I've just bought a WBBB 1.7dbl and a Superfly from Mat at UKHammocks and am really pleased with the whole set-up. (cheers Mat :-)) I'm now trying to figure out the tarp tie outs. Thanks to some of the previous posts on HF I've set the four corners up with a shock cord tensioner at the tarp rings and lash-it tie outs running through prussics fixed to the tensioners so it can be adjusted from within the tarp. For the doors, I've tied shock cord to the tarp rings with a slippery hitch, and I have tied a 12" length of lash-it to the end of the shock cord with a Dutch hook at the very end. This can then be hooked back onto itself round the peg or up onto the continuous tarp line to hold the doors back. I haven't started with the pull outs yet, I need more shock cord. Does this sound ok? Or have I missed out a fundamental bit?
Also, my Dutch hooks are permanently attached and will be stowed away with the tarp in it's snake skins. Is this likely to cause a problem due to abrasion?
Thanks in advance.
