Ground Sheets and Tarpaulins for Every Job in Singapore
In Singapore's construction and events industry, ground sheets and tarpaulins are essential. Whether you are protecting a construction site from monsoon rain, covering materials at a work site, laying ground protection at an outdoor event, or wrapping scaffolding for debris containment, the right tarpaulin makes the difference between a job done properly and costly damage from weather exposure.
Lion City Canvas supplies PE ground sheets, PVC tarpaulins, canvas tarpaulins, and custom-fabricated covers for every application. We are not a trading house reselling imported goods — we fabricate custom tarpaulins in-house, which means we can produce any size, any material, and any configuration of grommets, hems, and fasteners you need. For standard sizes, we keep stock ready for same-day or next-day collection and delivery.
We also offer tarpaulin rental for construction projects and events where purchasing does not make financial sense. Rental is available by the day, week, or month, and we handle delivery and collection across Singapore. Many of our construction clients maintain ongoing rental arrangements throughout multi-phase building projects.

Applications Across Singapore Industries
Ground sheets and tarpaulins serve different purposes across Singapore's key sectors.
Construction
- Scaffolding wrap and debris netting — contain dust and debris on renovation and demolition sites as required by Singapore's workplace safety regulations.
- Material protection — cover cement, steel, timber, and equipment from rain at construction sites. Prevent water damage and corrosion during Singapore's monsoon season.
- Concrete curing covers — retain moisture during concrete curing for proper strength development. Heavy-duty PVC tarpaulins resist wind lift on exposed slabs.
- Ground protection during earthworks — PE ground sheets separate soil layers, protect landscaping, and provide clean work surfaces.
Events
- Event ground cover — protect grass and turf at outdoor events, festivals, and exhibitions. Prevent mud and damage to park surfaces. Paired with our tentage solutions for complete event coverage.
- Rain protection for outdoor setups — quick-deploy tarpaulins to protect sound equipment, staging, and merchandise from sudden downpours.
- Temporary flooring underlay — ground sheets beneath temporary flooring and staging platforms for moisture barrier protection.
Industrial and Logistics
- Warehouse and yard covers — protect palletised goods and raw materials stored outdoors. PVC tarpaulins with grommets for secure tie-down.
- Truck and container covers — custom-fabricated tarpaulins for flatbed trucks, trailers, and open-top containers. Fitted with buckle or rope fastening systems.
- Machinery covers — protect construction equipment, generators, and industrial machinery from rain and dust when stored outdoors.
Tarpaulin Materials Compared
| Material | Weight (GSM) | Waterproof | UV Resistance | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PE (Polyethylene) | 80-200 | Yes | Moderate (1-2 years) | Short-term ground cover, construction |
| PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | 250-600 | Fully waterproof | High (5-8 years) | Long-term covers, industrial, trucks |
| Canvas | 200-400 | Water resistant | Good (3-5 years) | Breathable covers, timber, goods storage |
| Silpaulin | 100-200 | Yes | Good (3-5 years) | Lightweight, high-strength temporary covers |
| PVC-Coated Canvas | 300-500 | Fully waterproof | High (5-10 years) | Premium covers, marine, long-term outdoor |
For most Singapore construction applications, PE tarpaulins at 150 GSM provide the best value. For long-term or permanent installations, PVC at 300+ GSM is the better investment. We help you choose the right material for your specific application and budget.
