SLD Winter Haven, UGO Winter Dream or WB Superfly?

[AngryDaddyBird]

Oh boy counting the days! Just got shipping notice for my WBBB XLC and have a Hammock showed up today. Nit home until tomorrow but looking forward to hanging again!

I ordered a SLD Winter Haven late this afternoon (Friday) After a quick flurry of back and forth emails between Jared and myself regarding some customizing issues and fabric choices, tie out location etc.. He said that he would start it this evening and likely ship Monday!
Pretty much instant gratification in the world of custom detail gear manufacturing. At no time did I express any need for speed of any kind.
Side note: I chose a 78" spacing for tie outs/pull outs to help to accommodate the ends of the spreader bars on my WBRR hammock.

Hey did you get your tarp from Jared yet?

Thanks for checking on me.
It sure did. Got it yesterday. This is a great big (13') beauty Foliage Green silpoly Winter Haven. Beautiful work and reinforcement throughout. I asked Jared to do a pole mod inside like another that was pictured. The poles make it balloon out right next to the pull outs, works great and goes in quick and easy. He seam sealed it also.

The fabric material is very nice tough stuff. I think you'd like it.
I got some Dutch Flyz on some zing it for the ridge tie outs (not continuous, continuous tarp ridge line not my cuppa tea). BeastDees at the door hinge corner to set the poles in. Lineloks at the door corners. 78" between the pull outs to match the WBRR spreader bar ends, and they are half way up the sides.

I'm very pleased with it but sleeping nights under my wide open WB Super Fly 'cause 62* is about the lowest overnight low temp right now in the central Alleghenies. I need the extra openess of a smaller tarp

Did your tarp arrive ADB?

He just emailed me. Probably wont ship until monday at the soonest.

I got some inside pole mods to. Just waiting on the poles.
Several other options also. I will update when it arrives.

When you all get the chance, throw out a few pictures. Very interested in the inside poles and detail on the pull-outs. Do the poles go into a pocket and how do you secure the top center? Ribbon ties?

Yes, please. Would really like to see all of these custom details.

I'm unable to load pictures at the moment. But Yes, the poles form a bow from the two "door hinge" bottom corners where the pole ends are inserted into the holes in Beastie Dees set flush with the tarp sides(corners). Ribbon ties do locate them at the peak, so that running diagonally they push the sides out to better allow space for WBRR spreader bar ends. The poles run near but not on the inside of the pull-outs.
I think there is a picture of one made like this in the thread. I'll look for it.

There is a picture of the pole mod in question on Page 4 of this thread posted by Countrybois.

Will do.

Jared said mine should ship monday so when it arrives I will post some pictures. Still waiting on my poles.
