    Yea I'm buying more when I get home. Don't know why it took me so long to do this. We occasionally have some pretty large stuff to tarp and with bungies it always turns into a balloon. We have 2 30'x30' w/ 10' flap tarps and 2 40'x40' tarps. I use this 30x30 quite a bit.
     
    Dye Guardian, Lepton1 and DDlighttruck Thank this.

    That tarp in my picture is a 40'X50' and another 20'X40' (If I'm remembering correctly, this one is the 2 piece, the pictures of the same load with the black tarp is a 1 piece that weighs just over 700#)

    By the way guys I like the 1" ratchet idea for tarping. If I start doing more specialized stuff (not lumber and steel) I'll definitely have to try utilizing them. Thanks for that.

    @Chewy352, another way to load slinkies. They are different sizes which makes loading E-W more difficult and potentially less safe.

    How some guys like to secure double stacked slinkies (not me).
