SWT Mods - Suggestions?

[GvilleDave]

I am considering a few mods to my SWT ( great gear as is but with all things one must tinker...). Right now my thought is to add a couple reinforced tie-outs to the sides. Anything special I should do other than add a reinforcing patch of sil on the inside, sew it in place and seam seal? Recommended size for the tie-out patch?

I also noticed at the John Rock hangout that MacEntyre had small loops added to the edges of his tarp end that allowed him to lace up the ends. That looks like a good addition that will help close the ends next winter. I have some 3/8" grosgrain on hand; will that be sufficient for this use?

Other suggestions? Who has successfully tricked out their SWT (or other similar tarp) - pictures appreciated.

Thanks Shug! The tie out reinforcement picture is just what I needed.

Now for the courage to start sewing on my perfectly good (and no longer produced) SWT...
