Best i can say is look at pictures to see how the corners lap over. And then start by drapeing it over the center section first. And then the ends second.

If I were you, I'd find a carpet installer. They are pros at sizing and cutting stuff like this to size. Show them some pictures of a cargo cover, and go over the details of overhang, etc, and I'm sure they would be of great assistance.

My step dad installed carpet before he opened his own business, and anytime I have something like this I enlist his help, and I've never been disappointed.

If there is an auto or boat upholster in you area you might check with them. Do you have real canvas (old school cloth) or plastic (new style). Canvas is a bear to work with and a lot heaver than the new tarps. You will need gromets installed for tiedown points.
