That's the catch, when you fold them taller they hump over in the middle making it harder to carry them around.
I put so much effort into making my chains look extra neat though so I'd really rather not rearrange them until they get used.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm secretly lazy.
I think I'm going to buy a bag of manure, get it extra wet and keep the bag sealed and roll it up in some tarp lookalike in a manner so that as soon as you throw it into a backseat the bag of manure breaks.
That or just have a pepper spray granade under the strap with the pin removed so that is sprays as soon as the strap becomes loose.

Not true.
My lumber were 13oz sides with 18oz tops, 5 rows of rings, both 30x25, and they only weighed 70 lbs each.the old ones that were 2o to 24Oz were 125 each.
That new Gortex type material in the newer tarps made them stronger and lighter. -
Key word in my statement was "usually"
-
I don't know for sure but the lumber tarps I had at Melton were definitely near 100lbs.
I was also a weak kid when I started too. Probably barely 150 pounds wet at 21 years old. Blown over by a strong gust type of kid...
I never had much of a problem lifting them and I was by no means athletic...MJ1657 Thanks this. -
How do they do in the rain?

Just caught this post. I'm pretty sure that if TMC can fit all their ######## in their headache racks you can to. You said it yourself, they're too fat, so roll them up where they aren't so fat. Regardless that someone stole your tarps, you've indicated here on more than one occasion that, to me the theft was of your own causing.

Lol, did the tarp in the picture look like a big floppy dildo? You're fired!
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
This is how my tarps get folded, they don't "hump" anywhere. To carry them I throw them up on my shoulder. It's just bad for your back to carry them in front of you. One slip out twist and you've just awarded yourself a lifetime of chiropractor appointments
-
How tf did you come to that conclusion? Its never the victim's fault. Sure, there's things he could have done to make theft a little harder but nothing is 100%
-
I explained reason why. Primes boxes aren't any smaller than tMc. He's even got a shelf to store them. His actions enabled the thief.
