just thought id let you know how i setup.
decided not to drill the wall and see how i could use the joist.

I've drilled holes both ends of the joist and connected to that.

if a tarp only has groisgrain tie outs, how can you attach D rings to it? is the only option unthreading and then sewing back together?

i was thinking of placing an order too, but for the amount i was going to purchse i'd probally get stung for customs and then the $ per ti peg would be the same as you can get in the uk.

However...

Cheers Shug, Yeah UK here, the SuperFly was the first initial thoughts but Mat current has no stock at the moment.

Plus the price was a little more than i was looking to spend.

Thanks guys, from the DIY's that i had seen i thought that the baffles where just "floating" rather than being sewn into each side of the UQ.
