Tarp Straps
Tarp straps are made of rubber and have steel ‘S’ hooks attached to both ends. These straps are most commonly used to tie down tarps to the bed of a flatbed or dump truck. Tarp Straps are also known as Rubber Straps, Bungee Straps or just bungees.
Some of the things you should at while buying tarp straps are the material of the rubber and the quality of the steel hooks. The straps made with natural rubber or synthetic EPDM rubber. EPDM straps can far outlast natural rubber bungees as they are UV resistant and don’t lose stretching ability with exposure to the elements. Make sure that the steel hooks on the straps are coated or galvanized else they will start rusting during regular use.
Make sure to crimp one end of the ‘S’ hooks on your tarp straps with a pair of pliers. This prevents the sharp edges of the hooks from poking a hole on your tarp. Some manufactures pre-crimp one end of the S hooks which saves you the trouble. You should always wear protective eye glasses when using Bungee Straps. There have been numerous reported injuries from the sharp steel hooks of the bungees.
