    Another tarp pole mod

    I received a PM regarding my tarp pole mod that appears in the following photo that I posted in the TurtleDog Stand thread:



    Because it might be of interest to others, I thought I would post my response here. The pole mod that I made for my HG Cuben tarp is based on projects described in these threads:

    How do you locate the thread using those reference numbers? Just search the numbers themselves..?

    I thought that looked like cuben, and love the mods. If I ever add tie out to my tarp I'm stealing your idea. Thanks for sharing!

    As you will see from the other four threads I linked to, the idea is definitely not mine. I just borrowed the concept, then set out to find materials to make poles to fit my tarp.

    The spreader poles do a real nice job of opening up more space under the tarp. I tried (not very succesfully) to capture this in the two photos below, comparing the space under the tarp with and without the pole mod installed.
