Dump Truck Mesh Tarp 8ft x 12ft - Heavy Duty Cover with 6ft Pocket

In this review the leaveshade Dump Truck Mesh Tarp 8' x 12' is evaluated for drivers and fleets that need a durable, breathable cover to keep loads contained without trapping moisture. The bottom line: this tarp is best for users who want a rugged mesh that prevents spattering and lets wind pass through, while offering reinforced hems and thicker grommets for longer life. The one big reason to consider it is the combination of heavy 11 oz/sqyd vinyl coated mesh and double-needle webbing that resists tearing in everyday dump truck use.

Key Features

• Goods protection: The open mesh design keeps material in the bed and prevents spattering while allowing airflow to reduce wind flap stress.
• 6' pocket opening: Vinyl-lined pockets accept a crossbar so the tarp can be moved forward and backward easily during loading and unloading.
• Premium materials: Heavy 11 oz/sqyd vinyl coated woven mesh with 1000D x 1000D yarns provides a sturdier base than common 800D fabrics.
• Corrosion-resistant grommets: No-rust 2# copper grommets placed every 2 ft have a black oxide finish and are thicker than typical grommets for longer service.
• Reinforced hems: Double-needle stitched webbing around all four hems reduces the chance of ripping or tearing at stress points.
• Storage bag included: The tarp ships with a zipper storage bag for neater stowage when not in use.

Who It's For

This tarp suits dump truck owners, contractors, landscapers, and municipal crews who haul loose material and need a mesh cover that balances containment and airflow. It is especially useful where wind flap and rapid wear are concerns because the fabric and construction focus on longevity.

It is less appropriate for operators who require a fully solid, waterproof tarp or those needing a custom-fitted cab shield integration without measuring; the product is offered at a standard 8 ft by 12 ft size and the 6' pocket is not included in the listed length, so careful measurement is advised.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heavy 11 oz/sqyd vinyl coated mesh resists everyday abrasion and holds up better than many lighter covers.
• Double-needle webbing and reinforced hems minimize tearing at the edges under load.
• Thicker, treated copper grommets every 2 ft reduce corrosion and pull-through failures.
• Vinyl-lined 6' pocket allows easy use with a crossbar for sliding the tarp.

Cons

• Durability feedback is mixed from customers, so extreme heavy-duty or long-term fleet use may show variable lifespans.
• The mesh design is not waterproof, so it will not protect contents from rain or fine dust penetration.

Our Verdict

The leaveshade Dump Truck Mesh Tarp 8' x 12' is a practical choice for users who need a breathable, heavy mesh cover that limits spattering and stands up to routine use. With thicker grommets and reinforced hems it offers solid value for contractors and small fleets, though those needing waterproof protection or guaranteed long-term heavy fleet duty should consider alternatives. For mixed-use hauling where airflow and containment matter, it is a cost-effective option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the listed length include the pocket?
The 12 ft length does not include the 6 in pocket; the pocket is separate and intended for a crossbar to slide through.

Is the tarp waterproof?
No, this is a mesh tarp designed for airflow and containment rather than waterproof protection.

Are the grommets corrosion resistant?
Yes, grommets are 2# copper with a black oxide finish and placed every 2 ft to resist rust and pull-through.
