Can I make a tarp solely out of silnylon, or do I also need other fabrics like nylon or something???

The whole entire tarp has nothing but silnylon, no like nylon corners or other fabric layers for added strength or anything like that?
Like what kind of heavier material??

The local Walmart has only 4yd and 16in worth of Silnylon! Do you guys think that is enough for a tarp. I don't have to make a rectangular tarp. I could make something else, but I'm not sure how I could.
If anyone has an idea as to how I could make a tarp with that much fabric please share.
Please and thank you

it would be long enough but it's not going to be but about 60" wide. you would need two of those.
besides, i'm always suspicious when someone says they found silnylon at walmart. i think some have, but i believe what some have thought was silnylon was actually just a DWR treated 1.1oz ripstop.
speer hammocks is the cheapest place i know to get true silnylon. you can make a large tarp for less than $50.00.
I too will something make and joy in it's making
aceatc- you're going to spend more money on gas than if you just call the Speers. For $29.75 + shipping you could get enough sil to make a cat cut tarp 10' long. Or you could spend the extra $4.25 and make yourself a full-on BlackCat with a 12' length. So, yeah $30 or $40 and no guessing about the material.
Probably about $6 in gas, maybe like $12.
But yes, odds are really against me finding the material and even if I do it won't say what the heck it is.
Frick!
