Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

Awesome! Do you happen to have a picture of this set up? Would like to see. Thanks!

 

6” drainage pipe cut to fit in the bottom of my headache cabinet. Holds 20’ 8’ and 4’ chains all organized. It’s also good for my long winch bar, pry bar, and fifth wheel puller.

 

I'll try to remember to get one next time I'm at the truck.

 

How many of you guys wash your tarps, or unroll them to let them dry out?

 

Sadly,.. only when its time to do a few repairs. Else they stay rolled up and strapped down.

Nope

 

If my tarps were wet when I rolled them up. I would always unroll them and let them dry out.

I never wanted to put wet tarps on someones freight that was supposed to be kept dry. Also if I didn't use the tarps again for several months they can get a little ripe.

 

Thats why i carry 4 rolls of felt. Any moisture on my tarps, the felt will keep it from the product.

Three only time i unroll them to clean is if i got to patch one, or if i had them get muddy.

 

So you would wash them off if you knew they were muddy?

I leave moving blankets on the deck. They are usually wet, too.

Seemed pointless to me to put wet muddy tarps and tarp padding on stuff they wanted to keep dry. Thought I'd ask.

Stuff explicitly labeled "must stay dry no contact with water" in the past but putting on wet frozen tarps on top never made no sense.

 

I put my tarps on the shelf in the shed last year, no intention of taking them back off the shelf either.
