Hello Everyone -

Running the risk of sounding like I've been hiding under a rock (or a pumpkin!), can someone tell me where I can get those canvas-type lifting tarps with the metal, reinforced handles?

Thanks!

I've used those cheap blue tarps for pumpkins up to 550 pounds or a little more. just make sure you have more than enough guys to handle the weight, as you'll need to have a good grip.

Tarps in stock ready to ship - www.bigseeds.com

Made by Amish. Been selling them for almost 25 years. Many still in use. They're the best!

Fairtime, if you can't get one in time, email me and I'll come over, if possible and help you. I have tarp or lifting straps/ring, if you have tractor or bobcat. Brad [email protected]
