    Question Tarp for 2 hammocks?

    Has anyone out there made a tarp suitable for 2 hammocks? I imagine using 3 trees with the foot area of each hammock using the same tree.

    Picture a normal hex tarp like a MacCat Deluxe. Turn it into an asymmetrical octagonal shape by adding 2 more tie-outs on one end to be used for the dual ridge lines. This design would be usable as a single or double hang.

    Has anyone done anything like this?

    You can fit two hammocks side by side under a 12 x 12 tarp just fine. Another option is to hang one hammock over the other. Put the colder sleeper on top.

    I have set one hammock and one picnic table

    under my Cookes Custom Sewing (CCS) 15x15 tarp, and there should be more than enough room for just two hammocks. For applications such as this I am a fan of square or rectangular tarps as they lend themselves to many different sets, limited only by one's ingenuity.

    Here's a picture of a 3 tree double hang that I did with my wife, using a Kelty 12x12 Noah's tarp. Lots of good options with all the tieouts that are available.

    You don't need a special tarp. I hang two hammocks under the MacCat Standard pretty often and have never gotten wet. Even did it at 14F at Mt Rogers in an icy snow and stayed warm and dry.

    If you want more room, go for something a little bigger or with doors, but you don't have to have a huge tarp, or any special shape.

    Search the archives a bit...this topic comes up several times a year.
