Dump Truck Mesh Tarp 7ft x 14ft - Heavy Duty Black Netting

Our review of the dump truck mesh tarp finds it best suited for contractors, landscapers and truck owners who need a practical, heavy duty cover that keeps load spillage down while allowing airflow. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of thick vinyl coated mesh and reinforced hems that resist wind flap and limit tearing during regular use, while the built-in pocket makes deployment and retraction with a crossbar straightforward. Overall it performs as a value-minded, functional solution for covering loose cargo.

Key Features

• Mesh construction: The vinyl coated woven mesh provides airflow to reduce wind stress and help prevent spattering of loose material.
• 6-inch pocket opening: A vinyl-lined pocket runs along the edge so a crossbar can slide through for easy forward and backward movement of the tarp.
• Premium materials: The heavier 11 oz/sqyd coating and 1000D base yarns improve durability compared with typical 800D tarps.
• Reinforced hems: Double needle stitch webbing around all four hems adds strength to resist ripping and tearing at stress points.
• Upgraded grommets: 2# thicker copper grommets placed every 2 ft with a black oxide finish reduce rust risk and provide secure fastening points.

Who It's For

This tarp is aimed at users who haul loose material in medium to large dump bodies and need a breathable cover that controls spillage while standing up to regular use. It is particularly useful where airflow is important to cut down wind flap and to extend tarp life.

Those who need a fully waterproof tarpaulin, a custom-fit rigid tonneau, or a lighter, inexpensive temporary cover may want to look elsewhere; the mesh design trades waterproofing for airflow and debris containment rather than full weather protection.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable vinyl coated 11 oz/sqyd mesh gives a robust feel and better abrasion resistance.
• Reinforced double needle webbing around hems minimizes ripping at the edges under load.
• Convenient 6 in pocket allows easy use with a crossbar for fast deployment and adjustment.
• Thicker copper grommets every 2 ft resist corrosion and secure tie-downs reliably.

Cons

• Mesh design is not waterproof, so it will not fully protect against heavy rain or fine dust infiltration.
• Some buyers report mixed experiences with long-term durability under very heavy or abrasive loads.

Our Verdict

The 7 ft x 14 ft mesh tarp is a practical, cost-effective choice for truck owners who need a breathable, reinforced cover to prevent spillage and reduce wind damage. Its heavier 11 oz mesh, reinforced hems and sturdy grommets make it a good value for routine hauling, provided buyers accept that mesh trade-offs mean it is not a waterproof solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tarp keep loose material from flying out?
The mesh design holds down larger debris and reduces spattering, but very fine dust may pass through; it is intended to control spillage rather than provide a sealed barrier.

Can a crossbar be used to open and close the tarp?
Yes, the 6 in vinyl-lined pocket is specifically designed so a crossbar can slide through to move the tarp forward and backward.

Is the tarp treated against UV and rust?
The fabric is UV and flame resistant, and the copper grommets have a black oxide finish to reduce rusting over time.
