Feeling the Heat

In the last few years I've bought LaCrete pellets which don't come as well protected to the outside elements as a couple other brands I had bought years ago which besides having a wrap around them also had a large plastic bag (greenish clear) over them for protection and then a final outer bag. I had saved those older bags which I had used to cover the LaCrete's for the few months they are stored outside, but they are aging and the plastic is getting brittle from exposure to the sun. Has anyone ever come across a large bag that would be suitable to fit over a pallet of pellets? The LaCrete's I've been getting have had just a single layer covering which appears to have been 'heat shrinked' to the load and more often than not its integrity has been compromised with a rip or hole in the covering from transportation or somewhere. Wet pellets suck...........
 
They make plastic pallet covers/bags, the problem with those is that you usually have to buy a roll of like 50. Uline sells them and so does Amazon.
As an alternative, there are formed pallet tarps like this one on Amazon for $33 and it's formed to the shape of a full pallet. Here's a link:
4 Ft. x 5 Ft. x 4 Ft. Heavy Duty Silver Poly Pallet Cover - - Amazon.com

Or they make them in blue for $20.

Yeah, the blue one isn't heavy duty like the one that @Ocelot linked to. But I just had to post the picture of the description, "this is not a mystery box" ;lol
