    WB Big Mamajamba w/panel pulls

    Can some one please check there Big Mamajamba w/panel pulls for me and let me know what there untensioned length is?

    I just got mine the other day and was making a snake skin for it and i realized that my tarp is 5 inches short of the 11ft (132") that is listed on the website. There was no tension while measuring, so I'm not sure if that is why I'm coming up short.

    should be 11' when pulled tight, that's likely the issue.

    So 5" short when non tensioned is not uncommon for the sil nylon? I kinda thought that was the case but haven't been able to set it up out side due to bad weather and moving

    Today is going to be the first day that I can take it out and put it up outside. I'll check the tensioned length once I have it up and repost the results.

    i don't know, i'm just guessing that's what it is. they're all cut from a template so it didn't accidentally get cut short or anything, and since it has panel pulls that means it's not the edge (which is 6" shorter). it's likely the seam is causing it to appear shorter when not tensioned. the stitches will gather the fabric some, especailly on a long seam. should stretch to full length once you set it up

    Thanks Warbonnetguy,

    I was just a little curious that's all. I working on two different types of skins for it, a two piece and a one piece for someone else and wanted to make sure that I got measurements right.

    Now I just need to find the lightweight no see um bug netting to cut the weight down from the regular window screen netting LOL.
