[QUOTE="rwtherefords, post: 86891, member: 778"] I don't think you got the picture right. Remember, my instructions said to put 2 peices of twine down, then set 1 bale, put 2 peices of twine down, then set another bale,......................... The bales are set end to end for as long as you want (like a long sausage). Obviously, 100' of plastic only covers 100' so you can overlap another 100' roll and continue on as long as you wish. The twine (~12' pieces) run crosswise, so the plastic is tied to the "bale sausage" every 2' for its entire length. With the twine set 2' apart on a 5X5 bale, the twine wraps over the bale after you roll out your plastic. You tie the end from one side to the other end of the same piece of twine from the opposite side. It's tied with a half hitch & a half hitch loop so all you have to do is pull the tag end to untie it. As far as the wind flopping, there isn't any to speak of. On the first and last bales I set the twine within 6" of the edge of the bale so that part (6") flops a bit, but that's all. [/QUOTE]
