    I wish it was square. That last step down of 6ft screwed me. Had to throw 2 full length tarps because of it. Sucked. I really was struggling with that part. I didn't have any d-rings to do anything with there. I was at a loss.

    Yeah, just sucks when you spend a bunch of time doing something and it looks like crap. It's like hey, this is what 2 hours of my time accounts for. :(
    If it was like a 30 min throw and go.....yeah....not bad. However, it definitely wasnt.

    i like to take the end of the tarp and tuck it underneath the back of the freight. then hook bungee to both sides and pull forward as far as u can go..(not always possible if its palletized or no gap between freight and trailer) then just fold up the excess on the sides, like regular and tuck underneath.. find whatever d rings you can on the side and pull tight... those sharp ### corners tho, not sure i wouldve had enough blankets to get it all covered. i think u did a good job, its never easy tarping sharp uneven crap like that

    Well I'd prove you wrong, but I don't take pics of my sucky jobs to vindicate you, so you'll just have to take my word for it. :)
