Yolky Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi I needed a tarp to cover the back of my walk in run as that is where the rain seems to come in. Anyway for the size I needed the online places seemed expensive so looked on ebay and found these folk.... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Tarpaulins-To-Go I bought three for different things and was only charged one p&p. It came quickly by courier and they seem very good. So thought I would pass on the info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Brilliant - thanks Yolky. Just what I need for my Rablu as I couldn't find a shower curtain nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Brilliant, thanks for the link. I need to get some tarps to cover our run, but also for camping - this is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 If you have an Aldi nearby they are doing cheap tarps at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I saw those Claire and they are a good price but they are coloured so would block the light. I got one of the mono tarps and they let the light in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for that. I think I will order a clear one so that I can watch the girls from upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Shiraz Just looked on the site you suggested, but confused by the accessories, what do I need to order to hold the tarp in place? Is it the ball bungees? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 ShirazJust looked on the site you suggested, but confused by the accessories, what do I need to order to hold the tarp in place? Is it the ball bungees? Thanks Sally, I don't use tarp clips myself as I found the really strong winds last Winter whipped my shower curtain off the run easily. So I bought Bungee Cords (with a metal hook at each end) sometimes they are called Luggage Cords. I got mine in Pound Land and as they were only 1m long, just hooked 2 together to go over the eglu run. I have my shower curtain held down in 3 places and it never blows away. Found some pictures on Ebay so you can see what I mean, but you can get them loads of places cheap. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HEAVY-DUTY-5PC-BUNGEE-CORD-STRAP-SET-TARPAULIN-TARP_W0QQitemZ250288127993QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250288127993&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Like this....

Joanne Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 PLEASE be VERY CAREFUL when using bungee ropes. As a Paramedic I have been called to several accidents involving them, the worst case being a workman who, although a frequent user of bungees, managed to let one slip, it whipped round ad he lost an eye. Freak accident maybe, but it can and does happen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 That looks really good - they will stay nice and dry under both your set ups. I'm gonna buy two one for the bunnies as well. Thanks very much both of you for posting the piccies, it's really helpful to see other peoples set up. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
