    Yes this is a netted tarp , True solid tarps not good Netted work like a charm and the feeling you get is peace of mind
    Yes I still strap down then use a netted tarp with bungee cords it just stays put & little things don't fly off . I don't say this with pride but for 6 or 7 years I just roped things down and yes some items have fell off & got past the big strapped down items . You just can't always count on the larger scrap stuff holding down some of the smaller items .I'm surprised only got 2 tickets and been told by police legally they want to see a tarp .



    Consider this - scrapping is on the outer fringe of society . you find things that could be counted as unlawful if the cops wanted to press the issue ( but they don't )

    picture the seen a loaded truck all roped up nice and a flimsy aluminum thing a am-gig flies off . Car driver behind panics swerves hits a car
    god forbid a death . Well there will be no scrap profit worth the out come .

    I got lucky many a time and luck for this work need only be regulated to finding scrap , not keeping it in truck
    No netted tarp + scrap items = a disaster (sooner or later) 1+1=2
