Step Deck Tarps

well,i have 4'drops,6'drops&8'drops w/flaps.ive never considered a 10'.hell, if it needs 10's it might get a little soggy on the bottom.

 

I have 10's for the whole deck and a 8 footer for the top. I fully boxed mine with d rings so when I turn them I have 6 foot drops.

 

^ Smart man, hell with that set up you would only need 3 tarps correct? You could use those 6 footers for anything under 6 foot and turn them around for anything above, pretty smart.

 

Hernia traps?

What about the "skirts".

 

Yeah I only carry 3 tarps. Why carry more?

 

Our trailers all have 5 or more....2 16x27, 1 or 2 16x16, and 2 24 x 27....

If i ever buy my own truck and trailer it will have 3 tarps...2 6 foot drops by 25 feet long and one 16x16 steel tarp.

If it needs more than 6 foot drops im not really interested in climbing ontop of it, I hate lumber tarping things now because I'm fat and I dont climb very well and I dont like heights ontop of that. I do end up throwing 8 foot drops all of the time though and I do so without complaint because its not my truck and I do what the owner of the truck I drive tells me to.

 

fortycal has the right idea. I would also consider some lightweight 10's I saw in Iowa. They were 6' drops with 4' snap-on skirts

If I was ever to buy my own trailer, i would get a sliding tarp system and just be done with it all.
