You will need all sorts of padding to save your tarps. I have carpet squares, and some nice little cardboard "corners" that will save the corners. Steel is brutal on tarps, but many other loads will damage them as well. You have to always be looking for sharp corners and metal banding poking out, etc.. all will cut your tarps. Fortunately, they are not hard to patch. Mine have more patches than original material almost... :?
Enjoying a day off here in Seattle, after being in sunny warm Las Vegas loading, I am now in dreary, rainy cool Seattle to unload tomorrow.
It's all good......... 8)

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly;
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory or defeat."
