Does anyone know of a credible site that sells Cuben fiber tarps big enough for the blackbird XLC?

I would think that the Hammock Gear Winter Palace or CF Tarp with door would work. Is there a specific dimension that you are worried about the fit for?
All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident
I do not have a cuben tarp from them, but their gear is top notch.

Any tarp with an 11' ridgeline will comfortably fit over the XLC. The Blackbird may be 11' long too, but with the 30 degree sag, it will fit just right.
Always last to the camp site.
You can order the HG tarps with a 10ft, 11ft or 12 ft ridgeline. I have several 11 ft hammocks that fit under the 12ft cuben tarp with plenty of room to spare. Its a great tarp and the 12ft weights 8+ ounces.

I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
Wow that was a lot of great help. I didn't think about that fact of the 30° hang 11 ft ridge line should work then. Thank you!
I found this video that also reinforces what you all said.

ZPacks makes hammock tarps from Cuben, too. I don't own their tarps, but a couple of other pieces of equipment and they're top notch. They also do custom work. Just contact them.
Hammock Gears standard Cuban fiber tarp with doors is what I used for a year while I had my blackbird XLC. Worked fine and hung in a lot of rain. Actually had more splash from the shorter sides than any length issues.
