Tarp for Dutchwear spreader bar system

**Mfox31** · 11-19-2017, 00:09

I have a 5 year old daughter that hangs next to me in her Hennessy Cub. I just got a Chameleon with the beetle buckles. I contacted Dutchwear and they confirmed that the spreader bar will work with both hammocks when I change out her suspension. We are currently using a Noah 12 tarp because of the versatility. I never know what our setup will look like with the current system we are using. When I switch to beetle buckles I would love to get a lighter tarp. I was looking at the Winter Dream or something similar. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

I use a Noah's 12x12 as well, so far, when my wife and I hang together using the Dutch spreader bar. Still looking for a good tarp for this very purpose, not that there's anything "wrong" with the KNT12.

Soon, hopefully, I'll have a 12x12 rectangular tarp made out of lighter weight fabric, so there should be a marginal weight savings. For two hangers, I feel like the straight-sided rectangular tarp will provide more coverage than one with the standard cat-cuts.

Let us know what you come up with. Good luck!

I just ordered a 12' silpoly xl winter haven for the same reason you're looking for something larger.

The UGQ 13' Winter Dream tarp with the double pole mod seems like it would really open up the interior to allow room for the spreader bar. Here's a good tour of the setup.
