Here is my first go at a tarp. I wanted a tarp big enough that both me and my wife can hang under (I think I went overkill!) After hanging the tarp I decided I needed another tie out point in the center of each side, and I have since added those but its not in these pics. This tarp is rectangular and is made from 1.1 oz ripstop from BWDD. I sewed 1/2" grosgrain rolled inside all the perimeter seams and the ridgeline. The tieouts are reinforced with 210D material from BWDD. The tieout loops are 1" grosgrain with plastic d-rings. This is not only my first shot at a tarp but will also be my first shot at DIY sil... hopefully turns out good! I will be applying the silicone tomorrow! The tarp weighs 21 oz before the silicone. I will take pics of it and post them and thoughts... and also get pics of my DIY bugnet - 8 oz with stuff sack (based off hammock bliss noseeum cacoon)
