a bungee cord can help secure a propane tank under a cover.
A 100-pound propane tank is just under 4 feet tall and just more than 2 feet in width. A 100-pound propane tank is named such for its propane capacity of 100 pounds. The tank itself, filled to capacity, weighs about 170 pounds. Covering a propane tank can keep it clean from dust and dirt and safe from rust and precipitation damage. A cover can easily be made with a tarp and a few bungee cords. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Set the propane tank out in an open and level area. Make sure the valve is tightly turned to a closed position to prevent unwanted leakage.
2. Open up the tarp. Place it over the propane tank in a centered fashion. Smooth the tarp down over the tank and tuck the flaps under the bottom so the weight of the tank can contribute to keeping the tarp on it.
3. Stretch the bungee cords around the tarp-covered tank and connect the hooks together. The three bungee cords should be placed in an equidistant fashion from the bottom of the tank.
4. Use the scissors to cut a hole in the top of the tarp if you wish to have access to the valve while the tank is covered.
