    Made my first tarps

    One is about 10.5 X 8.5
    he other is 11 X 8.5
    Both made from sil Poly with a lightly heavier fabric for the reinforcements. I don't know about the first (smaller) one, but the larger one, including the guy lines and the (non continuous) ridge line weigh 13 oz.
    For my first gear build I'm pretty happy with them.

    They look great! Just curious, why'd you make two? And so similar of sizes?

    Nicely done! My 11 footer DIY came in a bit under as well. Not quite sure what happened there, but still enough for coverage for my 11 foot hammock. You're well on your way.

    Good luck with the quilts!
