WB Cloudburst tarp: Is it necessary for WBRR?

[Bic]

On my phone and didn't read all the other responses.... But I use the big daddy tarp with the longer ridge line and have been in some big storms with no problem. In my opinion, the extra big tarps are not necessary.

The superfly is 132" along the ridge and a good bit longer than that along the ground edge with doors stretched out, whereas the cloudburst is 132" along the ridge and ground edge...so the superfly is a good bit longer along the ground edge if you count the doors as part of the length measurement, with the doors pinned up under the tarp and not in use, the superfly is almost a rectangle but slightly hex.

As for the Cloudburst, the MJ door kit should fit it i believe.

Good to know. A Superfly then sounds like it's going to have a better ability to close up the doors then over a Cloudburst if you added corner tieouts to the Cloudburst as the Superfly is longer along the bottom edge than the Cloudburst.

Plus there's another option mentioned. MJ doors on the Cloudburst. Cool idea.

I use clip on pullouts to get the tarp pulled out at exactly the point where the spreader bar ends contact the tarp.
