    We run oversize equip and things have sure been slow.
    We have an opportunity to run nursery (we have a rgn and a couple regular step one w 33' well) but we'll need a 50' mesh tarp. Now we have plenty of regular tarps, but don't really know if we want to go pay good money for a mesh one, do one run and decide we hate runnin nursery.
    Any thoughts?

    I used to run nursery trees. The money was pretty good, but they usually took a long time to load and we loaded in the field so if it rained could get pretty messy. Lots of mud and dirt on the trailer too. If they delivered to a garden center not bad, but some of the residential deliveries were kinda sketchy with a road tractor. Nursery provided their own tarps, they even tied the trees down and taped them for me. Actually a pretty good gig till someone undercut me and I wasn’t going to do it for less.

    I have a question.
    Can you use bird netting as a nursery tarp or a stronger than bird netting type nylon in place of a nursery tarp?
    Don't haul many loads like this but could come in handy down the road.
