The TarpDevil Is a Brand-New Innovation

This cover management system is a custom engineered tool built specifically with the golf course superintendent in mind. Its purpose is clear; to reduce the burden of deploying and collecting tarps and significantly increase the lifespan of covers through proper handling and storage.

Conservative estimates suggest that TarpDevil will pay for itself in two to three seasons with the short-term returns coming from labor efficiencies and the longer-term return coming from an extension of cover life spans through proper handling and storage.
