How to choose the right lightweight tarp kit
Measure the load height to choose the drop, the load width plus two drops for the tarp width, and the load length for the number of tarps. Then choose the fabric weight: 18 oz for durability, 14–15 oz or parachute fabric to save weight.
Specifications explained
- Drop: 4 Feet — the side panel of a tarp that hangs from the top of the load toward the deck; it should match or exceed the load height.
- D-ring rows: 2 — rows of tie-down points along the tarp sides. More rows let you strap the tarp tighter so it doesn’t flap at highway speed.
Before you buy
- Measure load length, width and height before choosing a size.
- Confirm the drop reaches the deck so the tarp can be strapped at the D-rings.
- Count the straps or bungees you need — one per D-ring is a good rule.
Safety and care
- Use edge protectors on sharp corners before tarping.
- Strap at every D-ring row and re-check at your first stop.
- Patch small cuts early with a repair kit.
To complete your setup, many buyers also look at corner & edge protectors, bungee straps and winch straps — see the suggestions below.
