I have to layout a 16 x 12 ft (size of tarpaulin) document in Photoshop, but when I change the resolution to 300 it's too large and it takes time to render the layout. What should I do?

They will likely print at 200 or 100dpi, depending on the type of print format. I would call the printer and ask for their file specifications as the person stated above.

Talk to the printer (the person not the machine). They will likely tell you what scale and/or resolution to work at.
You most likely do not need to work at 300ppi at full scale. It is more common for large format printing to work at a smaller scale or lower resolution (refer to point 1.)
Read through the answer here: I need to print an image at a certain size. What dimensions and resolution should I use?
