New DIY Tarp: The Fortress!

[Klaussinator]

Dude's got skillz!!!

Have never seen an off-center ridge line, but I like it. Makes sense because I always set up with one side as my "view" and the other side is just closed up.

Very nice work on the tie-out points.

I love the multi Ridgeline design aswell! What a huge jump in versatility.

Really well done.

Nice job. Since I watch your weather coming my way I understand!! ;-)

Yeah, around here you've got just as much chance of the precipitation coming at you horizontally as vertically.

Really nice job! She's a beaut! Kinda reminds me of Gargoyles tarps with many ways to hang it! A bigger version of course!

Gargoyle makes some really nice, versatile tarps thats for sure.

Thanks Klauss, the whole tarp is really asym, but can fold back to a rectangle and be pitched A-frame style too. I tend to pitch it lean-to style more often than not. I'm quite chuffed with the tie-outs as well.

It has been a pretty versatile tarp, but I credit Col. Townsend Whelen with the design, I just tweaked it a bit.

Thanks a lot GregB.

Very nice job. Professional looking. But the only thing I don't get is, what's holding the outside corners out on the back wall?
What am I missing?

That's awesome, O'Leary!

It's nice to have just what you need, eh?

Great design, and beautiful work, Red. Okay if I hang in the lee of your setup?

I think you're referring to the wind that is billowing it out, I had it pitched toward the trail out of convenience rather than away from the wind.

That's awesome, O'Leary!

Thanx. It sure is nice, I always feel very secure in there in the worst of weather.

Thanks a lot WV, you're welcome to hang in the lee anytime.

Nice work! Looks like you need to put some of your sewing skills on the hem of your shorts though.

Those are my favorite shorts, but they're getting a little long in the tooth, they may be beyond my ability to save
