I found one of the woven plastic tarp stuff that they put over the trailers of grain haulers one time. Huge, to cover the trailer on a tractor trailer. It was ripped so I guess they would rather leave it for someone else to pick up their trash for them.
I thought I had the cats meow there. Cut in pieces, layered some of it in a gunny sack (origin of a burlap bag being called a gunny sack or tow sack?), about 6-8″ thick, hung and then, darn. If an arrow stuck in it it just fell and hung in the way, most bounced off. You know how an arrow is just hanging out of a target, it’s your next subconscious target and it’s way easy to hit.:evil:
So that didn’t work for s***. Cleaned up the barrow ditch though and mostly filled the trash dumpster.
I use plastic, shrink rap (best I think) anything like that I can scrounge. Visqueen not good.
I get burlap bags sometime at the local mart (Amigos, imagine roasting chilies :-)) when they’re roasting chiles. They’re more than glad for me to get rid of they’re trash for them.
Sometimes I gotta go buy them at the local farm/ranch store but I get them for about a buck apiece.
Mine are outside always (you shoulda seen the dust fly out of them last year after some of those dust storms). I take’em down when the plastic starts pooching out, stomp on them to reshape, and put them another bag and sew it up. I use some wax string for that that followed me from work after I retired:)
I need to redo a couple of them now as a matter of fact.
