    Where can I find the right kind of rope for my end-dump tarp (side-to-side type with crank)? The original broke,and all I see at hardware stores etc are the softer sort of bungee style ropes-which aren't heavy-duty enough,they break right away.The original elastic rope was tougher-it's an Aluma-tech frameless dump body

    I like the 5/8 inch climbing rope . Use it on belt trailer tarps. You can get it at most outdoor, sporting goods stores.

    Honestly any truck or trailer center should have it.
