    What kind of rope do you all use to tie your tarp?

    I don't have a rope or cord to tie my Tarp to trees yet. What size/kind do you all use? I have a MacCat Standard. I have guylines. I just need something for the ends. and how long do you have each piece of rope/cord? Thanks!

    I have 3mm cord. I am just unsure as to how much longer to make each piece. I know I used 50ft bear bag rope and ended up cutting a lot of that off. Thanks! BTW I always like the pink text you use. It seems peppy without being annoying.

    well thank you rockstar, i like he pink too. my guylines use to tied to trees is 12ft, but 10 ft should be perfect. i may end up cutting mine to 10ft. i think some here might even have shorter ones!

    I looked through the LIG t-shirts online until I found a hammock. They had another as well.

    Rockstar, I use 2 mm accessory cord on one of my ENO DryFly tarps and the stock guyline cord on the other. If I'm not mistaken, they're both 10 ft each. BTW, I saw taht t-shirt and had to have it, I've had the short sleeve for a while now and got the long sleeve on clearance back in the spring.

    Thanks! I would buy the LIG sirts if they weren't so much for the wicking kind.

    I use 8-9' on the tree ends and about 6' on the sides. Others use more, but I haven't had problems yet.
