Proudly New Zealand made since 1989
Originally founded in 1989 as a small local workshop focused on transport covers, Tarpaulin Makers has grown into one of New Zealand’s leading PVC and Canvas fabricators, working with clients across multiple industries.
Every product we create is made right here in Tauranga, crafted by a skilled team who care deeply about quality and precision. From PVC tarpaulins to custom shade sails and flood barriers, our work is built to last in New Zealand’s conditions.
We’ve always believed in doing things the right way, with honesty, reliability, and a focus on solving problems. Whether you’re a large-scale contractor or a small business needing a one-off solution, we’re here to help you get it sorted.
A team built on skill, passion, and pride
Our people are what make Tarpaulin Makers special. Every project starts with experienced hands, practical know-how, and a genuine commitment to doing a great job. Together, we bring decades of combined experience in tarpaulin fabrication, design, and innovation.
From our workshop in Mount Maunganui, our close-knit team handles every stage of production, from concept and patterning through to finishing and installation. We take pride in what we do, and it shows in the quality of every product that leaves our floor.
Whether we’re designing a new shade sail, producing a batch of heavy-duty tarps, or responding to an urgent flood barrier order, you can count on our team to deliver. Reliable, approachable, and proud to be Kiwi made.
All our products are New Zealand made, designed for New Zealand conditions.
