6 Things You Shouldn't Assume About Custom-Fitted Truck Tarps

Custom tarps are helpful pieces of equipment when you're using your truck to move cargo. Unfortunately, some truck owners make assumptions that aren't really accurate when it comes to custom-fitted tarps.

The following are six things you shouldn't assume about custom-fitted truck tarps. 

Tarps aren't effective at protecting your cargo.

If you're transporting cargo that you need to keep dry in your truck bed, using a custom-fitted tarp can be one of the best ways to protect your cargo from moisture. You can have a custom-fitted tarp designed that is the ideal size for providing as much protection for your cargo as possible while you're on the way to your destination. 

It's expensive to purchase a tarp that is custom-fitted.

Custom-fitted tarps don't have to cost a lot. If you're on the market for a custom-fitted tarp for your truck, shop around and you'll find some good deals on this important piece of equipment. 

All truck tarps are pretty much the same.

Tarps come in many different varieties. Custom-fitted tarps come in various dimensions. There are also some material options to consider when it comes to custom-fitted tarps. You can choose between various grades of poly tarp according to how thick and durable you want your tarp to be. Custom-fitted canvas tarps are also available. 

You'll need to keep replacing custom truck tarps because they'll become torn.

You might think that tarps are inevitably going to become torn with heavy-duty use so you'll need to constantly replace them. However, you can purchase a higher-grade tarp that will be thicker and more resistant to tearing if you don't want to have to keep buying new custom-fitted tarps. 

It takes a while for a custom tarp order to be fulfilled.

You won't necessarily have to wait a while to get custom-fitted tarps made. In fact, custom-fitted tarps that come in a lot of different sizes and designs are readily available so that your order can be fulfilled right away. 

You don't need to get a custom-fitted tarp.

A standard tarp might not fit your truck properly so it won't protect your cargo as effectively as it should. Custom-fitted tarps generally protect cargo more effectively. It's also usually quicker to secure a custom-fitted tarp to your truck since custom-fitted tarps are the ideal size for both your cargo and truck.

Gardening Basics: Choosing the Best Fertilizer

If you walk into a home and garden shop asking for a bag of fertilizer, be prepared to answer a couple of questions. That's because not all types of fertilizers are equal. I learned that lesson the very first year I planted my backyard garden. My goal was to grow vegetables, so I didn't need fertilizers that were intended to help flowers grow. I did need a product that would add certain nutrients to the soil that were not currently present. Fortunately, the owner of the local feed shop asked me a few questions and was able to direct me to a product that was right for my needs. Before you begin plowing up land for planting, let me tell you more about choosing the right fertilizer. Follow the advice and get ready to harvest enough vegetables to feed your family and still give some away to friends.
