Is tulle an alright substitute, if that is what you have for mesh? Is quality an issue?
Well, tulle is what I had so I made some. I dropped the length of each from 7' to 6' and I made the tubes skinnier. The diameter on the small ends are 1" and the diameter on the wide end is 2.5" It fits my OES MacCat Standard very well. I hope they hold up.
Just made a set of these with some leftover ripstop. I made them 3" on the narrow side and 13" on the wide side. Working great so far for my DIY BlackCat tarp.
Anyone have a link to one piece skin instructions?
I figure it would just be a rectangle about the same length as your tarp's ridgeline at somewhere between 7" and 9.5" in width. Sew the long edges together to form a tube, and then add a Roll Hem to each end. I'd add some shock-cord or drawstring to each end just for good measure and ease of deployment.
This is going to be my first DIY project that I was going to start making next week so it was nice to have this place to read so many great ideas! Thanks to all you with the creative ideas for me to use. :cool:
For those of us lacking their "Thread Injector/Gear Making Machine" licenses (or learner permits for that matter)....is there anyone out there selling mesh skins?
