Now that winter is coming to a close, I got a winter front. I'd seen the mil-spec versions and thought they were nice, but I'm frugal. I was on McMaster-Carr, sometimes I like to window shop. I saw they had heavy duty 3' by 3' OD green tarps in flame resistant material. For $13. http://www.mcmaster.com/#7902t211/=w3gpun throw a couple of heavy duty rubber tie downs on the order, (http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/121/1538/=w3gsnm) fold it in half and you've got this:

Those are the two easiest positions, but it's really up to your tie down placement and imagination, there are plenty of places to hook the straps. I zip tied the grommets together on the bottom, I may fasten them a different way so it's easier to spread out flat if I need a ground cloth. I figure it will live in my tool boxes, it might be handy to use it full size for that if I needed it.
There are other winter front threads, most were for deuces, and most had someone selling a more expensive version. I know how this board is about new threads, but I thought it would be bad taste to post my cheap idea next to someone's item for sale. It may even work on a deuce, hopefully someone else will try it and verify if they like it.
Cheers.
