If you get around a tarp shop they usually have patching kits you can buy and keep on your truck. If you get in a bind you can sometimes use duct tape in an emergency. It works if the rip isn't very large as a temporary patch. One thing about it, I have gotten more help from other flat bedders than anything else that I have pulled over the years. When I say flat bedders, I include heavy haul, steps and most any type of similar open trailers. You will find them to be very helpful. I was in Birmingham a few weeks ago tarping a load. It was really hot and I was somewhat dehydrated. Another flat bedder who was with another guy came over and helped me with one of my tarps. I didn't even ask him, but it was sure appreciated. You will find that with many flat bedders. I have done the same for other flat bedders. I have had some come over and help fold and roll up a tarp, etc.,
