We are having a blast - i look forward to her first crawl, walking, hiking, camping etc

Baby is here, now 7 weeks old.

Still going to do this project - just been delayed a bit.

Red - the entire Cuben thing is postponed due to the baby.

The good news is i found the weight i want to use and a proper way to join the piece together without sewing. Now I just need to decide...

Sorry guys - a baby on the way has delayed my start.

I wanted to let everyone know that this is still being worked on.

Still working everything out - be patient with me.

Here is the video I made about the various cuben fiber samples and why I'm going to use the heavier version.

Ok, here are the fabric weights:

CT0.6K.08 = .48oz/yd^2

CT1K.08 = .51oz/yd^2

CT5K.18 = 1.47oz/yd^2

CT0.6K.08
CT1K.08 Olive Drab
CT5K.18 Olive Drab

This is what I'm looking at right now.

figured you'd like that.

Update:

I just talked to my supplier, I will be getting three different weight. The lightest weight will be the traditional see through clear type color. The middle weight will be olive drab (i'll...

I'm looking at bonding the ridgeline, so it will seal the ridgeline as it joins to two pieces of Cuben together.

Hence, no stitching and no seam sealing.

I will be hemming the edges, just to provide a cleaner finished look, but i won't be adding anything like GG.

sewing, taping, and gluing are all options right now. Based on preliminary tests, i won't be taping.

Thanks Mike - I'm excited about this as well - sure came out of no where.

I wish we would have talked sooner, I'm sending my Winter Dream off to a fellow board member for free!

Thanks for the wishes - i know the felling about being scared!

I can get custom colors already in olive drab, red, green, and white. They are all very transparent though.

Price will be more then the Spinn tarps because the price of the Fabric is significantly more.

I do plan to offer a cat tarp, however i'm going to be producing rectangle only first. The cuben...

I am in the final testing phase of glues vs. tape vs stitching. I'll let you know soon!

How long can I use the tarp before it loses its water resistant properties?

- It doesn't lose its water resistant properties - it is not coated like silnylon is.

Less noisy than SpinnUL or the...

i am using clear - it's more like a very faint white.

even lighter.

What dimensions are you looking for in a tarp? Rectangle or Cat cut?

All will be available in good time. I'm hoping to send out a couple test tarps in mid April.

Pretty soon, I'll be offering Cuben tarps for sale.


Only specs that I am willing to share is that initially I will be offering the tarps in two weights: 15.8 g/m2 and 25.4 g/m2.

My tarps will...
