Need a tarp cover for a dump trailer

[LoneCowboy]

Hauling manure now, gotta cover and uncover a couple times a day, a regular tarp isn't going to cut it.
Suggestions??????
links?

There are plenty of companies offering tarps made to the size that you need.

If you want to go beyond simple for ease of operation, check out those retractable tarps that the dump trucks use. I believe you can get those in motorized or non motorized versions.

What size trailer do you have? Do you have to cover it, or are you just being nice?

14' x 6.5'
it blows the manure everywhere. (if dry, if wet of course it sits there)
It should be covered. i wouldn't want to be behind me.
It's the right thing to do.

Harps tarps is the Best they custom made a tarp for my 16' dump with D rings at precisely where I wanted them to mate up with a stretched 1' rubber tie down.
Heavy duty and it was like $100.00
If you are doing a LOT fo tapring I would go with

It's a retractable system ( manual of powered ) around $300.00 and up again they custom make them.

I bought a grommet kit and heavy duty staple gun and cut standard size heavy duty tarps to fit my dump trailer. Put the grommets so I have 4 bungy cords pulling down each side.

Yeah, that's for sure!

You also don't want one of the badge brigade behind you either... ticket for littering AND having to pick up the spilled poo...
