    Tarp With Doors for Bridge Hammock..?

    Looking for tarp options for a possible upgrade to a bridge-style hammock. I've heard that it can be tricky finding a tarp to fit over a bridge hammock and I haven't been able to find one with doors to aid in weather protection.

    Any suggestions? What do you bridge hangers use?

    Thanks!

    Would you please explain the "add on beaks" and where I would get them?

    (I'm not a DIY'er.)

    Thanks!

    I have a Warbonnet Ridgerunner and I use a custom Hammock Gear cuben tarp with it.

    It has an 11' ridgeline, 8.5' wide, 8' baselines without caternary cut. It has the side pullouts placed at 6'8" apart to accommodate the spreader bars. It also has doors at one end only.

    I shortened the suspension triangle dogbones on the foot end of my ridgerunner to 30" each, so the doors can close on the foot end when the hammock is pitched close to tarp for inclement weather (with the side pullouts in use). Otherwise, this makes a luxurious canopy in porch mode.

    the Wilderness Logics, Oldman Winter with the outside pole mod is optimal coverage tarp for a bridge.
    The OMW does a good job with out the pole mod too.

    I have a Wilderness Logics Bullfrog tarp with a 11' rl and it works great with my WBRR.
