    The same goes for one of Jared's tarps from SLD - he will space the poles to match the spreader bars on the RidgeRunner. That being said, if I had it do do over, I would order all 3 poles to give you more options to which poles you want to use. I just got the 2 end poles on my 13' Wind Haven, but there have been times that I wish that I had ordered all 3 like I did on my 12' Winter Haven.

    If you’re getting the 13’ superfly, do yourself a favor and have them add tieouts in the middle of the side walls for a little extra support. I didn’t and mine could use em

    Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't the Cloudburst be the best option for the Ridgerunner (DCF aside), since it is designed for it?

    The 13’ superfly is also designed for the RR but with doors. Panel pullouts are specific to the RR, also has rings under the ridge line for the bugnet tieouts.

    Yup. They are placed wider apart so the pull outs are near-adjacent to the spreader bars.

    I would X2 going with a center tie-out if you're going for the 13'er. The superfly certainly won't disappoint!

    I have a 12 foot SimplyLightDesigns Winter Haven for my RidgeRunner and I would strongly encourage center tie outs as this much tarp is like a kite in the wind and it would help hold it off the hammock during high wind events.
