    Trying to stay versatile, ordered a set of mytee 10’ drops with the lightweight sides. 2nd load I padded and used caution, rear tarp didn’t make the trip before it shredded. I will say the sharp edges shredded my blankets as well. I’d like to order another set of 10’ers, heavier grade this time, I’d like multiple rows of D rings and a flap. Anyone have a custom tarp shop they would recommend? East coast preffered, if they ship though I’m open to anywhere. Thank you

    I have two 10’ drops that I had custom made by Granite City. Stainless Steel D rings. I wanted the mess the D rings get mounted to, to be green, but the flap that goes behind the D ring is green. I only used them a handful of times, if that before I quit. They are 30’ and 35’ I do believe. They can be yours if you want used

    Tri-City Canvas - Granite City. Steve.

    I like the 'rip stop' fabric.

    He'll run them up however you like, but know what you want before you call.

    No problem, I will add there are no rips or tears in it. 18oz top and 14oz drops.

    Another Tri City Canvas recommendation from me. Good pricea and service. They've made many custom tarps for me. They will ship to you if you can't make it through their shop.
     
    TX2Day, blairandgretchen and cke Thank this.

    Whatever you get, don’t get Mytee tarps and their brand straps. Also make sure to get quality moving blankets. Cheap blankets rip easily. Or get carpet to protect the tarp
     
    TX2Day and cke Thank this.

    Tri City sells some good lightweight felt off the roll - whatever length you want. They’ll put eyelets in the edge too, to help hold it in place.

    For padding I've used swim noodles, carpet, welcome mats. Used conveyor belt. Rubber mats. Just about anything that works. Duct tape in place. Also sometimes I would double layer a tarp. Outside tarp would slide on inner one. Neither would shred.
