Thanks GBar.
The cheapo tarps at Menards and such seem to snag and open on any wood sliver or bump so I know those are a waste of money. Do you have any advice on what kind of tarp to get that will only be used a few times by a DIYer? It probably doesn't need to hold up as well as something that pros would use every day. Is there any tape that can be used to fix a stray hole or in tarps?
I've got quite a bit of leftover very heavy poly from my concrete slab work. It's wide enough and plenty long for the opening I'll have. From working with it I know it's tougher than those cheapo tarps and can be patched with the right tape. It might be too slick to walk on but it's a 4/12 roof and I could probably avoid walking on it. I could wrap the edges around a 2x4 to nail down. Do you think that would work or bad idea?
