    Well yeah lol

    In all seriousness tho, I would never keep my tarps on my deck. They will get moldy and mildew will destroy them. They get wet and frozen in winter and people steal them too often down here.

    ILOCA is in Naperville and has descent prices for the Chicago area. You have TarpStop located in Gary/Lake Station Indiana as well.

    My tarps get used weekly. A rolling tarp gathers no moss.... or something like that.

    From what I saw in the picture. I would have blocked between the rails and wrapped the chain around then pulled straight to the outside rail. Not on an angle.

    Cab guards help but they won't stop a load so the securement needs to be done correctly.
