In a market where quality, performance and versatility are paramount, Ricky is proud to introduce its latest addition to the technical textiles range: Protarp. Engineered specifically for Australian conditions, Protarp is a robust, reinforced PVC fabric designed to meet the diverse needs of outdoor and commercial applications.
Whether you're fabricating a marquee, sports cover, umbrella canopy or a general-purpose tarp, Protarp delivers the strength and reliability that professionals demand. Its durable construction and premium finishes make it the ideal choice for customers who want a dependable solution that stands up to the elements.
Made for Australia Protarp isn’t just a standard PVC—it’s a fabric developed with the Australian market front-of-mind. Manufactured using high-quality raw materials and under stringent quality control standards, it provides consistent performance and peace of mind in harsh and variable climates.
The fabric is UV stabilised, ensuring it maintains its colour and performance over time, even under long-term sun exposure. Whether installed in sunny coastal regions or the dusty interior, Protarp resists degradation, giving your projects lasting visual and structural integrity.
Fire Retardant and Commercial-Ready When safety and compliance are non-negotiable, Protarp rises to the occasion. It is fire retardant, meeting the requirements of commercial installations, making it suitable for event infrastructure, public spaces and environments where elevated safety standards are a must.
Acrylic Lacquer Finish for Protection and Maintenance To make things even easier for installers and end-users, Protarp is coated with a protective acrylic lacquer. This top layer not only enhances its resistance to dirt and contaminants, but also simplifies cleaning and prolongs the life of the fabric. It’s ideal for high-use environments where ease of maintenance is a bonus.
Strength Where It Counts Backed by excellent tear and tensile strength, Protarp performs reliably across applications where fabrics are tensioned, folded, or repeatedly manipulated. Its reinforced structure gives it the kind of toughness you want in heavy-duty environments, without compromising flexibility or ease of fabrication.
Big Coverage, Better Value With an impressive 320cm width, Protarp allows for wider spans, fewer seams, and more efficient fabrication. It’s a practical option for large-scale projects such as commercial umbrellas, gymnasium curtains or event shelters, offering both visual consistency and structural simplicity.
Custom Options to Suit Every Project Protarp also comes in a blockout version, making it perfect for applications where complete light control is needed. Whether you're creating an outdoor classroom, a pop-up retail space, or a protective cover for sensitive goods, there's a Protarp solution to suit your needs.
Confidence Backed by Warranty To round it all out, Protarp is supported by a 2-year warranty. While it's built tough and tested for durability, we believe in offering peace of mind that your investment is protected.
