FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

I don't know what you have to have different for a bridge hammock, but it seems you need central, mid-fabric pull-out to keep it wider. John over at BPWD makes custom everything, as well as the standard stuff, so if you can't find a standard CF tarp that would work give him a call or send an email. I haven't used him, but others rave about him and the quality and design of his work.

Myself I would get the HG winter palace with the pullouts spaced for the ridge runner and loops attached underneath the tarp to attach the bugnet, all things they will do on request at no extra charge. I had the standard HG CF with doors and found it didn't provide enough coverage width wise.

Shugemery poked hole in his cuben tarp. Expensive tarp.

You can patch it with duct or gorilla tape though........Originally Posted by Kevinslotten

Cuben is easy to fix
If you are set on cuben, I would second the HG winter palace. I sold all my cuben tarps as the weight savings was not worth the hassle for me, I love the cloudburst for the RidgeRunner, IMO when you get Warbonnet's stock options the ease and comfort can not be beat, even when factoring the weight difference.
I have a SimplyLightDesigns 13 ft. Winter Haven (SilPoly) that Jared (the owner) moved the pull outs down and out a bit for my Warbonnet Ridgerunner and I absolutely love it. From order to delivery was 3 days.

Just wondering......what are the hassles involved with a Cuben tarp?

I don't think there are any. I've been using a cuben fiber tarp for four years. Usually you just hear the really old complaints about "it's loud in the rain" or "it lets too much sun in." I personally don't notice cuben fiber being much louder than silnylon, and I certainly am not a midday lounger so the "too much sun" idea doesn't register with me. Cuben fiber is easier to repair than other tarps, and you can hardly notice a repair was made.
