    Rectangular Tarp vs 4 Season Tarp

    What's the difference between these two? Based on the tie outs on the rectangular tarp, can't you fold the corners in for doors just like the 4 season?

    Dougalcorn,

    The main difference is the placement and number of side tieouts. The 10' x 12' has 5 (including corner tieouts) per side, evenly spaced every 36 inches. The OES 4-season tarp has four tieouts, and they're spaced further from the corner tieouts so that it is easier/possible to fully close the doors over without pulling the rest of the tarp into itself. Doing the same thing on a 10' x 12' cat cut tarp wouldn't quite lead to complete closure of the doors.
