I friend of mine keeps each of his rolled up into a rool with the 
ratchet in the
center.  Then he uses tie wraps to keep them intact.  When put something on
his trailer and ties it down, he recoils the free end tie down and uses  some
tie wraps to hold that roll together.  So the free ends aren't flying 
or dragging
all over the place.
