    purple palace

    I just finished my "purple palace" winter tarp using DIYGearSupply's plans. It looks more blue in the pics than it actually is.

    Nice. My wife loves her purple palace I made for her. It goes nicely with her purple people eater hammock.

    I pick our fabric up from quest outfitters. I am pretty sure Royal purple was the color.

    I made a tarp out of that stuff. Mine was navy blue but looks the same color in the photos. I believe it's 1.35 oz per square yard after sil treatment.

    Thanks- It's funny we named them the same thing. I had to laugh when I watched your vid and you called it purple palace. I also have a black shack. Anybody else have one of those?

    I made that and added the pullouts...really worth the extra effort. Especially with a CPVC pole mod.
