    Tarp line wraps

    I made some wraps from velcro to keep my tarp lines from tangling. Using the 1" wide sticky back strips I cut 3 inch lenghts then cut them in half lenghtwise. Strip off 1/4" of backing then cut a small piece from the oposite type of velcro (hook or loop), strip off the backing and attach to the 3" piece. .To Attach the wraps to the line just strip off a small piece of backing and fold it over the line where you want your line wrapped for storage.

    That sounds easy and a good idea. I hate tangled lines
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.

    Where's the fun in that ... what else are you going to mumble under your breath at as the sun's going down and the rain is starting to fall?

    Great idea! They're useful for all kinds of things. You can find them at Lowes also, in rolls of 30, for $4.67
