Easy cargo cover
I have a `02 F-150 SuperCab King Ranch. Two to three times a year, I have the need to cover cargo in the bed. I don't need a permanent cap or topper. I found this website. http://www.tarice.com/Truck_Tarps/truck_tarps.html
Does anyone here have any experience with this system? What about the price, fair for the product? Other suggestions?
Comments appreciated.

Well, lots of views on this thread but no response from anyone.
Got the Truck Tarp this past weekend. Haven't used it yet but, it is a good heavy tarp, straps sewed on at two places across the tarp with buckles to cinch it up. 8' x 10' in size. Eyes at 12" spacing for a pull rope to lace in to cinch around the ends of the load. It is a nice inexpensive way to cover cargo that hides away for a clean look otherwise.

Update
I ordered one of these and got it in. For the price, it is a bit more than a standard tarp would be.
On the other hand, what you get for the standard size Truck Tarp is a 8' x 10' silver industrial grade polyethylene tarp with three 1" polypropylene straps sewn at the edge, stretching lengthwise of the tarp with spring loaded aluminum buckles and vinyl coated steel hooks on the ends to hook under the bed rail or into bed anchor points.
Pulling on the end of the strap cinches the tarp down across the bed as the tarp is folded to take in the excess length depending on the size of the load. Across the edge of the the tarp ends at 12" spacing are eyes for a rope to be weaved with knots at the ends. Pulling and tying off one end of the rope will pull the tarp in around the ends of the load. BTW it also comes with a storage bag made of the same material with a draw cord.
All in all, a handy thing to have for a truck with an open bed that is easy to use and easy to store away and at a reasonable price.
