    anyone know if the Pre-Cut HEX12 UL Tarp Kit by RSBTR is large enough for 2 hammocks tandem?

    Planning to tandem hang with my daughter and may make the Hex12 UL tarp from RSBTR (https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collect...nt=25634898689). But not sure it is large enough to hang over the two hammocks? (connected by tandem bars)

    If not, any suggestions? I would like it to be light weight as I will be carrying most of our equipment and I would also use it as a group tarp when I take a group out on weekend backpack trips.

    Thanks!

    The tarp looks to be just under 10 feet wide if you check the specs.
    Get a good pitch and decent weather you should be OK. But this is coming from a solo hanger so bear that in mind.

    I had two of those.. they are huge. Far larger than I needed.

    I'd be guessing, but I can see two hammocks under one of those using a wide pitch. Add an internal pole and it becomes the size of a circus tent.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    It definitely is big enough but be prepared to hang it higher and wider than you are expecting. Putting 2 hammocks with a spreader bar is pretty wide. If you have nice conditions it is great because you can hang it super wide with porch mode if you want. But if you need to tighten it up, getting around the hammocks is very tight quarters. Internal poles help but it is still tight, especially on the head end. With the spreader bar you need room for the spreader to pivot and arc up and away when one person gets out of the hammock.
