Several steps are necessary to secure a tarp so that it stays in place and protects the hay effectively. First, the hay should be stacked in a way that minimizes gaps and creates a solid base for the tarp. The tarp is then draped over the hay, ensuring it extends well beyond the edges to cover the entire stack.
To secure the tarp, use heavy-duty ropes, bungee cords, or straps, fastening them through the tarp's grommets or tying them around the hay stack. It's important to anchor the tarp to the ground or to stable objects nearby, like fence posts, to prevent it from being blown away by wind.
