    Asym DIY Tarp

    Ok we are WAY beyond stuff sacks and tablecloths now! Thought I would make a Hennessy style asym tarp out of some leftover PU coated 1.9 Rip-stop. I am learning with every project I tackle and every seam gets better and better. Would not have the confidence to tackle this without the inspiration garnered from this site!

    The nitty:
    Yes it is ridiculously heavy for the coverage provided.
    Seams are sealed with Permatex Flowable
    Wish I would have added D-Rings or least mitten hooks to the Ridgeline tabs as opposed to temporary 550 loops, S-biners and Prussiks
    This was more about overcoming fear of the sewin.... errrr THREAD INJECTOR than a totally awesome piece of gear ( pretty happy with it regardless)
    Probably get doused in a deluge but it seems sufficient for a quick shower or light mist

    Very well done. You've made a great looking tarp!

    I've actually got materials on the way right now to construct an Asym tarp as well. Hopefully I'll have some time in the next couple of weeks to knock it out.

    Glad to see the diy bug has bitten you as well. Enjoy it!

    It's not survival gear, it's just a bunch of work
