    Most of the places I load "can't get wet" coils at require you to put plastic bags over them before tarping.

    Home Depot, Lowes, Menards.... often called Visqueen (sp?) ... good for planting flowers in the yard after laying such plastic, so the weeds don't sprout up in undesirable (in between) locations. Works great for many things; have a few rolls on hand here, just because.

    It’s just regular rolled plastic like you would find a Home Depot. Usual near the paint section, sold in various thicknesses.

    Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

    Try this. It isnt bad. Strap only is fine. 4" hand ratchets for the passenger side rub rail and full choke wraps will make it a lot more secure. The choke strap is being pulled from both rub rails, i folded it near the hook and fed the fold into my sliding winches. The free end is thru a hand ratchet.

    any building supply store
    get the highest "mil" you can in 12' wide or 16' wide.
    by the way a rubber band on each end of the roll will control the extra
    it is great if you can find a 4' tent pole bag to store it in
