Tarps are often made from 100% cotton canvas. Normally the canvas has been treated to be water and mildew resistant. as well as adding color to the canvas by adding dye to the treatment. Canvas makes an excellent material for tarps, although wind and weather conditions can affect the life span of the product, and should be taken into account before deciding on a product to purchase.
Tarp manufacturers purchase raw cotton canvas and have it treated by a factory specializing in the process. Some tarp manufacturers choose to purchase already treated goods, although the availability is usually smaller quantities, indicating only the smaller manufacturers can purchase this way.
The world's cotton canvas has been "stockpiled" by China in recent times. What China decides to do with the goods they have stored will affect cotton prices on the open market, and therefore affect what tarp manufacturers will need to charge for their products.
