PALMDALE, CA, January 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) In the year 2010 the sales of canvas tarps have hit their highest mark in all of tarp history. This is due to a number of causes. There have been an incredible number of natural disasters in the past months, all of which have utilized the canvas tarp in amazing numbers. There have actually been shortages of these items this year, leaving manufacturers scrambling to increase their production. While this has been a bit unusual from past years, many are predicting that sales will again hit records in the upcoming year, 2011.
The canvas tarps have become a symbol of hope in many parts of the world this year as individuals and families faced some of the most difficult times of their life. People who were homeless found a home. People who were cold and wet found a warm dry place. And those who needed to patch homes that were damaged during torrential storms could do so, thus protecting the inside of their home until help could arrive.
Everyone has heard about the terrible disaster that affected Haiti. This was an earthquake that was one of the worst out world has ever faced. Thousands were rendered homeless, and many found that their shelter depended on whether or not they could get their hands on a canvas tarp for coverage. The same happened in Pakistan after heavy flooding. And again in the southern U. S. And Caribbean islands after the presence of hurricanes was felt.
The benefit of these tarps is that they are very affordable, and yet they are durable and sturdy and will last for a long period of time. Many have donated tarps this year, including the manufacturers, who have taken their part of helping those who are suffering and less fortunate around the planet very seriously.
A spokes person for Tarps Plus stated, "We decide our inventory of canvas tarps carefully each year too make sure that tarps are on hand in case of a disaster."
Although we can only hope that our world will not have to experience natural disasters of the same proximity that we saw in 2011, it is always best to be prepared. Tarp makers are working diligently to produce plenty of their goods so that they will be prepared should another disaster of any type occur.
