    i feel like this is a problem with my new tarp... can I get some help?

    Well I didn't notice the problem Intel today when I was outside during the day I notized the four main tie out points on my tarp the stitching around the reenforcement is about to compleetly rip off the whole tie out...
    used this tatp maybe 12 nights or so most of which in my backyard so it's still really new just got its little while ago it's my UGQ winter dream tarp... this was already my favorite piece of gear flawless stitching looks amazing! but this is a problem... I have a picture of it I'm trying to figure out how to post it on here.
    any ideas...?[AIMG][XFLOAT][AIMG][XFLOAT][/XFLOAT][/AIMG][/XFLOAT][/AIMG]

    Looks like it is super tight in the picture. Perhaps too tight me thinks. Can you get a good pitch without over cranking on things? And that's a pole mod of some sort?
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    Is it possible the pole is the cause. I don't know, I'm just trying to help you get the cause figure out. Without the pole does it pitch tight and not looked as stressed?

    Send an email to UGQ, they have great customer service iv'e been told and will surely know why your having this issue.attach your pic to the email.
    Hard to tell from the picture but it does look like it's pulled alittle too tight.

    This is a result of how the tarp is reinforced. Basically the reinforcement area is small, and it causes higher stress at the stitch line vs a larger reinforcement. This stress is stretching the fabric.

    If this is cause for concern or not, I wont say, but just because the seam holes are stretching out doesn't necessarily indicate it's about to fail.

    I completely agree with this, although I can't tell from your photo is the fabrics threads have broken or are displaced.

    I would contact UGQ and see if they will retrofit larger reinforcing patches.

    I still have a good amount of give in my tarp tenssioner and it's not pitched in a tight storm mode either that's why is at its not stretched to far. See that was my thought about the small reenforcement as well but this is also my first tarp using pile mods so I'm not sure if that would effect the street on it or not. Just contacted them waiting for a reply atm.
    I love the tarp I just want this situation fixed I don't Wana be out in a storm and the hole tie out point just rip off at some ppint so trying to get it fixed before it could rip.

    Paul and Missy own both dream hammock as well as UGQ right? I have had some recent things worked on ontoy dream hammock shipped it to them they fixed it and even sent it back with some new woopie slings! (Mine were old and fraying haven't had the extra $ to replace them yet) if both of these company's are ran buy the same people then I have no doubt that my tarp will be fixed up!
