Well, this a bit different homemade mod. Since I don't know your exact plan, I'd say use some form of adhesive, then tuck the edges under and staple it. I'm not suggesting just regular staples either, they make a special staple with a plastic base for use on tar paper for roofing, as far as I know, the special staple is required as well, unless you're good at hammering staples in. The Plastic Base on these staples varies by brand, but I'm familiar with ones that are an almost lime green, nothing a little paint or bedliner can't fix. I'm assuming you're making a hard top tonneau. Since you're a carpenter, I'd assume I don't need to add that you'll want to add crossmembers to brace it so it won't sag over time.

That's the term! I'm used to using the Stinger brand stuff, so I'm used to StingerCap Staples, but couldn't think of the names until now. I figure that would secure it tightly, while preventing a rip through.
