Tarping question

Well....haha- yes they are all a pain. Steel tarps are about 80lbs and lumber tarps(larger) are about 100-120lbs. I have never seen one that was much "lighter" than any others. sorry-had to lol at your question.

 

You need to be in shape to be a "bedder"

 

Some of our lumber tarps are in the 150+ range. Our steels are probably 60ish.

 

There are tarps with lighter weight sides on them, it makes the 8 ft drops feel like normal 4 ft drops. No idea what the big companies issue to their drivers.

 

i think the lightest tarps are ones you dont have to pick up..ie:..contestoga,coverd wagon..etc..js

 

You can get any kind of tarp you want if you buy it.

 

Another option for lighter tarps is to purchase 4ft drop lumber tarps with D rings and snaps, have D rings every one foot on center.Then purchase 4 ft curtains that have 1ft centered tie downs, D rings.

Each section will still be below 50 pounds and much easier to handle and not get a hernia.

 

round is a shape

 

That seems like of extra work
