    Call me crazy but I don't mind Tarping ONLY if what I'm Tarping makes sense, I'm 6'1" 280lbs I need the exercise and I don't do it unless the forklift lifts me and the tarp up on top

    I load alot of places where i get a load of trim board, its 8 feet off the deck and they say "okay heres your bills, see ya later" sometimes they lift my tarp but never lift me up, I just think its dangerous climbing on that crap with no fall protection. I'm 6 foot 260.

    Make sure to post up some pictures when you get it done. Are you going with the low roof or tall roof??
