    Couple questions regarding Xenon Hex Tarp?

    Item in question.


    1). When you order it and choose to get the hardware and lines....do they come attached? I'm looking for a "right outta the bag" settup as I'm lazy and know nothing of knots.

    2). What are the reviews on said tarp? I'm not looking for anything that will handle a Monsoon/Blizzard. Just something that will work in mild rain and some wind. I guess I would say Spring/Summer tarp.

    1) Feel free to leave us a note at checkout and we can get those things attached for you. That's no problem.

    2) My personal experience is that the tarp has plenty of coverage for the majority of weather i have been in.

    Hex tarps are really effective. More coverage than an asym or a diamond/square. If you want to step up the coverage just a bit you could get one without cat cuts or get a wide version which will usually mean an extra foot on each side. 11 foot tarp is best for an 11 foot hammock. If you get a 12 foot tarp for an 11 foot hammock, you need to hang it higher to clear you hammock’s suspension straps. Which nice in that you can stand up more, but you are sacrificing some coverage because your sides are consequently higher off the ground.
