Crash course on tarping.. Experienced tarpers please chime in

No, but it did take me two hours to do it!

Lets see if I can get these pics to work, if not, they'll have to wait till tomorrow night!

 

This is the only pic I can get to upload for some reason, so it will have to do for now!
What do y'all think? Good, bad, ugly? Keep in mind it's my first tarped load!

I started out running my bungees through the D-rings (instead of the grommets at the edge), but it seemed like it was letting the bottom edge of the tarp flop around too much so I switched over to the grommets. I did put a bungee in the higher D-ring at all four corners of each tarp -- seemed to help hold the edges down a bit better.

You mean hook into the first grommet, down through the rub rail, back up to the second grommet, then instead of going from the second, down through, back up to the third (like I did), you would go from the third, down through, and back to the fourth?
(Btw, those bungees came with the s-hook closed! Saved me having to spend an hour with a pair of pliers! lol)

Yeah it would have.. unfortunately, on the short notice I had, I wasn't able to purchase new ones.. and literally the only ones I could find were these 4' drops. And by the way, I almost forgot my bar. *Almost*!!

 

You must use longer bungees than I did! I cant remember what size you said you use, but these are only 21" and barely reached from one to the next--there's no way I could skip one and go to the next, unfortunately. I'm thinking about picking up some 31" bungees and trying that next time though. If there is a next time! For now, I'm back to hauling un-tarped freight!
