How It Works
Five steps to secure a tarp on any roof - no roof penetrations.
Installation Steps
Determine the Materials Needed
Measure the damaged area to determine the tarp size, then gather what you need: a heavy duty polyethylene tarp, furring strips for the perimeter, enough TarpBags for the perimeter, screws, and a standard garden hose.
Position Your Tarp and Roll Furring Strips
Lay a heavy duty polyethylene tarp over the damaged area. Place furring strips along the perimeter and roll the tarp edge tightly around the strips to create a secure anchor edge.
Secure TarpBags to the Furring Strips
Position empty TarpBags along the rolled edges and fasten them to the furring strips using screws. Fasteners go into the wood strips only, not the roof.
Fill with Water
Connect a standard garden hose and fill each TarpBag on site. Each bag fills in a few minutes and provides controlled weight distribution.
Using the Quick Connect Kit
The optional Quick Connect Kit makes filling faster on multi-bag jobs. Screw an adapter into each TarpBag’s fill port, clip the hose’s quick-connect on, and turn the valve a quarter turn to fill.
When the bag is full, pop the hose off and move to the next one. The same fitting is used to drain the bags at takedown.
Secure the Perimeter
Continue placing filled TarpBags along the perimeter to fully secure the tarp without roof penetration.
