    That is something I did do, a lot, the reason I started marking them.
    I have been told I'm lazy, and this proves it. lol

    I never thought of that. I did have a strap I never even put in the strap box, just kept it under the sleeper to strap my tarps down with. I had it cut down to just fit, so I wouldn't be tempted to half strap it, and wind up loseing my tarps. lol

    Don't own a tape measure? If the tallest section is 4 ft or less and its legal width a 4 ft will cover it every single time

    I’ve fully tarped a lot of #### taller then 4’ with a steel tarp and a lot of #### taller then 8’ with a lumber tarp. Think about it. You will figure it out.

    So have i, that wasn't what was said. I simply saying you dont need to mark your straps to know if your tarp will fit.
