PITCHING

INSTRUCTIONS

7

4. Attach the short hook and loop tabs located on the

top side of the CarTarp to the top pole (Fig. 4).
Note:

Make sure the longer hook and loop straps (attached to 
the short pole) are spaced evenly across the short/top 
pole, making sure that a long velcro strap is on the 
outside of both short hook and loop straps.

Figure 4

5. Grab the top pole and carry the CarTarp to the side

of the vehicle you want to attach it to, either the side
or back of the vehicle.
Note:

The vehicle must either have factory installed rails or an 

after market roof rack.

6. Use the long hook and loop straps to secure the top

pole to the rack or rails. 
Notes:

• This is most easily performed by simply wrapping        

the straps around the bars.

• D-rings provide extra ways to attach the straps.

7. Insert gold pole tips into the grommets at the ends of

the center seam of the tarp (Fig. 7A), and raise the
CarTarp. Using the included guylines, tie two from the
tip of the staff poles and stake about 6 ft. out at a
45˚ angle (Fig. 7B). Stake tarp corners (7C).

Note: The poles can also be placed at the outside corners.

8. Pull cords tight and make adjustments if needed.
