My DIY measures 7' at baseline with 11' ridgeline and 10' wide, so the HG will be close to the same coverage just a little more narrow. The loss in weight will surely make up for it I'm sure!

You made a good decision ordering this tarp. I love mine.
Anybody wish they would have just coughed up the extra cash and got the 4S? Cuz that's what I'm thinkin! These decision are gut-wrenching :)
I have both, the cat cut,,and the straight cut,,4 season HG Cuben tarps,,and both are super easy to hang and get taunt or tight on the RL using Zing-it and dutch flyz to tie off with. With the BMBH UL hammock,, I really like the better coverage the straight cut gives me. about the best I can get is tarp sides about 1ft off the ground with the bridge, If I am in a gathered end hammock about 6-8 inchs off the ground with the doors closed on both. If I don't need the doors,,just fold them either inside or outside and tie off and good to go in the porch mode as well. Both tarps I had Adam make with a 12' ridge line and the cat cut weighs about 10.9 oz with all the tie lines on,,the full cut is an even 13 oz,,and well pleased with both for 11' hammock coverage as well as the bridge.
Broke down and coughed up the extra for the 4S, it's only money.........at least that's what I told her :)
