    Should have seam sealed the bottom edges but the Ridgeline and sides are perfect. FYI if you do a rolled hem boarder and don't seamseal - your hem will hold water. I am letting it dry out and will seam seal all after I sew in the "pockets" for the tent poles and should be perfect.

I opted for no-sew corner reinforcement and a Standing Franch Seam for the ridge. I used the grosgrain for the seam for the ridge tie out using the same method Warbonnet uses. Added DIY 2QZQ style pole pockets, and a ribbon in the ridge to tie the pole, so I added another set of reinforcements for the pole pocket. I ordered the hardware kit for the first one, and didn't use any of it.. so I skipped it for the second. If you want to order just the tarp, I still have the hardware you can have for cheap...

    Definitely start with two, even three loaded bobbins. Go slow.. Slow is smooth...smooth is fast!!







    There are more pictures in my forum albums. Also pictures of my DIY hammock build.

    Questions are welcome, but I am heading out for an overnighter, so I likely won't reply until Sunday night..
    Great build! Looks great!

    If you're directing that at me... thank you .

    18oz for the winter tarp and 12.2 for the doorless

    These had replaced a Mamajamba & Superfly. They weighed 20.5 & 15.2 respectively. So I gained a foot of ridge line on each, Silpoly instead of silnylon, shaved some weight, pride of making them myself and netted a handful of dollars in my pocket after selling the WB tarps..
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    Can you provide additional details for the internal mods? Materials and source of materials.
