    You can get a 30' steel tarp,would be faster than 2 tarps.Being were you are at,$ 50. is probable a good rate.

    Got it. Have looked into these before. In my current situation, it would seem that tarps will be my only real option since weight may be a factor.

    I would go with $50 for now and see what happens. Tri county tarp, Bradner,Oh. keeps 14oz. and 10 oz. material in stock. I have used 10 oz. for years but I pad the freight well. I do haul some stuff like you are talking about and I do not pad it at all. It's soft skidded stuff and I just throw the tarps over it bungee them down and roll.

    harps tarps in Decatur ,ga can fix you up with two 16 x 24 trps with 4 foot drops of lightweight sides probeably be about 45 pounds each.

    50 bucks is a fair deal in this case, a four foot deal over pallets is a piece of cake to tarp.

    Talked w/Harp's, seem like decent folks. This should only be 'keep dry' local & short runs, may have to do an increase to the basic rate for occasional tarping since they may not want an extra charge part of the time. Thanks!
