Semi-truck grain tarp

[Tar12]

I picked up another free grain tarp and put it to good use covering some pin oak and white ash. I took some round

galvanized top rail and made supports to elevate it and then rubber straps to keep it taught...we have had a lot of rain and wind and its holding up nicely...

Very sharp. I just got two more 5' x 20' runs of rubber roofing to replace tarps. This stuff (1/16") is not as thick as the others I have (3/16") so I will have to add a few landscape timbers to the top connecting the two stacks they cover as I am getting too much ponding in the center space between the stacks. Once that's fixed it should be perfect. All my stacks now have rubber roofing. I won't go back; 100% waterproof, uniform and clean looking. Never heard of grain tarps. Are they waterproof and how do you acquire them?

I get them from grain farmers locally. They will have a tear in them. I cut that section out or repair it and seal it. They are very thick and waterproof and will not condensate

I do like the fact that your using the peak system with the tarp to insure water run off and allows a place for air to go.

There is slightly over a foot of air space at the peak. It ventilates very well

I found one of these nicely folded on the side of the Interstate.......put a call out on the CB, nobody claimed it, so in the back of the truck it went.
