My tarp jobs are ugly as sin

So ya, like the thread title says...

They're not pretty. I mean REALLY they're ugly as sin.
They do the job, which, to my understanding is to cover the freight from both rain and road muck. They also don't flap and they keep the tarps safe from ripping.

But they are FUGLY.
in my own defense, I have yet to get a tarped load that wasn't odd-shaped and where a lot of folds weren't necessary. But I see other guys do those loads and they're wrapped like Santa's Elves did them: Perfect, neat and beautiful.

In case you're wondering, my Xmas wrapping looks fugly too. At least I'm consistent

Basically, this is not my area of strength. I do it, the load is safe, the tarps are undamaged. I guess that's the important stuff. But Dang I would love to be able to tarp a load like some of you guys do, just as a matter of pride. Any tips? I have 6' drops and 8' drops.

 

I'm so new I squeak when I drive.

 

THAT, I do. I use more bungees than a hooker has condoms. But I STILL look fugly. Right now I'm being a gate guard till my elbow heals up and looking at the loads go by every day on some of the most Fugly, mis-shapen loads ever and they look amazing. I think back to my tarp jobs and ya, they work, but no one with an IQ over their shoe-size would call them pretty. Hoping that some of the other guys advice will turn true and it's a matter of experience. But mostly, I posted this so all the OTHER guys who do adequate, but FUGLY tarp jobs would pipe in. Some of us just have no talent at tarping pretty. Still hoping though that experience will make mine a bit less fugly. Cause DANG so many loads I've seen make me slobber with envy for the skill.
