    I have a 4 ft drop set that is ripstop and a 6ft drop set that is lighter oz vinyl. Both from tri city canvas and I’ve used both for a few years without much issue. If you make it to Montana they sell 18oz stretch vinyl that is sweeet called Tip Top Tarps. Here is a screenshot of a video I took. Sorry it isn’t a better photo. You can see my tri city tarps close to the camera and the stretch Tip Top Tarps in the background.

    Oh I would also HIGHLY SUGGEST felt padding. I know it’s expensive I bought some from tri city canvas and that shop on midlothian TX. It’s worth the money and is a thousand times better than garbage moving blankets. I’d also like to edit this and add if I could do it again I would get a 4ft set, an 8ft set, and one 16x16 machine tarp. Nothing makes me more mad then using a whole other tarp just to cover the last 2-3 feet.
