Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

You can not be serious.

 

Here's a trick a lot of you probably know but some may not. I prefer to hook 4-5 bungee together to prevent billowing. I see some guys use straps, but bungees have more elasticity so they do not get loose and rub as bad as straps.

 

You could use pliers and squeeze the open end in some to keep the hook out of the tarp... I have heard about that bungee rope, never yet seen it. Pic?

 

I use of them like that to attach my flags to an oversized concrete box. Nothing to hook to on th box.

 

next time I roll by you Ill show you thats what we use instead to bungees. I would take a pic but no where near the truck for atleat another day

they don't puncture the tarp. I can understand the concern, but I've been doing it this way for years with no problems.

I should give that bungee rope a try I guess. Do you have to tie and untie knots to use it ?

 

nope get the hooks and they are completly adjustable

 

Do you have to slip the hooks over the end? Or they kinda slip on the side? I've never seen that setup for sure. I see some of the boys from down south use regular rope to keep nursery tarps down...
