What can I use to keep my tarp down?
Ball bungee cords or bungee tie downs are the best options. Bungee ties are elastic, which allows them to move freely with the wind and greatly reduces the chances of your tarp tearing. When you use bungees, the cords will move with the wind, evenly distributing the stress along the tarp.
How do you keep a tarp down in the wind?
Use additional bungee straps at key points to secure the tarp to either your trailer or the load itself. Another ratchet strap across the middle of the tarp will keep that section flat. Finally, wrap the entire perimeter of the load using bungee rope from corner to corner.
