    My only experience with polycro is with the ground sheets the MLD sells. They are just one step above plastic garbage bags in strength. Not what I would use as a tarp. It was originally developed for window film, where strength wasn't needed. But, the stuff is indeed light weight.

    Now, these folks may be making this in some very thick variant to overcome the strength issue, but buyer beware.

    I will have to research these poles when I get time. The lightest poles that I know of come from Gossamer Gear.

    Chad (Sticks) talk about these items on his blog.

    The jury is still out on the durability of the polycro.

    What a lovely group of young ladies enjoying a refreshing beverage by the pool side. However, they seem to be blocking the view of the hammock in the background.

    How far-sighted of you. With drug-store reading glasses, you'd notice the dozen occupied hammocks in the foreground. And yes, that a couple of them are obscured.
