If you can't find old fish net -- use the plastic snow fence
stuff Home Despot sells. I just got 3 years out of a silver
tarp -- probably could have got a few more if I padded the
mast and uprights better.

1) since you can't buy a real tarp anymore unless you are quite rich,
you won't have plastic shreads from useless plastic tarps all over
your property if it has to stay wrapped for more than one season;

the cheapest, thinnest blue poly tarp lasts well through until spring and
beyond is you put (cheap) rope back and forth over the top of the tarp.



Or even better...if you can get an old commercial type fishing net. If you
fasten that on properly, the tarp has nowhere to go.
I found a 'made in China' canvas tarp on sale at an auto/tool type store.
