Hex Tarp Guide?

**lmoseley7** · 10-22-2013, 13:06

I can't get the hex tarp guides on Scott's old webpage (backwoodsdaydreamer) to pull up and they don't appear to be on the new page yet. Does anyone have a copy of it or can you point me in the direction of some other instructions for a hex?

Thanks Shug. I still couldn't get the BWDD guides to load so I went to Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer and there they are. Thanks again and keep the vids coming.

Here's the pattern I made up, looks pretty similar to what Shug already posted.

Thanks everyone for posting access to the design.

I am in the middle of updating the website and webstore. The old site is still available for a little while more (www.backwoodsdaydreamer.com).

The NEW website is at www.diygearsupply.com. I've got most of the information for the DIY Guides up so far.

And let me know if there are other projects you want to see added. I expect to begin to have a spare hour here and there this winter.

I did scotts method, and if I were to do it again, I would make less of an angle on the end cat cuts to make it more rectangular and less hex. I find that when I hang the tarp high, I don't have very much side protection because the lower I hang under it the shorter the material becomes.

Otherwise my tarp came out great.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm looking to make a 12' ridgeline and have the sides at 8'. As with the first tarp I made I'll have a seam on each side and none down the middle.
