Agricultural Covers & Tarps
Margins in agriculture get won and lost on the small stuff. Torn covers can let in a frost that ruins a crop, a pond liner may develop a slow leak and drain a season's worth of irrigation water, and a barn curtain that fails in February can leave livestock exposed to a cold snap. That's where we can help.
Reef Industries has been manufacturing the reinforced film laminates that farmers, ranchers, hatchery operators, and greenhouse growers depend on for more than 65 years. Our materials cover the protection, containment, and climate-control jobs that keep crops, animals, and water where they belong.
Featured Brands
- Griffolyn®: Reinforced polyethylene laminates engineered for crop covers, barn and poultry curtains, hay covers, greenhouse covers, and other above-ground agricultural applications. Available in fire-retardant, UV-stabilized, and cold-crack-resistant grades.
- Permalon®: Cross-laminated, alloyed polyethylene geomembranes for water containment. The go-to material for pond liners, aquaculture tanks, fish hatcheries, irrigation reservoirs, and hydroponics and aquaponics systems, available in 20-mil and 30-mil thicknesses.
- Armorlon®: Reinforced laminates and coated fabrics built for heavier-duty containment and equipment protection on the farm, including livestock equipment covers, hay tarps, and contaminated soil containment.
Barn and Poultry Curtains
Roll-up barn curtains and poultry curtains regulate ventilation, control ambient temperature, and protect livestock from rain, snow, wind, and extreme heat. Griffolyn TX-1200, TX-1600, and Type-85 are among the most commonly specified grades for curtain applications, offering UV stabilization, cold-crack resistance down to subzero temperatures, and tear strength that holds up to repeated roll cycles.
We can custom-fabricate curtains to exact opening dimensions, with options for grommets, pipe loops, rope-in-hem, and zipper access. The same products work as livestock curtains for dairy, swine, and cattle operations.
Crop and Greenhouse Covers
Crop covers shield plants from frost, hail, sun scorch, pests, and wind, while helping conserve soil moisture and moderate temperature swings during sensitive growth stages. Griffolyn® greenhouse covers come in clear, white, and black grades to match the growth stage, and they work with most standard greenhouse lock channel systems.
Growers using these covers can cut utility costs by harnessing natural sunlight and outdoor air rather than relying on supplemental heating and lighting. Hay covers, grain covers, and prairie dog barriers extend the same reinforced polyethylene technology to other field applications where standard poly sheeting tears too quickly to be cost-effective.
Pond Liners and Aquaculture Containment
Water management is one of the highest costs in any agricultural or aquaculture operation. Permalon® pond liners are cross-laminated, alloyed polyethylene membranes that resist punctures and tears, minimizing water loss and protecting the underlying soil.
Permalon is non-toxic to fish and plants, cold-crack tested to -60°F, and available in 20-mil and 30-mil thicknesses. Sheets can be factory-fabricated up to an acre in size, which means most installations skip the cost of an installation crew entirely.
The same product line covers aquaculture pond liners, raceway liners, fish hatchery tanks, hydroponics and aquaponics systems, and irrigation reservoirs. Custom three-dimensional drop-in tank liners are available for cylindrical and rectangular tanks where a flat liner won't fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Agricultural Covers & Tarps
Are Permalon pond liners safe for fish, livestock, and irrigation water used on edible crops?
Yes. Permalon is non-toxic and has been used in fish hatcheries, livestock watering tanks, and irrigation reservoirs for decades without affecting water quality or crop health. The material does not leach into water and is approved for use in food-adjacent applications. Operators running organic certifications can request specific compliance documentation.
How long do livestock curtains typically last in service?
With proper installation and standard care, Griffolyn curtains routinely give 7 to 10 years of service, often longer in mild climates. UV exposure, mechanical wear on roll-up systems, and curtain handling during seasonal changes are the main factors that determine service life. Damaged sections can often be repaired in the field with seam tape rather than replacing the entire curtain.
Do you ship internationally to agricultural operations outside the U.S.?
Yes. Reef Industries ships globally from the Houston, Texas, facility and has supplied farms, hatcheries, and aquaculture operations across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. International freight quotes are provided upon request alongside product pricing.
