View Patent ↗A protective tarp construction includes a top and bottom plastic layer with at least one layer of absorbent material such as cellulose which may be paired with a superabsorbent polymer, between the top and bottom layers forming a sandwiched construction. The system includes one or more conduits for the introduction of a fluid such as water to the cellulose matting in order to saturate the absorbent material of the sandwiched construction and portions of the tarp construction may be separable along perforated separation lines.
1 . A tarp system comprising:
a top layer, a bottom layer, one or more cavities between the top and bottom layer forming a sandwiched construction with an outer border:
one or more layers of fluid absorbent material with a first thickness between the top and bottom layer;
one or more openings for fluid introduction to the one or more cavities, and wherein temporarily displaceable peel away sections are atop the one or more openings, the peel away sections defining an evaporative barrier.
2 . The tarp system according to claim 1 , the one or more layers of fluid absorbent material include cellulose fiber.
3 . The tarp system according to claim 1 , including one or more fluid carrying channels between the top and bottom layer.
4 . The tarp system according to claim 1 , wherein the sandwiched construction includes one or more separable sub-sections.
5 . The tarp system according to claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom layers include one or more of the following materials: polyester, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene.
