    What kind of tarp fabric

    Want to have a custom tadpole tarp made in a sweet color. Where can i find a good deal on 1.2 oz Silnylon? The guy who is making it says his fabric he uses is silnylon and all tarps are made of "double coated silicone nylon." I just don't like his colors and want to get fabric elsewhere

    Dutch just released some light weight "silArgon" for $5.75 a yard. Might be worth trying out.

    DIYgearsupply.com would be a good place to check out. prices seem reasonable and there is a lot of selection.

    I believe noah lamports is one of, if not the cheapest solutions. You have to call on the phone to talk about silnylon, and if you can get the rest of a roll, as opposed to having them cut fabric, you'll save there as well. Shipping is where they get you, but you can cut the cost down by asking them to take it off the roll and fold it in a box. Even after shipping costs, I believe you come out pretty far ahead depending on how much you get.
