Diamond shaped tarps????

[optimator]

I have the Claytor diamond fly that came with my hammock. I don't particularly care for it. No real reason, I just like my MacCat & Superfly better.

Yeah, your right on the cat cuts not being necessary, but.....like you said I will do a very gentle cut just to see what difference, if any, it will have.

The SG diamond tarps have a psuedo cat cut. This is done by changing the angle where the bottom triangle is attached. This allows a taut pitch.

I have used my 8x10 golite tarp on the diamond in some pretty nasty wet weather and was well protected. I really really like the fact that you just have two tie downs instead of four. Ok, I'm lazy!

I just bought a 9.5'x9.5' chinook tarp from http://www.sonomaoutfitters.com/ista...=6&id=1101!025

I'm new to the hammock camping thing, next weekend I'll be trying it out. Set it up in the back yard. Seems really nice for the money.

I ordered one this morning...same day shipping...gotta love that.

So what would be the best sil diamond shape tarp?
