There are also different thicknesses of tarps. The blue Wal-Mart-level tarps are mainly for ground cover when camping or for covering your boat in the garage.
Some places like Home Depot may have heavier tarps that would hold up better. They are still made of woven plastic strands, but are quite a bit stronger. Another key is to have a shock absorber and not tie the tarp tightly using non-elastic bindings. If you use something that will stretch, it will last a bit longer in the winds since it allows the tarp to give. As far as the roof, if I had my way, and the money, I would replace my asphalt shingles with a nice tin roof. I love the sound it makes when it rains. M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Justin D.

Perhaps, but it will last for a while in the mean time. After the hurricanes here in Florida you see nothing but blue tarps everything for weeks while people are waiting for insurance or whatever. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177105 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
