13' winter tarp?

**monkeynono** · 11-26-2018, 09:13

I am looking for a 4 season tarp with a 13' ridgeline with a similar door layout as a WB Superfly and 3 pulls on each side. Any suggestions? Thanks

Simply Light designs winter haven. Lots of posts about in in the SLD vendor thread.

SLD's Winter Haven fits that bill. He makes a 13' with panel pulls, although I don't know if it'd have three pairs standard. Contact Jared, I'm sure he could do it.

Thank you both for your responses. I actually own a 12' SLD wh, but I do not like how far back the doors must come to close. When I "close" the doors on my SF I don't overlap them but just touch seams giving me more room at the head and foot ends.

Warbonnet does custom tarps now...https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/pr...-tarp-builder/
Could get two pullouts and a center tie out or a center pole mod.

Hot Dang, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I didn't know they were doing customs now.

I just ordered a WH. I can't quite visualize what you're saying, but I hope I don't end up not liking it for this reason.

The doors on my 12' Cat Tangle come back at a steep angle if I overlap the doors a lot. If I think I'll need them, I find it's better to fasten the doors before I figure out where I'm going to put my stakes.

OneClick, imagine an "upside down" trapezoid, where the shorter parallel side is on the bottom. That's what the tarp looks like from the side... probably most winter tarps. The difference is in how steep the angle is from the bottom of the doors to the ridgeline (the angled sides of the trapezoid).

Mine is similar to this, so I use it for reference (until I actually receive mine). It looks like everything I want, so hopefully it works out.

When you say "how far back the doors come" are your doors pulling back inside of the tarp further than the 2 corners on the same end or do you mean the doors do not extend out away from the inside of the tarp enough (as comparing it to a tarp that extends the doors out to like a triangle pattern)?

I guess differences in things like the RL height of the tarp, using inside pole mods, outside pole mods, tension and direction of center pull and ground pull outs etc may affect how the doors end up when closed.

Most of the time when I set up my 13' SLD Winter Haven with the doors closed/snap they extend out away from the inside of the tarp by several inches but nothing major.
