We tarp grader blade cutting edges. There's stickers on them that need to stay put. Easiest tarp job you've ever seen. Usually 3 rows requiring 6 straps, I use a "farmer tarp" that weighs about 5 lbs and gets tucked under the straps, only 2-3 bungees at most. $75 who can argue?

It's weird cause I see lots and lots of rebar coming out of Gerdau in Whitby, Ontario and they are never tarp really... Winter I see them tarped (not all of them tho) but in the non-winter month no one tarps them.. They are almost always very long hanging over both the front and rear of the trailer (probably about 2 feet in front and 3 feet in back of overhang)... They seem like a very easy load to secure because they are all bundled and heavy.. The straps are basically holding them from falling side to side of the trailer.. Plus they are a nice low load... The ones in our area are usually double staked on the trailers (4-5axle trailers)...
I used to haul rebar and like I said it was great to strap... I had mixed loads tho of rebar, i-beams, angle iron etc.. for home construction... So it was tricky loading those multi-drop loads... But the rebar was great.. -

I have saw a lot of them loads with the tarps only put on top of the load. They weren't wrapped around the front or the rear of the load. -
If they are oiled(aka greasy bars) be sure to build a headboard, and stretch tarp over the header, unless you like spending your weekend patching tarps.
