    It's pretty wet up your way. I wouldn't think of leaving the road unless I walked it first.

    bungee the closest row to the rail first.

    pin it. Middle both sides. Fold up the ends. And then bungee each side. Make the bungees TIGHT. Then go up one row, every other d ring.

    I always ran my bungees to the rail. Some go underneath to the actual frame rails. Some loop back to another d ring. Experiment. The rail was always the easiest for me — despite using more bungees.

    Thank you; my company only issues out 50 bungees and I need more, but it’s a real pain getting the company to pay for it with all the red tape and last time I tried the other day when I bought 3 2 inch straps it didn’t work, used my own money and now gotta fight to get that back; I was hauling steel frames higher than the tractor by a bit (honestly need a measuring tape after that one), got one of those trailers with the winches all on one side and when I would try to get it good and tight it would lift up the other side; all I could/knew to do was use 2 inch straps

    Odd question. But any of you use rubber maid bins to store stuff in the side box?

    Flip the slack up under and bungee it. Pull the front up then the back then the middle. Do both sides like that. Then start at the back and go forward pulling the back tarp forward and the front tarp backward.

    Do the back flap first. Then sides. Then the front flap.

    I do d ring to rail to next d ring. You can save some bungies by only using 2 on the overlap area on the rear tarp your overlaping front tarp will help hold it in place and you can throw a 2 inch over the overlap and help secure it as well.
