The 'Really Old' Shop

Tarpstop began in 2001 (the good-old days) with just 3,000 square feet at the Fort Meigs Business Center on Fort Meigs Road in Perrysburg, OH. As this old photo shows, towards the end of our time at that location it got to the point where we had to move our inventory outside every day to make working room inside. This could get pretty hairy when it would thunderstorm would roll through. Oh well... At least we knew where to get some really good tarps.

We vacated this building in 2004 when we moved to the Roachton Road building. However, as our inventory of tarpaulin systems, ratchet straps, trailer winches, cab protectors, storage boxes, load securement equipment and other flat bed accessories continued to grow at the new Roachton Road shop, we quickly had to expand (again), and ended-up leasing an additional 4500 sf back at this location.

The photo shows Ken (in shorts as always) and Ben McDaniel who is still with us in the tarp fabrication department.
