What do you do to Protect your tarps from rips

I'm sure this is not the answer your looking for but....

I have a set of tarp that no joke, have holes in them big enough to jump through. They won't keep nothing dry.
If something needs to be tarped that will cut the tarps, I always put my swish cheese tarps on.

Now if I see rain in the forecast I just don't bother in booking a shipment that needs tarps.

 

I have extra tarps with holes but didn’t think this would work. In addition to being heavy and a pain I figured that if it’s sharp to cut a tarp it could still cut 2 tarps.

 

Have you thought about adding another box to your trailer to store your felt?

 

Yup. Can’t find anyone to install it. I need some kind of drop down welded brackets and everyone either doesn’t want to do it or they are booked solid. I’ve had this thing in my garage for months. You can see size of felt compared to a 60” box.

Truck already has 2 step boxes 22” wide each and both side boxes under the cab. Trailer also has 1 60” box already.

 

Swimming pool liner. Buy roll ends.
Used or new 3' wide runner rugs.
Used conveyer belt.
Swimming noodles, water pipe insulation.

Along with previous suggestions.

 

Yes. But I simply don't put good tarps on anything that might cut them. I only use the Swiss Cheese tarps only for machines

 

Saw a guy using old commercial rugs he bought cheap. If you go to a gas station there is a company that picks up the rugs by the doors, cleans them, and puts down new ones. Figure out who does this where you live and buy there old ones. Cheap and they roll up nice.

 

Cintas. They do more than just uniforms.

 

Right

 

If you ever get through Louisville, Kentucky just across the river is Apex Trailer off I-65 exit 6, on the Indiana side. Try them. I've had them do work previously, I was happy.
