Possible new asym tarp by Dutchware, feedback appreciated

[Dutch]

So I made this asym tarp from my new Xenon Wide polyester sil. It is 17 inches wider than the standard sil so it is ideal for Asym tarps and winter tarps. I also think it would be cool to make a tarp that is wide on the windward side and shorter on the other side to put in porch mode. Anyhow I put together a vid to show it off and show the amount of coverage you can get from one piece of fabric. There is no center seam on this tarp and there is no seam sealing. The Xenon Wide is available at www.makeyourgear.com and we will be offering it in a kit version. Everyone I have shown this too so far has said I should offer it on Dutchware. So what do you think? Should I offer this tarp as a product on Dutchware?

YES! Take my money!

I really dig the multiple ridgeline options, I would love to see it on the site. Do you have a weight on it?

[Dutch]

It is a little more than 9 ounces. You could shave some of that off because the long side is really long. But it is a nice dry space for your gear.

Very cool. I would be interested for a minimalist set up. Might pair well with the Half-Wit. Any thoughts on a name for it?

How long is the 10'x75" piece's ridgeline when hung on the asym angle?

[mountainhanger]

Very. Nice I love the multpile ridgeline tieout also plus paired with the halfway you'd have a sweet 3 season ul kit. I think this should be an option. As well I think the multiple ridgeline attachment would go good with a standard hex.. just my opinion. Also like how it seems to have a big tie out to just clip the guyline onto

That is very cool.

Obviously, there's a lot you can do with xenon Wide.

I just bought some of your Dutch Double Whoopie Hooks for side-by-side hanging with my wife; I think it would be cool to have a hex tarp made from Xenon Wide with an 12-foot ridge line and a 12-foot width to accommodate two hammocks with minimal weight and bulk...

Hi Dutch, so the aerospace ME in me and my love for tarp testing is coming out a little bit here. I hope you don't mind some simple brain storming?
I'd like to ask shouldn't that second RL tieout (the storm mode one) be extra strong to handle storms?
It would seem to me the storm mode tieouts should provide extra support and not just be a simple panel pull on the rolled edge.

I don't need another tarp. I don't need another tarp.

I think that'd be an awesome seller, and that's some great ingenuity.
