    Experienced cottage vendors make 14x14 tarp

    I know that custom work is time consuming. New patterns must be made. Costly mistakes are more common. Communication takes longer and all this can cause our vendor to lose money.
    I want a 14x14 tarp made with silpoly or xenon. Not sure if they are both same fabrics.
    Maybe this will be a good tarp for car camping and even short mile weekend treks
    I thank you all for your help.

    You don’t have to be crazy to be a hammock camper....
    But it helps!

    In another thread someone recommended DD for bigger tarps.

    Shug suggested CCS (Cooke Custom Sewing). Give Dan a call. I suspect he would do just what you want/need. He's done some terrific custom work for me in the past.

    Walhalla Hammocks and Outdoors can make them as big as you want. We had one of their tarps cover our entire kitchen area at the last hang. [email protected]

    I love Cooke Custom Sewing's Tundra tarps, but they are silnylon and I don't know if Dan works in silpoly.

    The tarp that I use for the Amok Draumr is the Robens 4x4 meter tarp. $110.00 with free shipping to USA.
    HydroTex HD RS, 75D polyester 189T, Ripstop, Fire retardent, 100% polyester
    Hydrostatic Head - 5000 mm

    The tents below are 30D polyester (2017 model), in 2018 Rovbens upgraded tent material to 75D 189 thread count, silicon and polyester urethane.

    https://www.campingworld.co.uk/en/Ro...m/m-25785.aspx

    Here is why I will not use sil-nylon or nylon tents. This has been borne out during my 60-years of backcountry base camping through the Western States, Canada, and Alaska. Form follows function, my 1983 Cherokee carries my loads.



    I also have the Robens Green Castle 6-person tent and use its rain-fly for windy and rainy conditions. Essentially a Hilleberg tunnel-style expedition tent.


    European company with free shipping to the United States. I buy tents and tarp equipment at Campingworld.co.uk
