How to Measure for a Box Truck Bed Tarp (Box Tarp)
If your truck uses a closed box bed, measuring the tarp will focus on determining the length, width, and height of the bed. Here are the detailed steps:
Step 1: Measure the Overall Length of the Truck Bed
Use a measuring tape to measure the entire length of the truck bed, from the front to the rear. Note, only measure the main bed, excluding any protruding details such as hinges (if any).
Step 2: Measure the Overall Width of the Truck Bed
Measure the width of the truck bed, from the left side to the right side. Similar to measuring the length, make sure to measure the entire usable width of the bed.
Step 3: Measure the Tarp Height
This is an important step to determine the height of the tarp from the highest point of the truck’s frame or rail to the desired bottom edge of the tarp. Measure from the highest point of the frame (or the roof of the bed if there is no frame) to where you want the bottom edge of the tarp to end.

How to Measure for a 5-Piece Truck Bed Tarp
For a 5-piece tarp, which has a more complex structure, you need to measure the side wall height to ensure the tarp is tailored to fit snugly around the truck bed.
Steps 1 & 2: Measure the Overall Length and Width of the Truck Bed
The steps for measuring the overall length and width of a 5-piece truck bed tarp are the same as measuring for a box tarp. Measure the length from front to back and the width from left to right of the truck bed.
Step 3: Measure the Tarp Height
Measure the height from the top of the truck frame to the desired bottom edge of the tarp. This is the height of the tarp covering the top and sides of the truck.
Step 4: Measure the Side Wall Height
Measure the height of the side wall from the top of the side wall frame to the bottom edge of the tarp you want to cover. This is the individual height of the side wall portion of the truck.
