    I knew you were lopsided, but did you have to spec your tarps lopsided, too?

    Yep, unequal pull from the bungees and the side with the extra Ds weighs more.

    Yeah, but they are very nice. I looked at the Tarpstop ones and they don't have the double stitching on the rows and these are 24oz heavier material and I have stainless D rings, as the ones at Tarpstop are just plain old steel and get rusty

    Too rich for my blood. I just look for what works best, for the price and could care less if the D-rings get rusty. I'm hooking bungees to them, not using them for body piercings. 18oz is heavy enough for me to deal with, I'm not busting my own butt with something heavier.
     
    BAYOU Thanks this.

    I got my lumber tarps and steel tarps from sioux city tarp. Was $1650 for 2 sets of 18oz lumber tarps 8ft drops and a set of steel tarps for my dads trailer. 3 rows of d rigns, gromments, all the standard jazz we've all heard before. Seem like they're pretty good quality. His steel tarps are a lot better than mine I can say that much. He has 3 rows all the way around, I have one tarp with 3 rows all the way around and one that has 3 rows on the side and 1 row on the front and back and no vynal flap to keep the hooks from rubbing through the tarp. Gets to be a pain running the rubber over the d ring and securing both hook ends to the trailer does seem to keep it tighter though.
