    Funky Forest Tarp size?

    My wife is ordered a deal from reioutlet.com that includes an SBpro and a Funky Forest Tarp. The specs said that the FF tarp is 8.5 X 8.5 That seems small so I checked the Travel Hammock site and it shows 10 X 10.

    My question is... Are there different sized FF tarps? (discontinued, maybe...) I'm hoping it's an error in the specs and is not really an 8.5 X 8.5.

    If I understand correctly the forest tarp is hung on the diagonal making the ridgeline the longer than the sides. I would think you would be ok 8.5X8.5
    . By my figures that is around a 12' ridgeline on the diagonal.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    That doesn't explain the 10 x10 spec on the manufactures website. I'm sure it'll work either way, just want to know what it really is.

    sometimes they list the diagonal measurements instead of the rectangular side dimensions, (note this on the claytor webside) - like if it says 10 x 10 diagonal tarp, that may be 10' on the diagonal, not 10' on each side.

    I have a Skeeter Beeter Pro as well as the Funky Forest Tarp. I believe the diagonal ridgeline is 13' or 14'. It cover the Skeeter Beeter Pro well. Here is a picture of the Funky Forest tarp used over the Travel Hammock ATHH.
