would this work? tarping question

you say the loads are 24 - 26 long. 4 - 5 feet high.

you want a 27, or 28 would be better long tarp. flaps on both sides if you can. or make it a 30 foot length then you've got enough in the make to meet in teh middle of the load. kind of like a door on both sides. make the drop 6 feet though. that way you can cover the trailer. wind is sneaking in underneath ballooning your tarps. and the load isn't getting wet. you go with 5 foot drop you have a crack between trailer and tarp. and wind WILL sneak in under the tarp.

2 rows of d rings. run regular rope through the rings and call it good.

bungee rope is more expensive. rubber might not last as long.

but not every trailer has hooks though for using rope. last company i worked for didn't have hooks. had to run rope through the rail.

26 feet won't take you long to rope at all though.

 

You say you're just protecting the plastic wrap?

How 'bout a set of mesh/landscape tarps, really lightweight and the wind pretty much cuts through them. They can of course be ordered to the size you need.

If your shipper will accept them and you haul enough of their stuff it might be worth the envestment.

 

Good idea.

I carry a set of mesh tarps. They are fast to put on, roll up and are fast to fasten on the load.
