    Tarp for Double Hammock Setup

    I remember someone posting pics of a cottage made tarp with two hammocks pitched under it in the V configuration but I can't find anything on it. I'm considering the JRB 11'x10' Cat tarp vs the WB Superfly. I am looking for:

    1) Winter tarp for 1
    2) Summer tarp for 2
    3) light weight for backpacking.

    The goal is go get a tarp for my wife that she can use by herself if we can't do the V hammock setup and and I can use by myself in the winter pitched in a tent configuration with closed ends or doors. Does anyone have experience with a particular tarp in the double V setup? As you can see in my profile I already have a Spinn OES Deluxe for myself so I'm also open to OES tarp suggestions but I am going to get sil fabric this time since we won't use this one as much and I can't justify the cost for such a big tarp. I am thinking a square tarp will be better than a hex in the double configuration but I could be wrong.

    I was able to set up my Gear Guide 12x12 with two hammocks. It is a bit crowded and you need just the tree configuration, but it is doable.

    also if you dont move much in your sleep or arnt easily disturbed. you can attach both hammocks to the same 2 trees and put a spreader bar typed thing between the ropes to separate them. there was talk of this before.
    I reject your reality and substitute my own

    I saw something about that spreader bar configuration. We have two WBBBs so I'm going to try and get them in a head to toe (69) configuration so we can both get in from the outside. I ordered a custom straight-edge 11x10 tarp from OES with tie-outs that will allow me to go with a V configuration or close the ends with the flaps with a single hammock setup while maintaining the 11' ridge line (something you can't do with the JRB 11x10 I suspect because its a cat cut along the 11' edges).
