Re: Tarps!


Threads per inch? Tightness of weave? Material?

Re: Tarps!


What do you guys do? Meaning, do you hire a Tarp or just go ahead and purchase one for future use?

Re: Tarps!


PVC tarps are really nice. They are expensive but they will outlast any of those el cheapos any day.

Re: Tarps!


I would say a minimum would be in the 11'x14' range. That way you can cover a variety of items such as the bed of your truck to keep weather off you cargo/tools or a stack of lumber clean ect ect. Or maybe you want a larger one to cover roofs for additions. They are really tough and take some abuse. They have eyelets that are reinforced and won't tear as easily. You can searh the net(google works) for better prices that the local store.
