    Custom Sil Argon Winter Tarp for FishingJunkie92

    Just wanted to share a tarp I just finished for FishingJunkie92. It was my first time working with Sil Argon. That stuff is slick! Really light, and easy to work with. A bit more stretchy then normal sil - may require tensioners.

    The tarp is a winter tarp using these dimensions:

    Final Weight came out to 15.6oz

    Light was fading, so I took a break to snap some pic's before the panel pulls were added:

    Looks nice. I have one in the works at the moment. How long are the grosgrain tie out reinforcements? I'm guessing about 4"?

    Thanks for the compliments everyone! These pictures really don't do it justice.

    The tie out reinforcements are a continuous piece of grosgrain about 7 - 7.5in long. Its folded over where the tieout is attached.

    Beautiful job!
    I am just finishing a very similar one, but a bit smaller, weighing in at 12 ounces without the tie-outs. I love the Argon sil. Mine (actually for my son) is that rich dark brown color.

    Awesome tarp! I love the Argon sil also, and I agree, very stretchy!
