Who's Got My DIY Tarp Design? (NOOB)

Over the past week I've been accumulating my supplies for my diy hammock/tarp. Everything is pretty well in order except for a few tarp questions.

First of all, I just intend on making a 10x12 rectangle tarp. A nice tutorial would be excellent.

I'm wondering about sewing the reinforcements mainly. How different are the side reinforcements than the corner reinforcements? Is the ridgeline seam sewn with grosgrain? If so, why?

Here ya go.

Thanks for the link! The amount of information on these forum pages is almost overwhelming. Deffinantly addictive. Man I can't wait to get my hammock a hangin!

I used the BlackCat instructions for my DIY tarp, just finished it this week. Pics in my gallery.

Welcome aboard from Florida. Show it off when your done.

Thanks olddog! I can't wait to show off my project to my tent buddys up in the mountains...
