    A cheap sturdy lite is about 550 bucks. Another 100 or so for brackets and bolts. plus labor if you are too lazy to spend 30 minutes doing it.

    No I'm not to lazy. I would rather have it welded instead of bolted

    Idk that you could fit 2 in a 24x24x60- you'd have to fold them so that they're shorter when laying on the ground.
    I fold 8' drops in thirds, then quarters then roll, which still has me about 34" after the protuberance on the ends.
    ive had 24x24x60 and couldn't get them small enough to fit 2 8' drop tarps in anyway.
     
    Logan76 and DDlighttruck Thank this.

    If you fold them just perfect you can get 2 8 fters and 2 4 fters in 1 box. My tarps are 2 of 25x26 with the flaps and 2 of 16.5x24.5 and can get all four in one box if i fold them just right. But normally I'm in way to big a hurry for that nonsense and they get tossed in the deck.

    Why? Most guys working at these truck repair shops can't weld worth a crap, six months later that box is gonna hit the ground when the wild breaks. Weld it yourself and if you can't weld then drill and bolt it.

    Well I guess I did all that work for nothing. Stupid load of plastic pipe was only 40ft long.
