Rope at the top is fastened to 2 foot wood boards, sewn into a sleeve every 5 feet on center, to keep the tarp fastened more securely and to prevent ripping. The rain flap just above the rope and board will help to deflect any moisture from running down the side of your bales.
Rope that fastens the tarp at the top is connected to a black strap with cambuckle 3/4 of the way down the stack so it is easily accessible to tighten and re-tighten if you need to.
J Hook at bottom end of the strap hooks around the twine of the bottom bale to secure the tarp.
Cambuckle that will hold the strap and the tarp in place once pulled tight. One simple tug on the strap, and your tarp is secured. We recommend walking around your stack 2 weeks after initially tarped, give the strap a quick pull, and this will help prevent tarp damage from wind.
Tarp has been secured on the stack. You can see how the rope looped around the 2 foot boards will hold the tarp tighter and prevent ripping, as you may see with grommets. Also the rain flap at the top will help deflect moisture from running down the side of your bales. The black straps at the bottom are at a convenient height to quickly walk around and pull to re-tighten your tarp.
