    A little help on tarp selection plz.

    I bought a WBBB1.1 dbl. Now needing a roof. Narrowed it down to a WB Super Fly or an OES 4 season. Anyone have any input here?

    I hate to advise one manufacturer over another, but I will. I love OES tarps and I own custom ones. I met and like Brian...

    Get the Superfly tarp.

    The Superfly is shorter which allows the hammock to be hung higher. It helps with CBS. I believe it comes with side pull-out as well where oes charges extra (think that's correct). I also think the side pull outs on the SF are to far apart. Tends to bunch up the tarp. Each one has pros and cons. I own three oes tarps as well and think they are the strongest tarps I have. You can always customize to you specs.

    I own a superfly and couldn't be happier with all the options I have. Summer to winter it's my go to tarp. I use a no sew pole mod to hold the pull outs, works like a charm!

    I own a superfly and absolutely love it! I have yet to use the doors, but it works great in porch mode!

    Do your research on turnaround time from OES. I've read its a long wait. Warbonnet will go well with your Black Bird.

    I have the SF and love it! Good luck with whatever way you go.

    The superfly comes with side pullouts and also has a cat cut ridge which I like. I think the oes has grosgrain edging which I don't prefer.
