Tarp for two?

**sweeneyguy** · 08-29-2010, 21:55

Evening everyone.. total noob here. Want to say thanks for a lot for all the info. I just converted my Claytor and my daughter's Grand Trunk over to whoopie slings that I made usingTa the info from here.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a tarp for two? We have set up twice now using three trees and the tarp that came with my Claytor just doesn't make it.

Thanks again..

The MacCat Ultra has always been a good choice for me.

I use a custom OES 12x10 - it is great for two hammocks, because it has lots of coverage for severe weather, and I also had Brian add a number of extra tieouts to make it very versatile in the ways I can pitch it.

More details on my specific tarp are at this thread:

I have a BWDD 4-season that I use for two people.

sweeneyguy, the go to size for a two person tarp for many of us is 12X10. I use an OES 12x10 most times with my wife. I built a 12.5'x10' and that's even better IMO. However, my $0.02 would be to recommend a 13'+ tarp for use with the Claytor if it's the Jungle model. The stock tarp the comes with the Claytor Jungle is 13'. If you want a cat cut tarp, remember that hanging off center as you must with two people that some length may be lost where the tarp curves in, unless it a very shallow cut. I'll be custom making a 13.5'x10' for a friend of mine who uses a Claytor as soon as the fabric gets here.

Thank you sir..that's pretty much what I was looking for. I would love to see pictures of it when you're done.
