    12 x 10 Silpoly Tarp

    Hello all. Just finished a new tarp in coyote brown. Its a 12 x 10 (11' 11" x 9' 11" actual). 8 yards Silpoly from Kyle. Has 2.2mm yellow zing-it for lines (5 ft for sides with line locks and 12 ft for each end. 3/4" Beastee D D-rings all around with 3/4" metal rings for the ends of the grossgrain ridgeline. Pulled nice and tight. Has 54" poles for the pole mod to spread it out for my bridge.

    Took about 7 hours with a lunch break in between. Very easy to make tarp - the silpoly material already had the rough edges cut off the edges from RSBTY, so it was an easy cut and hem job with clean rolled edges.

    I'm not a fan of the lighter brown hues, but the completed project looks great! Heck I even think you work makes that color look good.
    Very nicely done!

    Very nice. How did you do pullouts? They look pretty small

    Thank you Eidson! I like the drab earth colors and this disappears in the woods and works well in the desert. The rectangular design configures all different ways. Oh, and its very easy to make.

    Measured 39" from the top edge and 25" down. I've made plenty of tarps with these pullouts with no failures yet.
