How do you keep the sun off your seats? We lace long tarps with big half hitches. Effective but slow. Any good alternatives?

John,

How about sewing some 1-inch webbing to the tarp and using snap clips to fasten the tarp?

When I kept mine outside, I cut a tarp to wrap the seats with velcro stitched to either side. Just velcroed it on.
Also, I had a tarp that covered the tramps, and after the first big rainstorm that caused the tramps to sag alarmingly, I cut drain slits into the tarp.
