    Who decided to use the color white in their tarp sets? Western Express has dirty tarps.

    Marine plywood uses a more water resistant glue. It still requires surface protection to prevent the wood layers soaking up moisture. Even pressure treated lumber needs protection.

    Ya we got a few white tarps and if you see someone using them it means they couldn’t find anything else.

    See that's what I mean. Me , you and anybody with half a clue could have that thing wrapped up like a Christmas present in 40 minutes... or spend the same amount of time doing that crap . Don't understand it... some guys just need to go swing some doors and get out of open deck if they're that f ing lazy

    They actually may not be white. Maybe more of a tan. They’re so dirty it’s impossible to be sure.

    Thanks for that mate, nobody mentioned that when I bought it, but too late now, it is gone completely and the beams that supported it, 3x3 fence posts are still sound as a pound and I walk a decent plank (d'you get that, another seabourne reference?;-) ) laid on top to get to the interior. If I want anything near the entrance I just walk along the ground in between the beams and reach in at waist height. ;-) :D
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Well at least the bloke had forward thinking, have you not noticed the built in air brakes at the front of the dirty off white sheet? Only trouble is flying down a hill dragging a great balloon, he won't see a thing in his mirrors. :eek:
     
    Walk Among Us Thanks this.
