3.3 Tarp Assembly, Installation & Adjustment
Please note that pipes, strips and fasteners are not supplied by KEITH Manufacturing Co. For the
top pocket, located at the top of the tarp when fully retracted and hanging, (1) 2” [50 mm] diameter
lightweight metal conduit pipe is recommended. For all other pockets, use 1-1/2” [40 mm] diameter
lightweight metal conduit pipes or 1/4” x 3” [6 mm x 76 mm] UHMW plastic strips.
1. Cut the pipes/strips approximately 2” [50 mm] shorter than the inside width of the trailer. Take this
measurement just above the trailer floor, at the trailer’s narrowest point.
2. If the tarp is wider than the width of the trailer, cut the tarp to the same width as the inside of the
trailer. Remove half of the material from each side of the tarp.
Note:
If you are installing the tarp into a trailer with a V-Floor
®
system or into a bullnose trailer, the tarp
will need to be wider than the inside of the trailer because the tarp will conform to the ridges on the
floor or the nose of the trailer. See Tarp Modifications for V-Floor Trailers for additional instructions.
If using Pipe in lower pockets:

D. Center the smaller diameter pipes in the lower pockets of the tarp. On the top side of the pipes
drill (4) holes through the tarp and pipes and install rivets (not included) to hold the pipes in
place.
