decent tarp that won't break the bank

[stepheam]

I have a Hennessy Hex Fly that is as good as it gets for the money (when you can catch them on sale for $50-60) - but it is heavy. If you want a lighter weight option, I'd recommend keeping an eye on Warbonnet for a sale. They make the very best "bag for the buck" sil tarps that I have found to date.

Do you have to seam seal the Hennessy Hex Fly?

To answer the question above, I have the Hennessy hex and have not had to seam seal it. It has never leaked. To my knowledge, seam sealing is not required.

Thanks! Mine comes in tomorrow so I’m looking forward to testing it out.

I needed another tarp for my son for scout campouts.
I am going to give this a try:

It should be in hand by Monday.
I am sure that it is heavier than others, but they mostly car camp - and the price was hard to beat.

I ordered the same thing before seeing your post, but haven't had it out of the stuff sack yet.

Any impressions to share?

From hanging the Hennessy up on paracord in my sunroom, it looks nice and dry. Not weather tested. As others have said, the little pockets to hold the cords are nice when not in use.

Hennessy hex with sewn on doors best way to go

I have a new 11 ft. Warbonnet Minifly that is just the ticket for me. Small doors add very little weight, but good protection for ends of the hammock. $110.00 I added Dutch tarp worms for tie outs, and Stingerz plus Dutch hook for ridge line. Easy to put up and adjust.
