    Thanks for the reply. How long is the horizontal conduit (ridgeline) for your stand? A 10 ft conduit is listed for $7.25 at homedepot.

    The great part is the Ogee Tarp is huge, plus it requires significantly less fabric than other full size tarps. Plus you have many different ways to deploy the tarp.

    Thanks.
    IF45, Do you have pics of your set up? You're using the mega-ogee, IIRC, and it is different than the standard ogee.
    Thanks for the compliment.

    And NO I am not in the gear making business anymore.
    Grapenut posted a how-to diagram a few years back.

    ztillma, we would all like a tarp that works great for $50. But as Shug mentioned, the material alone costs more than $50.
    Bridge hammocks need a longer RL tarp to effectively close shut around the suspension triangles. As mentioned, 12-13' tarp RL , will give you what you desire.

    For my RR I use a 14 ft ridge pole. For my gathered end hammocks I use a 12 ft. The Tato kit comes with a connector to join the pipes.
