    Modded Guide Gear Tarp

    I took the Guide Gear tarp and cut it down to a 11.5 ft ridge line length. I attempted to cut catenary cuts in the sides, but it appears I didn't allow for enough curviture.

    I sewed 7/8 grosgrain around the edges and reinforced the corners with some old tent material I had laying around.
