I've looked at Lowes in Plano hwy75) but did not see awning material. On the way back to work, I wondered how a tarp would work as a chute. Has anyone tried using a tarp for a chute?

I just built my chute a week or so ago. I got the material from the same lowes in Plano off 75. It is outside on rolls. In the garden area head straight to the back, turn left as if you are going back into the building at the sliding door. It should be right there on the right. 3 colors. Black, green, and a bone color. It is around a dollar a foot.

I used a tarp for mine, I think it is 8x10, Attaced easily due to the eyelet holes and reinforced corners, Works fine so far.

I used the tarp because it was a lot less costly.
