Newbie needs tarp reccomendation

[Tonks]

I am a total newbie and just bought a hammock. The hammock is a DreamHammock Crinkle 60. I want to get a single tarp which will be light, large enough for two hammocks and a dog, and good enough for most of the year in New Hampshire. It would be a bonus if it could be used as an on the ground shelter with a net tent or some type of bug netting. Oh, and I don't have much money, so the less expensive the better, if it still works well.

I will be using the one I made from a painter's cloth for a while, saving for a new one, but thought I would go with one of the big boys. Here is what I am looking at, but would be happy to have any additional recommendations:

GargoyleGear Mega Ogee 11
Warbonnet Superfly
JRB 11x10 Tarp


Any advice appreciated.

Thanks for the rec. Have you used this tarp at all? What do you like about it? I certainly like the price and the light color will let a great deal of light through.

I'm a happy MacCat Ultra from OES user! Wouldn't hesitate to recomend MacCat

[Tonks]

Cool, thank you. I will check it out.

I have a MacCat Deluxe for most days and a Warbonnet Superfly for Cooold and rainy days. Both are great. The MacCat Deluxe will honestly do you just fine for the vast majority of what you will face. However, a week in the mountains on the CT/NY border during a particularly cold, windy and rainy spell made a believer out of me regarding my Superfly. That thing was awesome for keeping everything dry and warm. Glad I have both!

[Tonks]

Very cool. I cant wait to order one. My hammock should be here any day!

You should check out the Etowah tarps they are great, and very affordable! I have a 11/12 ripstop for winter and a 10/10 silnylon for summer.
