Side Kits
The vehicle on the left is a Custom side kit on 20’ straight truck 5’4” bulkhead to 6’ stakes.
For most trailers, we have all the measurements needed to make the tarp fit properly. We can supply a measurement sheet for the trailers we are not sure of, we want your tarp to fit properly. A tarp that fits well makes a side kit look “complete.”
This tarp goes from a 4′ bulkhead to 5’6″ stakes.
Specialty side kits, like the drop deck trailer pictured above, are also available.
All Side Kits Include:
- Enough stakes for a 3 piece tail
- .850 diameter solid aluminum bows
