Tarping

Tarping is a way of protecting things from the rain. It involves putting a special kind of plastic sheet called a tarp over something to keep it dry. Tarps are often used to cover boats, cars, or furniture when you want to protect them from the rain and sun. They can also be used to create temporary shelters outdoors. To put a tarp over something, you usually use ropes or bungee cords to tie the corners of the tarp to things like trees, fences, or posts. This makes sure that the tarp stays secure and in place.
