Roll Tarps for Grain Carts

Attaching the Rivets

After the tarp is in place, drill 1/4” holes through
the tarp and the outside wall of the Roll Tube at
each seam and in the front and rear hems. Keep
the holes 1” to 1 1/2” from the end of the tarp to
allow space for the Square Plastic Grommet. Drive
the 1/4” rivets into the roll tube until it is flush with
the cap.

Roll the tarp into the covered position. Slide the
Bungee Cord through the 1/2” Plastic Tube. Fold
and clamp the end of Bungee Cord so the cord
cannot slip through the plastic tube. Slide the
Plastic Tube (clamped end first) into the 1 1/4”
Roll Tube end that is 1/2” from the end of the tarp.
Slip the Square Plastic Grommet with the chamfer
end facing out onto the Bungee Cord and drive the
plastic grommet into the 1 1/4” Roll Tube. Secure
the Square Plastic Grommet to the 1 1/4” Square
Roll Tube by drilling a 1/4” self-tapping screw
through the Roll Tube and into the Square Plastic
Grommet. Attach the 5/16” Eyebolt into the wind
lip on the tightening lip side. NOTE: If a hole is
not pre-punched into the wind lip, drill a 5/16” hole
in the vertical wind lip of the Front End Cap
approximately 1” from the end.
