    Who are our Sil-Poly Tarp vendors?

    FYI......I DO NOT DIY.... I have no sewing machine, I have no interest and I will happily support our cottage industries.

    Other than Paul at UGQ are there any other vendors that do Sil-Poly tarps (I am not too particular about which kind, I have a Membrane one right now that i like the material on).

    I really want a 12'x8' or 11'8" slightly cat-cut tarp with pullouts. WL Big-Daddy size in this material would be ideal. Right now I have an AHE Toxaway (my main tarp), a WL Big Daddy with a add on door (going to a friend in need) and a Mountain Wilderness Monster Tarp (Which I use for rectangular tarp duties and hopefully some Winter Camping). I may end up getting one from Paul but I just wanted to see what else was out there. Any and all recommendations are appreciated (but again...I have no interest in DIY).

    Here is my Toxaway with the pull-outs....love this rig but I really am not a huge fan of sil-nylon...I just don't like the feel or how slick it is...Also it seems to hold onto water worse than the poly tarps (I wipe it off but it still gets heavy after hiking a few days).

    Simply Light Designs is amazing for custom work and the turn around time is usually a few days. I just got a fully custom silpoly tarp from Rick at Cave Creek Hammocks (Randerson on here) that is beautiful and exactly what I wanted.

    What's your opinion of Cave Creek products and service? I've been looking at his quilts as well as tarps.

    I have no knowledge of Cave Creek's quality, but i've seen many great reviews and the products they show built for their customers do look really impressive.
