Tarp help...

1x 27x16 with flap
1x 24x16 with flap
1x 12x16 universal

Problem solved

 

I used carpet runners with rubber backing to protect rough edges. Buy them cheap from Cintas. New in most carpet stores. Used carpet works good also.
I'd keep several 10' long. Also insulation noodles for bolts and other rod ends.
Keeps tarps in good shape.

 

Tarps? I don’t need no stinking tarps!!!

2 24x16 machine tarps
1 16x16 machine tarp
1 junky ol smoke tarp

Can cover just about anything if I can work up the motivation $$$$.

 

I always try to secure over my felt padding so it doesn’t move on me. Some times I’ll even use bungies, doesn’t take much.

 

Yes! Learned that one the hard way. Figured my tarp would just hold that stuff in place. But I had a bad side wind in Kansas, and the tarp moved around enough for the edge protection to slide off, and wrecked my 4' drops.

 

+1 on the industrial carpet runners, they dont move on you either, but you gotta keep em dry and cant double as strap/chain protection

My bad. Made a comment on it but then saw I misunderstood so tried to delete my comment but couldnt figure out how to delete it.
