    Trust me. How i described you should do it? Just throw it on and make sure it stays?

    That's how my first coil looked. Hell, my first 2 or 3 coils. lol

    It took me a while before I got my coil tarps to look pretty :)

    Put your TARP over the coil, bungie the 4 corners of the coil bungie the front and back tight to the coil then bungie the center of the coil. Once you've dome that bungie the excess tight to the trailer. Now use a couple of straps, one near the ends of the tarps and one near the coil. Hope that helps a little.
     
    daveman520 and Noggin Thank this.

    Ya bungee your corners for sure. Then start in the middle of your coil and work towards the front and back of your trailer. Run few bungees from side to side as in around the front and back of coil maybe hooking them together if you have to

    Quick question? I see a lot of melton building bulkheads in front of coils. Do they require it or is that what they teach
