I was hoping to get like 100’ or in 50’ sections of heavy duty plastic so I don’t have to use 6 tarps for one long wood pile. Any ideas? I’m hoping to keep my pile dry this spring since I’m in the PNW. Thanks!
Rolls of 5’ wide heavy duty clear plastic, any out there?

Find a place with greenhouses. We replace ours every 5-6 years. It's pretty heavy duty and they make repair tape if you need to patch a hole. Should be very cheap or free.
I know you can get 10ftx 100ft rolls of 6mil plastic at most hardware stores. A good sharp knife can split it pretty fast.
whatever you fimd go with black. the clear will get condensation on it and your top layer of wood will never dry out.
how big is your GH Ryan?

They sell used billboard signs as tarps. They are between 10-20 mills thick and most are either plain white or plain black on one side. 50’ long isn’t uncommon.

We've got a few hoop houses. 14x32, 14x96, 30x96, and a 14x44 under construction.

Also check with any billboard companies. My buddy had had a couple used billboards give to him, pretty for free.

I bought some at Lowe's a few months ago for some foundation work I was working on. They had light, medium, and heavy. The light was clear, the heavy was black. It was on the last isle between the concrete and roofing materials.
