New design from GargoyleGear

[gargoyle]

Played with the dimensions and cut of the Ogee.
This is a 12 footer in 1.1 grey sil.

Standard diamond set up with the doors pulled back. Two stakes needed. The long point of the triangle is 6' to the ridgeline.
18286

Turned so the sides of the triangles become the ridgline, 116" ridge in this configuration. This new cut now allows the doors to close when set up in tent mode. The original version does not fit over a standard 100"+ ridgeline hammock.
18287

Other side.
18288

Door pulled open and a view inside. Side pullout used and allows for more interior space.
18289

16.8 oz. in the stuff sack. :cool:
I'll proto up an 11' footer and see how the new dimensions/cuts work out, but I'm pretty confident they will.

looks cool. perhaps some pics with a hammock underneath would give us a more clear description....

[canoebie]

ohh, ohh, sent it to me Randy, I will take some pics with my hammock.:cool:

Looks great, I like the whole adaptable diamond idea.

[MacEntyre]

That a lot of tarp for one pound and one ounce (almost)!

Will do.
I want to get the 11' done and test before I get all "public". :rolleyes:;)
But I know it covers a hammock.:D

Thanks Mac and Canoebie for the kind words.:boggle::boggle:

[Shug]

So nice .... I need to see one in person to really get those different set-ups.
Very Lunar Module!!!!! Optical illusions too.......
Very well made.

Would like to see more picts in the winter mode. I'm in the market for a winter tarp. Needs doors and lots of room inside. What about pullouts for winter mode since you usually drop the side angle for more wind protection?

[PuckerFactor]

I can see the potential for using this style tarp for concealment very easily. Different colored panels to break up the outline. Very nice work, Gargoyle!

[kobold]

As requested Mega Ogee video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_S4adI22o&feature=BF&list=ULWI1hEvN33mc&index=5)

Sorry about the crunchy snow, shaky camera work and sniffles.
9* out there and my camera said "burr, dummy! let's go back inside."
I'll shoot some pics to fill in the end....

[ShadowAlpha]

very nice - I like all the diff configurations! :)

[Cranky Bear]

Very nice design!

[SmokeHouse]

very nice,,, whats next on the drawing board... ;)

[gargoyle]

Thank you all for the compliments!!:boggle:

Ogee and mega Ogee lend themselves well to ground sleepers.
It may be good tarp for those folks who need the option of a tarptent?
Left or right hand entry. Stake it down tight, pull in the extra parts.

18385
Staked up on a stick to alow for ventilation. One side pulled out, with room for two.

And because someone will ask to see a sexy model. :lol::rolleyes:;)

Thanks for the demo video. Off to check your website.

[kobold]

thank you gargoyle. looks like a great, versatile tarp. i plan on doing some shots myself... mega ogee, the best fun for the buck! :D

[MuseJr]

Thanks for the video. It helps explain the setup option a little more. I think I might need to set one up and play with the different configurations before I truly understand how versatile it really is.

[gargoyle]

Posted the final section of the video inside the Mega Ogee. And some shots of the ogee in ground mode. Thanks for looking.
Here is Part 2. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FHCIpQyWAY&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL)

Got my diamond tonight Randy! Love it! Truly well fashioned and constructed. I'll checkout that Ogee and get back wit ya. Thanks again for my black diamond w/ the very distinctive orange stitchin'. ~Wolf

[gargoyle]

Dain, glad you like it.

Thought I'd chime in to say that the Ogee design has become my go-to tarp.
I made mine, since I like to make stuff and I used the original Ogee dimensions. This new version of the Ogee with more side coverage promises to be even better.

I really do encourage anyone that is in the market for a versatile tarp to get an Ogee from Gargoyle. Folks that I trust say that he produces top quality stuff, and the design is pure genius.:thumbup:

BTW, don't PM me asking to make one for you. I won't.
I'll make little stuff like peak bags, Jerry Chairs, and ridgeline organizers.
Heck, I'll even make IX UQs and TQs.
But I'd be a fool to try to compete with folks like Gargoyle who produce innovative, well made gear at fair prices.
Same goes many of the other vendors you'll find on HF (for example, I won't make a WBBB clone for you either):D

[Hawk-eye]

I've got the first design version but I'll second that ... great tarp design and well made! That Gargoyle is a clever feller! :woot:

[Mountain Gout]

Yep... I am still giddy over mine.. First week of May, and I get to do a few days with her turkey hunting.... Ninja Stan...

[sr1355]

That is one fine looking tarp... I hope your bring one of those up to North Manitou with you, would love to see it in person....
