    Partially Finished DIY Tarp

    Selling a DIY tarp that I'm not going to have time to finish anytime soon. IT is orange 1.1 silnylon, and dimensions are modeled after the OES MacCat deluxe, but with slightly more aggressive cat cuts, so It'll be super light!
    The two tarp halves are cut out, but the sewing and finishing still need to happen!

    Looking for $50 Shipped

    What is the Ridgeline length after hemming do you expect?

    I would expect ridgeline post-hemming to come in at just under 11'

    Don't have any handy, but the cat cuts are probably about 4-5 inches at the deepest

    I don't have space to roll the whole thing out in my dorm room, nor was I really able to pull it taut, but this should give a decent idea:

    Where did you purchase the fabric? Is this your first tarp? Your first thread injecting project?

    I am really tempted, but I am afraid this might be a little bit too short for an 11 foot hammock.

    Depends on the hammock and its ridgeline. My DIY gathered end 11-footer does fine under my MacCat Standard (10'6" RL).
