    Hex tarp needed - who has fast availability?

    I love my hennessy hex tarp but its too heavy and about a foot too long (12 ft ridgeline). Does anyone know a silnylon hex tarp of 11 ft ridgeline than I could order tomorrow (or soon) and get in about a week or so? Target weight is under a pound or thereabouts.

    I've been checking the cottage vendors tonight but those that post expected delivery times that I checked all will take too long. Wilderness Logics big daddy tarp is pretty close to what I want but they dont post expected delivery times.

    Check with Paul & Missy at UGQ, I have a hangar 12 and love it, the Winter Dream has doors or have one custome made. Silpoly is also available, great workmanship.

    Wilderness logics has always been able to get me a tarp out in a day. There are other great tarp manufacturers here but wilderness logics is always the fastest and they ave the best value.

    I think you missed the point. I need it for a trip in about 10 days. I ordered a quilt from them and got it a little early but it was nearly a month waiting time.

    Dutchware also has a stock of the WL Tadpole. It's a very popular tarp that is light weight at only 11.5oz for the 11ft version. It is also very versatile, with optional add on doors to turn it from a 3 season tarp to a 4 season tarp. This was my first tarp, and I used it in some heavy snows, and rains, as well as warmer summer conditions.

    Dutchware is also known for quick shipping times. He keeps stock of his products, so they are ready to go when you click the pay now button.

    I'd contact Jared at Simply Light Designs, he's had a very fast turnaround time when I've purchased from him.

    I've ordered a couple times from Jared at SLD...fast should be his middle name. Usually 1 day +actual ship time.

    I've bought from Dutch before and you're right, he's fast. Tadpole is a little under 8 feet wide and my Hennessey hex is a little over 9 (maybe 9.5) if I remember right. The tadpole doesn't seem wide enough for me since I like sitting up under the tarp in porch mode. That doesnt mean I'm right it just means that cutting a foot off of both sides of what I'm used to and like doesn't seem like it would appeal to me to save about 2 ounces as compared to the big daddy. The Hennessey I have is about a foot too long and very heavy since its urethane coated polyester instead of silnylon.

    +1 on the speeds of these vendors. How quick they responded with order confirmation and shipping was almost scary

    +1 on wilderness logics. If I remember correctly, they had my tarp to me in about 3 days and it had added options. The tadpole is a grate little tarp.
