    Make sure you stop by a Home Depot and get 4 or 6 of those clamps. They make all difference.

    BTW, it takes like 15min total to fold 2 8ft tarps like this. My 4ft ones I can knock out in less than 10

    It sound a little worse than it actually is. The first few times you try, it’s going to take a bit longer. After a few times, you get a system down, just like working on the ground.
    You can do 8ft drops as well. I have many times.

    Yeah took me probably a good 30 minutes total to get tarps off and folded and put away. But i like to take everything off load first so propane jockey can start unloading while i fold and put equipment away. Usually we finish at the same time

    My routine is loosen my straps, go to the other side and toss them over, from back to front, then back down the right side taking the bungees off, then roll my straps up starting at the back. Then down the driver side taking those bungees off. That's about 10-15min, then 15ish to fold the tarps. Last night I took my time and was done in 45min.
