    Very nice looking tarps! This is one project I haven't tried yet, but I definitely want to soon! How did you water proof your seems? I'm very interested in trying my hand at one of these!
    Two heads are good, three are great, but all heads at hammockforums is the best case scenario!

    Looks great! I'm looking forward to trying my hands at making a DIY tarp. Any words of wisdom or "in hindsight" thoughts for those of us who have yet to try it?

    That color looked familiar. I have 8 yards on the way to make my own tarp. Hope it turns at as well yours did!

    It's great fabric! The hardest part is laying it out and marking your cat cuts. After that it flies by

    What weight silpoly did you use? Also, please tell us what is the trick you discovered to help you pattern off or mark off your cat cuts? Looks like those could be a bear to do?
