[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 281407, member: 8516"] If you have one near you, contact a tractor-trailer (semi-truck) cover repair operation. The rubberized canvas is proven durable and, although heavy, is about bullet proof. I have some pieces that came from a wreck. A bunch of us were asked to clear the highway debris when a trailer-load of wood on the flatbed flipped. We loaded the wood on the salvage trailer and swept the highway. The tarp was torn and unwanted. I happily gathered it up and have used the large pieces for a variety of things, two of which are boat covers. Right now they are snugged down with bungees on the "D" rings that were sewn into the tarp. When I get serious about this business of Winter, I'll put grommets at appropriate places and cinch it down. Don't know the price, but likely an over-the-road truck place would have some smaller pieces that might suit. I'll take pictures and post them soon. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
