I find the grosgrain border totally unnecessary. Just do a simple roll hem around the entire perimeter. I’ve been able to pitch that tarp quite taught with no concerns regarding strength.

Yep.. 1/4” rolled hem. No border on any of mine either.

Well took 4 days but she's done - will send some pics after I have time to string it up. Not happy with Ripstop by the roll though. I thought when it said kit and pre cut that I was getting a set up sent that was ready to sew. Only thing pre cut was the reinforcement pieces which would have been easy to cut. 26' of fabric wasn't something I planned on having to wrestle with. Took 2 days just to work out the cuts - specifically the cat cuts but love the fabric, and they got it shipped in no time.

Hey there! Just wanted to reach out and clarify the pre-cut situation. We offer tarp kits as both a regular kit (to save yourself some extra cash you would cut it yourself), or a fully pre-cut version. We do include pre-cut reinforcements on all tarp kits just to save the customer time.
Checking your order history, it looks like you selected the regular kit, which wouldn't have included pre-cut tarp panels. Hope that helps, and sorry for any confusion. Looks great btw!
Yeah I was looking through some stuff and it looks like I made a mistake when I ordered. I've also entered a question or comment or whatever on the website about this. Again I think you're a fantastic company it just was a bummer that I got the wrong kit had to spend a lot of time cutting it but I'll put a video up I'll show you what it looks like I'm real happy with it.

I have only used the "Kit" that contains the components for a tarp. For me the first cutting is the most stressing. I do not have a table long enough to lay out the full length. Once I have the first tarp length cut, the rest is easy to cut (as long as the cat and pups are locked out). The second challenge is getting the ridgeline nice and pretty. I stopped binding the edges, it just seemed to add weight and cost. I use a little extra reinforcement for the ridgeline.

Well as promised she's done and seam sealed. Well mostly done - waiting on some tent poles that will mount internally at the door tie out point in middle to add space under it. Will string up the hammock after diy seam seal cures and get final pics of the new diy hammock and diy winter tarp.
Thanks RSBTR and hf.net gang for help and support. I think I will type up some clearer directions and submit to RSBTR.

ETA: How deep were your main and secondary cat-cuts on that tarp?
