New design from GargoyleGear

Played with the dimensions and cut of the Ogee.
This is a 12 footer in 1.1 grey sil.

Standard diamond set up with the doors pulled back. Two stakes needed. The long point of the triangle is 6' to the ridgeline.

Turned so the sides of the triangles become the ridgline, 116" ridge in this configuration. This new cut now allows the doors to close when set up in tent mode. The original version does not fit over a standard 100"+ ridgeline hammock.

Other side.

Door pulled open and a view inside. Side pullout used and allows for more interior space.

16.8 oz. in the stuff sack.

I'll proto up an 11' footer and see how the new dimensions/cuts work out, but I'm pretty confident they will.

looks cool. perhaps some pics with a hammock underneath would give us a more clear description....

ohh, ohh, sent it to me Randy, I will take some pics with my hammock.

Looks great, I like the whole adaptable diamond idea.

That a lot of tarp for one pound and one ounce (almost)!

Will do.
I want to get the 11' done and test before I get all "public".

But I know it covers a hammock.

Thanks Mac and Canoebie for the kind words.

Very Lunar Module!!!!! Optical illusions too.......
Very well made.

Would like to see more picts in the winter mode. I'm in the market for a winter tarp. Needs doors and lots of room inside. What about pullouts for winter mode since you usually drop the side angle for more wind protection?

I can see the potential for using this style tarp for concealment very easily. Different colored panels to break up the outline. Very nice work, Gargoyle!
