Our Story

25+ years of making things that last.

Midrand Tarp & Tent was founded in 1999 with a simple belief: that South African businesses and communities deserve high-quality canvas and PVC products built to last in our conditions, made here in South Africa.

Warranty questions come up first, so here is the plain answer. Every seam on our tents and tarps is high-frequency welded in our own factory, and our repairs are backed by a workmanship warranty. If a seam fails on a new product, call 082 601 5714 or WhatsApp us and we will look at it. Ask for the warranty details when you request your quote.

The material difference

Why Our Products Keep Performing Year After Year

Not all PVC is created equal. The real difference isn't what you seeβ€”it's what's underneath. Premium base cloth and a superior PVC coating are what give our products their strength, durability, and long service life. That's why we never compromise on quality.

πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦

South African-manufactured PVC

We use premium, locally manufactured PVC designed for African conditions. It delivers exceptional UV resistance, colour retention, and durability, ensuring our products perform reliably year after year.

🧡

Panama-weave base cloth

A tighter, stronger Panama (and half-Panama) weave gives the base cloth far more tear strength and a longer working life than the loose weaves used in budget imports.

⏳

Quality that pays off

A quality product is an investment in long-term performance. That's why every Midrand Tarp & Tent solution is built with premium materials and expert craftsmanship to deliver years of dependable service and outstanding value.
