Non destructive anchoring without roof penetration

Reusable, durable, and eco friendly
How TarpBags® Work
Three steps to secure tarps on any roof without penetration.
Position Your Tarp & Roll Furring Strips
Lay a heavy duty polyethylene tarp over the damaged area (10+ mil recommended). Place 8 foot 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 furring strips and fasten them directly to the strips using the included screws. Fasteners are secured to the wood strips only, not the roof surface.
Fill with Water
Connect a standard garden hose using a female to female adapter and fill each TarpBag® on site. Each bag fills in approximately 2 to 3 minutes and provides controlled weight distribution without roof penetration.
