light weight tarps

18 oz all the way.

 

Why is that?

 

Much stronger. Yep there heavy but they last

 

Tri city canvas tarps in nylon 13oz top 10 oz sides will still last a long time. 18oz tarps still tear surprisingly easy if you aren’t careful padding the load. Not to mention they weigh 40% less your chance of injury is far lower.

Once I was in a ladder tarping a load that came to a point in the center of the trailer. The tarp I was unrolling on the top slid down the side and hit my ladder. If I wasn’t a fat guy I would have fell back and I’m sure an injury would of happened.

 

Alrighty then. Well for better or worse I have gone with the used billboard 14 X 23 ft. I do not want the high loads so I figure I can handle a 15 L X 6 W with a 4 ft drop all around. Anything bigger than that I will let you stronger guys and gals handle. About 37 lb, which I love and the 3 inch on all 4 side to run a rope through to tighten. Price with shipping $50.00. I can always move up to something stronger at a later date if I need to. Thanks and be careful out there.
It is sad but the majority of drivers in cars do not realize that that big load going down the road has a father, mother, husband, wife, sister, brother....... behind its wheel,who wants to get home to loved ones too.
