    Tarp stop in Gary Indiana or Perrysburg Ohio (south edge of Toledo)

    4 foot drops (16'), one at 24 foot, one at 27 foot, bout 175-220$ each, also a coil bag at about 250$ 2 years is about the lifespan

    I've had custom tarps made but they cost about 100-200$ more and even when you cleanly draw it for them it's no guarantee they make em exactly how you want.

    My tri county tarps are 17 years old and going strong. The issue I have is the d rings are rusting away. Here are 3 of them

    I, too, have been using MyTee tarps. When I'm better off financially, I'll probably swap them out. I'll try your Best Tarps recommendation. The tarps I have now tear very easily and the D rings rusted practically overnight. And they're heavy.

    Side note: I don't think I'll ever buy 8ft sides again. All the lumber loads I've done for the past couple of years have never been more than 4 ft high. Wrestling with all that extra tarp is irritating...to put it nicely.
