    Ive had my share of them. If I can get help, it’s easy to put one tarp on back wrapped around. Like the back side is the top. Then one around front. Then one long over top

    Can’t find last pic sorry

    Unfortunately mine wouldn't even be big enough to pull that off. I get what your saying tho, that makes sense.

    Standard lumber tarps tho, 8ft drops. Definitely don't make it easy. I tried a few ways with the first. The best possible solution that I worked out with one I had and the particular size of it. Ideally with these tarps. Was one over the back and the sides. One over each side which actually covered the full length and the top, threw the flap over the other side so it would lock together better. And then one on the front on top of all the others just to hold it all together.

    Hey it survived Wyoming.

    Well, got me a @D.Tibbitt load. Took 5 hours to load this in 100+ degree sun. I looked like I just got done swimming with my clothes on. I did use all my orange guards.

    Ohhhh, thank goodness no tarp. At that point I would have told him to get bent. He didn't have help. So for the first 4 hours, I was his helper. He just sat on the forklift. It was brutal. Then at the end of hour four, a helper appeared. I think I used 19, 4" straps and 4, 2".....and every orange protector I had.....which is alot. Plus some carpet. That place is going on my no haul list. The guy was super nice. It just isn't worth all that. After we got loaded he asked if I wanted to come back for the other 3 loads. Looked him right in the eye and said "that isn't happening ". He just laughed.
