    Banyan under a tarp

    Here’s something else I was wondering about the new Banyan—will the double ridgeline and therefore wider bugnet affect how the Banyan fits under a tarp? Will the tarp need to be set higher and/or spread wider to accommodate the wider bug net? I get the tarp will have to set wider to accommodate the hammock’s spreader bars, but the more vertical sides of the bugnet (vs the Ridgerunner’s more peaked shaped from only using a single pull out point) makes me think about how much volume it will require under a tarp.

    I can see how using poles to hold the tarp open wider could do it, but there’s extra weight in those spreader poles.

    Be neat to see some pics of the Banyan under a tarp to see how well it fits.

    I think that the double ridgeline is within the angles that you need to keep with bridge hammock anyway.

    Check out Spiguyvers youtube video at the link below. 35 seconds in you can see the bridge hammock under a dyneema tarp. https://youtu.be/6y32BdvJ1FQ?t=35

    That tarp is the winter palace version which is bigger than the normal cubin fiber with doors they sell.
    Does anyone know for sure if the 11ft version of the cubin fiber with doors works? Spigguyver or Dutch want to chime in?

    I'm going out tomorrow and will take photos of the Banyan with Dyneema tarp, Xenon regular width and xenon wide tarp so everyone can see the difference. I'll have updates tomorrow afternoon

    I have wondered wether Dutches Asym wide tarp may just have enough width coverage for the new Banyan hammock.
    A tarp - Banyan combination for the minimalist shelter set up...

    Did you get a chance to take these pics? I’m trying to decide on a xenon regular or xenon wide tarp and I can’t find a lot of info.

    My Banyon just shipped today. When it gets here I'll try to set it up ASAP. I have an 11' Mountain Fly which I'm hoping to be able to use. I'll try it first also for just to know. That was ordered for a gathered end hammock Just before the Banyon's came back. I'll probably try my Xenon tarp too just to see how it looks. I'll let Ya'll know how they fit.
