    Pattern or tips for HH Hex fly doors

    Ok I'm thinking about making my own doors for my HH hex tarp. Can anyone please steer me in the right direction as far as measurements or patterns? Any help would be Huge!

    I've successfully used a GI poncho (5' by 7' or thereabouts) as an improv Grizz Beak. If you want, I could probably get a video of that up by Tuesday or so.

    I am also interested in the same thing. I was looking throughout the forums this evening to see if anyone had made them.

    I would just make a couple grizz beaks for them. Also, 2QzQ can attach the doors on there too for those who don't sew.

    Making a tarp with doors is really easy too and an excuse to get a new tarp.

    This is one of the Grizz Beaks on my Hennessy Hex Tarp, pretty easy project. I simply hemmed all the edges and used grosgrain for the tie outs.


    I used the dimensions in this thread.
