Tarp Straps
Enclosing a porch in plastic sheeting or tarps – they keep tearing off. How do I keep them up?
I have a house in an area (southern Ontario) that is subject to wind-storms. I want to enclose my side porch in plastic so that I can smoke there – I just had a baby and can’t smoke inside anymore. I put up 5 mm plastic with staples and strapping wood held up with finishing nails, but in the first wind-storm most of it came down. Would tarps work better? I can’t afford to do it in properly with lattice and plywood right now, although that is my ultimate goal. Also I am alone here with my baby, my husband is a long-hauler and I need to be able to do this myself. I can operate a nail gun, a skil-saw, a staplegun. Please advise!
When I lived in Minnesota we used to do that; we put some extra wood across the windows in an X, and sealed it also with tape. It should be fairly tight, or the wind will flap it and tear it, too.
