Larger Cuben Fiber tarp

**MagLev** · 02-25-2016, 14:21

Hello Hammock Hangers. I would like to replace my Hennessey Explorer Asym 69'x110' tarp with a comparable size cuben fiber tarp. Anyone know a company that offers a cuben tarp that is close to this size. I have found several cuben asym tarps but they are smaller. Thanks!

Only two companies (to my knowledge) offer cuben fiber tarps: HG and Zpacks, and I don't know much about Zpacks.

HG's Asym tarp can have a 10, 11 or 12 ft. ridgeline, and they say the short side is 5 ft. 5 inches (65 inches) with long side 8 ft. 6 inches (102 inches). I would imagine the short and long side measurement change depending on what ridgeline you select. I'd call them to make sure you get what you want.

Are you looking for a cat cut, or rectangular? If the latter, have you considered pitching it on the diagonal to mimic the HH tarp shape? I did this for many years with an 8x10 siltarp 2.

I believe he/she is looking for an asym. I personally prefer the 4-season coverage of the Winter Palace. However, it is expensive. If you're comfortable with an asym, I'd look at the HG Hex tarp - it's 5.3 ounces compared to HG Asym at 4.3 ounces, and you'll get much better coverage (not as much as I'd recommend, but much better), and only $70 more.

I saw a couple on eBay, I think they were called Jimmy tarps? Not seeing them now just the silnylon never mind.

HG will custom make any size you want. I currently have one on order with a 12'-0" ridgeline that's 12'-2" wide.
I'm sure ZPacks will do the same.

Thanks for all the replies . I have a HG Hex tarp ordered . I think it will serve well.

I know the OP already ordered his tarp, but want to add that Mountain Laurel Designs makes hammock tarps in cuben as well....they probably have been working with cuben as long as anyone.
