    Well,I think I spent my whole wad there today?

    2 16x20 machine tarps, 1 24x20 machine tarp, and 2 24x18 lumber tarps with flaps. All stainless D rings with D ring flaps.

    Red 13oz material that is supposed to be stronger than the standard 18oz material. Just shy of $2k

    Will be ready sometime in the next couple of weeks.

    Get one of these. It’ll trade your current problems for a whole new set of problems....

    I’d junk the 8’ drop tarps and roll with some 6 footers instead.

    I bit of late advice. I have a green tarp from tri city canvas. Great tarp but the green won’t get clean. If I had to do it over I would get a green 10’ or 8’ section in the middle and black sides.

    The green middle section, when rolled up correctly makes the whole tarp look green. I need that for identification purposes to keep it separate from the company supplied tarps.

    This green and black tarp looks all green rolled up.

    Small colored line in the middle off the tarp.
    When you unroll them on a high load,it makes it easy to put them dead center.

    I was going to have a “d ring” row with no d rings down the middle. Shouldn’t be much. Tri city charges less then a dollar a foot with the d rings.

    Tri-City is a dangerous place. Best not to spend a lot of time there.
