    Asymmetric Single Pole Mod?

    Has anyone made a tarp with asymmetric panel pull outs or pole mods? That is to say one pull out per side with location corresponding to foot box area and head area. My thought was to use a single pole running diagonally over the RL instead of two poles perpendicular to the RL.

    I did a search on here and couldn't find other posts about this. If I missed them, I'd be grateful if you pointed me to them. Thanks.

    We used to make an asym hex tarp. We sold like 2 in 2-3 years.... more work to get set up tight and more fiddle than it was worth. The "foot box" on a hammock does not stick out that much that you really need to think about it in tarp selection or set up.
