50 Natural Rubber Tarp Straps For Cold Weather

Hauling packages, pallets, lumber, steel, or other cargo on a flatbed truck? If so, you need to protect your load with a tarp - and you are going to need tarp straps to hold that tarp down so it stays securely in place while you are driving. Weather is unavoidable when you are hauling cargo. Loads out on the open road are left susceptible to rain, snow, scalding heat, icy cold, and more. Using a tarp shelters and defends your flatbed load from these forces of nature. And tarp strap tie downs are essential to keeping your tarp securely in place.

If you plan to drive through cooler climate zones, know that ice, wind, sleet, frost and sub-zero temperatures will not harm these 21 inch long natural rubber tarp straps. The reason that natural rubber straps like these are perfect for cold weather is because the level of elasticity in natural rubber permits shrinkage without breakage. Protect your goods while cruising through damaging weather by utilizing a tightly woven tarp sold online by DC Cargo Mall. See our vinyl flatbed tarps, lumber tarps and steel tarps here.

To keep the tarp secured over your load on an open flatbed truck, utilize the D-ring anchor points which run around the perimeter of most tarps as well as in rows across the tarp. Secure these natural rubber tarp straps to the metal rings using the burly S hooks on each end of the tarp strap. These s-hooks are zinc plated so they are corrosion resistant and will not rust or be damaged by water or severe weather.

If your are driving through hot desert or humid climates with high temperatures, the smoldering heat becomes a concern. During summer months or hot temperatures, our chemically built EPDM synthetic rubber tarp straps will suit you better. We carry this same 21" hold down strap in an EPDM version. EPDM bungees are made from polymers which prevent stretching and cracking in hot temperatures. Ozones, harmful acids, and bases are just some of the substances the EPDM straps can endure without any harm done.

Buying Rubber Tarp Hold Down Straps

These 21 inch straps are a great middle-of-the road option for all shapes and sizes of tarps and loads. If this is your first time buying tarp bungee hold downs, 21 inches is a good multi-purpose length to invest in. DC Cargo Mall also offers short 9" natural rubber bungees, 15" rubber tie-downs, 31" rubber tarp straps, and very long 41" natural rubber tarp straps.

When deciding which strap size to buy, take into account the weight, size, and type of cargo you are hauling - as well as the number and placement of the D-ring hookups on your tarp. Do you need shorter hold down straps for a smaller or more tightly wrapped load? Or do you have a large, tall, or awkward shaped load needing a burlier and bigger strap? Easy installation awaits: simply attach the s-hooks on the ends of the tarp straps to the the circle rings or D-ring anchor points found along the entirety of the tarp. Both ends of the rubber bungees feature steel reliable S-hooks for safe attachment.
