Tennessee Diesel Chick, my tarps are three piece. They have 18 oz. vinyl on the top, and a lighter weight black nylon "cloth" material on the sides. I have not weighed them individually, but the 3 piece is sorta nice in that regard, instead of two big heavy suckers you have two fairly heavy 'ends" and then the lighter weight middle piece. Depending on the load, you often don't need all three... I also have a 10'x12' "smoke tarp" that fills in sometimes.

Good luck with the flatbedding, you go girl..... 8)

I wouldn't trust anything he said from someone who flies around the sky in only half a parachute and in the sitting position.

Ya, I'm loafing myself here at the Iowa80. I have 400 miles left to go in 2 days. Watching the Indy 500 right now.
