Hi folks,
Continuing my DIY adventures. We have a bunch of snow falling so I have nowhere to be.

I have the parts cut for the DIY Gear Supply plans for a hex tarp. I've sewn the ridgeline edges together with a 1/4" seam.

I'm going to use the grosgrain/Warbonnet method for the ridgeline. My first question is what should be my order of operation going forward to build the best tarp?

Also, do I need reinforcements at the ridgeline ends with this method or just the extra grosgrain as a tieout?

I'm set on the grosgrain idea and realize everyone doesn't agree with that way of doing things. I've not looked at any of these tarps in person so looking for advice.


As with any good build thread... Let's start the pictures as I wait for help, haha!

Laid out before trimming the selvedge.
