Has anyone ever put tieouts for doors on a guide gear 12 x 12 tarp. The finished size is about 11'9'"sq. If I put the tieouts 2'6" in from each end that would leave 6'9" at the bottom of the tarp on the sides. Do you think that would work?

I have have to take a closer look at one of mine. I thought there were already tie outs on the side. I added two ridgeline tie outs to mine so far and the door option will be the next thing to add. I will watch this thread and see how you make out.
You should be already good to go (other than adding center tie outs) Like these:

In quiet covers, cool and gray.

The GG 12x12 already has tie outs that work well for doors.
I thought smaller doors might work better and add interior floor space, so I added new tie outs 2'-10" in from each corner.
I need to play with it some more, but my first impression is that the smaller doors don't close up well at all.
I suggest you try it with the existing tie outs before you create even smaller doors than I did.
Let us know how it works out.
The photo is before the added tie outs.

I just thoutght the doors would be too big. I have added the tie outs to hang it rectangular. I was thinking of new tieouts for smaller doors. I think now I will just hang it as is and see how I like it.
Thanks for4 the pics. It looks like it will work fine as it is.

When I did mine I used cheap tarp clips from Home Depot to figure out where to put the tie outs.
