Oh ew I didn’t think of the mosquitos….lol yes, it's to hold the blue tarp in place. old tires aren't just a great way to breed malarial mosquitos, they' re kind of an all-purpose utility object in the right hands, almost like a cinderblock.
i wouldn't call this "redneck engineering," because redneck engineering is risky-but-successful.... like piling 10 pieces of furniture on a car roof with a single ratchet strap and then driving on the highway without anything falling off. while i don't love the phrase white trash, i guess "white trash engineering" is the right description for using an old tire to keep a roof tarp over a leak
I’ve seen tons of good redneck fixes/builds. My mom built a whole horse lean to with a bunch of random scrap wood, was it ugly? Yup. That ugly thing held for years though!
