  • who showed you how to fold a tarp???? A first grader that was the dumbest way to fold a tarp u idiot

  • WOW! This is just about the worst example of how to handle a tarp. First off, when pulling the tarp off a load, you should flip it up and down a couple times, and get some air between the tarp and the load. That makes the job of pulling it off much easier.

    And rolling a tarp always works better than folding it, at the end. No matter what the load is like, it's easier to roll it out, than unfold it. Most times, you can unroll a tarp from the side of the load, instead of being on top of the load.

  • I'm getting a bit frustrated w/vids from this out fit. Like ur tarping vid u cut of a part. In ur tarping you cut out a good bungy job on the front of the load. In this 1 u almost got it rt., then u cut the last part of the folding operation, & went right to a roll up. This leaves people hanging. How many more times did u fold it.If ur doing this for people that don't know u cut us short. If ur doing this 4 people that know ur wasting time cuz they know. Please redo. Thanks 4 what u did do.

  • rolling these things up during wind or in the freezing cold is alot of fun!!!!

  • Why rolling up the tarp is better is because some loads are strange and a rolled tarp works better. You will not always find a nice load like this. Trust me on this. 15 years as a flatbedder. 

  • Rolling is better, then you can kick it to the end.

  • after folding in thirds width wise pull non sewn end over to 90%to the sewn edge then roll from the folded edge and you can store easier and also unroll from the edge by walking the end down .....just to give another hint.

  • You want to fold and roll them in a way that they unfold without flipping the whole thing. To each his own but if you fold this way and try to unfold in the wind you end up with large panels unfolding and catching wind which can knock you off the deck or load. Forget all you see here.

  • WOW.............all these years flatbedding, and today, I find out that I've been rolling my tarps the wrong way. Thanks guys

  • How to lift is the next vid? haha Great How To Guys!
