    closing ends on Hennesy Hex fly

    Looking for advice for closing the ends with my hex fly. I planned on sewing loops abot 24" from the corners. The fly has 12' ridgeline and 10' sides. Any suggestions/changes I should consider?
    Thanks in advance.

    I own a Hennessy Hex, and can't see how loops would do anything to make the tarp ends close.

    If you want to get detachable doors, check out 2QZQ.

    I cut the wings off an old kelty noah 9'. Cut a slit for suspension to run through and sewed flaps on both sides of slit to reduce wind as much as possible. Tarp made 2 of these, gave one to my buddy who has HH hex as well. Just a big triangle that will cover one end of tarp to break the wind.

    Definitely get a grizz beak! I have one I've used on both the hennessy hex, and the hennessy Asym Hex SilNylon versions. It works better on the hex fly, not as finicky.
