    cuben fiber tarp w/doors

    I'm considering buying a cuben fiber tarp with doors. I'm curious if anyone can comment on how well the doors work on a cuben fiber tarp. I remember reading somewhere that spinn doors didn't work well due to noise and the lack of stretch. Any similar problems with cuben?

    My cuben tarp wityh doors pitches well but there is some slack in the folds.

    I don't notice any flap because suprisingly cuben is a very quite fabric.
    Unlike SpinnUL that is crinkly.

    I'm happy with mine, I know sil tarps with doors pitch taunt because of the stretch, I was hesitant at first with a non stretch fabric tarp and doors but I'm very happy in the direction I took.

    Good to hear. Now, just need to decide who to buy it from. Saw the thread you created about yours. It looks real nice.
