover’s temporary roof tarp solutions—durable, reinforced, and ready when you need them most. We stock wide-width roll sizes in select products for quick delivery wherever you need them, and custom sizes are available with an average 2–3 week lead time.

3. Fold the edges of the plastic sheeting over the tarp grippers and press them firmly to secure the sheeting in place.
4. Once the plastic sheeting is secured with the tarp grippers, drape the roof tarp over the area and use additional tarp grippers to secure the tarp to the plastic sheeting as needed.
5. Place the tarp grippers at regular intervals to prevent the tarp from lifting in the wind.
Using tarp grippers with plastic sheeting, you can effectively hold down a roof tarp and ensure it stays in place, even in challenging weather conditions.
