Ok. So I'm looking at making myself a nice summer tarp. Lighter and a little smaller than my DD 4x4 (which I really like for nasty cold weather or hanging over two hammocks ) I've been checking out materials I can obtain locally and it looks like it will be a coated nylon (the name of the coating escapes me at the moment). So my question is what do most people recommend doing with the edge of the tarp? I was thinking of something like a finished grosgrain (or some other material) edge which would surely look pretty but I'm thinking it would have a different stretch factor than the main body of the tarp. Do most people just fold and hem? Is that strong enough?
Thanks
