In spring I made my first DIY tarp, a lightweight hex tarp that I was really pleased with (I also made my own hammock, UQ and TQ). But I am already now starting to think about making another tarp with doors to use after summer.
Reflecting on my experience my first tarp, I found attaching the reinforcements at each tie-out really time consuming and a bit of a pain. I was wondering if anyone had ever tried making a tarp without any reinforcement panels at tie out points? Maybe just one layer of fabric is enough, do we all just add them out of habit? I would be really interested to hear what you think.
I will be using 2oz silnylon.
