    I have coil tarps that go right over the coil/coils very easy and worth the money to own.

    yeah thats exactly what it is. I guess its not really different no. I ended up using my ripped tarp folded over a few times for padding. Worked fine.

    Thanks for the advice all.

    Easy answer....

    1. Put the tarp over the coil.

    2. Tie it down.

    Years ago we simply covered each roll with a piece of plasticv and used a propane torch to shrink wrap it.
