Step 3: Attach the tarp

Now that you have inserted the cattle panels and tied them together with wire or cable ties, it's time to cover it with a heavy-duty tarp.

Try to use a tarp that is close in size - about 10' by 16'. Don't worry if it's too big, as you want it to overlap a bit.

In our example, we have a 10' by 20' tarp, so we'll be folding the long end up on one side.

We tie the tarp down with black UV-resistant cable ties. Pull the sides tight, and if possible, wrap the sides over the edge of the open part of the hut.

See the photos below for details.
