Gehringer Canvas and Tent

In 1950 Robert Gehringer, a WWII veteran, decided to take the skills he learned in the South Pacific while serving for the United States Air Force and start his very own tarpaulin business.  Beginning in a small garage on 8th street in center city Reading Pennsylvania; Robert only had small sewing machine, a grommet tool, and hammer.  From there he built the strong foundation for what Gehringer Canvas has become today.  Our company takes pride in manufacturing the most popular styles of tarpaulins for any kind of trucking business.  Anything from small owner/operators to large fleets, we got you covered.  Tarps are not our only trade; Gehringer Canvas also specializes in custom covers of any kind for large industries and homeowners the same.  We can manufacture a farming chute tube or special box cover for your brand new air conditioning unit.  Visit our Products & Ordering page for details on what we have to offer.
