Buyers Products DTR7020 Aluminum Tarp System with Mesh Tarp 7 x 20 ft

In this review of the DTR7020 Aluminum Tarp System the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, no-frills tarp kit best suited to contractors and owners of dump trailers or small dump bodies who want a durable, easy-to-install cover. The reviewer found the kit's strongest selling point is its combination of a telescoping aluminum roller and a heavy duty 1,000 denier polyester mesh tarp with reinforced hems, which together make deployment and securement straightforward for regular jobsite use.

Key Features

• Aluminum roller: The extruded aluminum tarp roller telescopes to match the width of the truck for a tighter, custom fit.
• Durable mesh tarp: The 1,000 denier polyester mesh resists wear and allows drainage and airflow to reduce load sail on windy runs.
• Reinforced construction: Heavy double-stitched hems and brass grommets increase longevity at stress points where securement is needed most.
• Complete mounting kit: Included crank, roller, pull-rope, tie-down hooks, mounting brackets and rubber tarp straps mean no separate hardware shopping is required.
• Rear pocket for anti-sail bow: A sewn-in pocket accepts an optional anti-sail retention bow for extra wind control when needed.

Who It's For

The DTR7020 is aimed at small contractors, landscapers, and dump trailer owners who need a robust, ready-to-install tarp solution that fits common dump bodies and trailers. Its mesh construction and reinforced fittings make it a good match for users who haul loose, dusty or wet materials and need airflow plus containment.

Those who need a fully solid, heat-resistant tarp for hauling high-temperature loads should look elsewhere, or choose the solid vinyl option in the DTR Series; likewise, buyers seeking an integrated anti-sail bow should plan to purchase that accessory separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-built aluminum roller that adjusts to fit different widths for a snug installation.
• Heavy duty 1,000 denier mesh with brass grommets and double-stitched hems improves durability at anchor points.
• Comprehensive kit includes crank, pull-rope, tie-down hooks and mounting brackets for straightforward assembly.
• Rear pocket for optional anti-sail bow provides an upgrade path for windy conditions.

Cons

• Instructions receive mixed feedback, so expect to spend time aligning brackets during installation.
• Some users report occasional issues with the spring/crank mechanism, so inspect moving parts after first use.
