Step by Step Guide on How to Fold Truck Tarps Easily
Before we start the guide first thing you have to do is remove all the moisture that may have accumulated on the tarp.
Step:1 Start with your tarp completely laid out on a flat surface to make this procedure more easy.
Step: 2 If you are having tarp with a flap, then firstly fold it to center of the tarp.
Step: 3 Now, fold one side of the tarp drop of the tarp inward to the middle.
Step: 4 Repeat the same process in the other side too.
[If tarps don’t seems to be exact in the middle, adjust accordingly so they can be exactly in the center of the tarp.
Step: 5 Fold the first side inward one more time towards the middle and repeat the same process for second side as well.
Step:6 Go to that side of tarp which does not have the flap and start rolling it towards the flap.
Step:7 Tie down rolled tarp with bungee straps to properly secure & store.
By following these seven easy steps you can fold flatbed tarp easily.
Once the truck tarp is wrapped, it might be difficult to differentiate a lumber tarp from steel tarp or small tarp from large tarp. So to make it easier, some driver prefers to buy different color tarps. Because there is nothing more frustrating than unfolding a tarp only to realize after it was the wrong one.
Here are the other flatbed truck tarps we carry:
✔ Coil Tarps - Coil tarps are specifically designed to keep coil loads tightly wrapped and protected against the weather. They are uniquely shaped to fit rolls of coil.
✔ Machinery Tarps - Machinery tarps are designed for covering all sorts of machinery. They are similar to steel tarps except for being slightly bigger.
✔ Smoke Tarps - Smoke tarps are smaller tarps intended to protect the front of a load from the smoke and soot of your exhaust stack. They are invaluable for certain kinds of sensitive loads.
✔ Parachute Tarps - Parachute tarps are made from the same kind of ripstop nylon used to construct parachutes. They are made in a variety of configurations suitable for most loads. Top sections are made of vinyl to keep out water while the sides are constructed of lightweight ripstop nylon.
✔ Bee Hauling Tarps - Bees make for sensitive cargo that has to be treated with care. Bee hauling tarps are made for that purpose. These are lightweight, mesh tarps that allow beehives to breathe but still protect them from flying debris and dirt.
✔ Roll Tarps- Roll tarps are what you need for your dump truck or trailer. They can be mounted on standard rolling mechanisms for easy deployment.

Cool video- maybe mark the fold lines on edges of tarp with some short pieces of White Gorilla tape or a super strong visible tape so you get center folds on first try (tape measure assisted). You could even install different size & color grommets to mark the folds- the added fold mark grommets could even be centered on a small piece of a different color tarp/strong material scrap for even greater visibility. I'm surprised the trucker tarp manufacturers don't already have an included fold mark system. Tarp clips or releasable zip ties are handy to hold the larger folds in place if you don't need the full size of the tarp all the time.
Omg thank you!! They just threw me out here after I told them I never done it before said we won’t get tarp loads until after we Train you! Nd I fell for it!
I UA-cam this, so I can learn a better way of folding tarps. Now I am confident that I know a lot more than most! Mytee tarps, try again!!
Love you guys
So you need to pour a 40ft x 40ft concrete pad first...
This was obviously not a Flatbedder because that dude has never done that shit before 🤣🤣🤣.
He forgot some folds and didn’t duck walk the air out.
You guys need to more professional pics of yalls products was going to buy one but went with us cargo tarps instead because they showed better quality pictures explaining their products
That's great if you have 12oz 6 foot drop tarps. That are as thin as parachutes. You can't roll a 18 oz 8 foot drop tarp that easy. To heavy and to thick.
The longest process especially for a new flatbed driver lol. Folding tarps absolutely suck especially 8ft drops
He made that look hard coming from a flatbedder
Please don’t fold tarps like this, if you have a load of lumber with a single lift down the center, and the guy who used the tarps last rolled them up like this you will be completely off center. Fold them to the middle each time, ensuring that everything is folded equally towards the center, that was you can always unroll your tarps down the very center of the load and it will always be in the perfect place to match evenly each side.
Im new to flatbed and this explains why when I got my load the people who tarped it had it all off center so bad. Must of been the way they folded it before on last load
I learned more from this comment than I have in 6 videos and asking questions, thank you driver
Exactly. 8' drop tarps, flip both sides in 8' to make the tarp 8' wide, then do the same thing again (⅓ in from each side) and make it about 2½ to 3' wide and roll it up. With 4' drop I do it like the video.
Painful to watch as soon as he started to pull the middle into the middle . Pay the flatbed driver that’s picking up their new tarps to do the demo, not the warehouse worker
Horrible tarp fold😂
