DIY Sil-Poly Hex Tarp with Two-Way Tie-Outs

[Winnie]

Finally the ridgeline design is crystal clear. Thank you.

Zing-It i(1.75mm) s a little small and kind of slippery; the LineLoc 3s seem to work best with various types of utility cord between 2mm and 3mm that have a more conventional woven sheath.

Thanks! I think I'm going to do this on my forthcoming Black Cat tarp. It is a great idea. Awesome!

Thanks again. LineLoc 3s work particularly well with Lawson Reflective Cord, which is about 2.38mm in diameter. My favorite plain cord for use with LineLocs is the 2mm utility micro cord from Simply Light Designs (not particularly high-tech but very versatile).

Sweet! Reflective is my favorite color. Any reflective. Hahaha

(You are not really making an extra row of holes in "the tarp" material per se, but rather in the vertical tab running along the ridge line, so water that would permeate the fabric through the holes made by attaching the ribbon to the ridge line still remains outside the tarp for practical purposes.)

Perhaps I can offer two images to help clarify. ...
Hopefully, this makes as much sense to you as it does in my head.

Absolutely! Thank you both, I get it now--kind of brilliant!
