    Found an online source of used vinyl billboard tarps . They have tons of sizes . The thickness varies from 13 to 17 mil depending on what you select .

    These look nice. What material type do you think would work the best? Im thinking about getting the 10' x 30' vinyl black 13mil. I will cut it 10'x15' so i can get two stacks covered.

    Wow, that's awesome!! I might order the 10' x 40, and cut them into 5' x 10' sections!

    I went with the10x24 black 13 mil vinyl . I generally stack 4w 5 - 5.5 h20 l . They have the rope pockets on all 4 sides . I generally use sheets of metal roofing ,but have run short ,and decided to give these a go .

    If you look for the name of the bill board company, normally on the bottom of the billboard, & contact them, they will sell you the used vinyl which is frequently called "flex". I can go to Lamars in KC, MO & get a 16' x 46' flex for around $20.

    Those can work out really nice for those who can find them.

    And if I'm not mistaken they are very heavy. Shipping charges will add up quick.

    Yes they can . Mine was something like 34 bucks ( 4 10x24 13 mil tarps ) . But my other option was to drive to the nearest location that would have them . That's down in the Pittsburgh area . With gas cost and state tax , not to mention traffic , I don't think that it would have saved me all that much . YMMV .

    That's good to know, I read some reviews but,coming from you means a lot more, they look like they would work good, better than the other goofy clip deals I have
