    Great work - I'm looking at getting hold of some material to make my own too.

    Struggling to find sil over here, but am toying with the idea of getting some coated ripstop and making my first one from that...

    But you've done a really great job(as usual)i wish i had your diy skills. That tarp is going to be one sweet hammock home in the wintertime!.... Awesome

    Edit: So it is you Brit's that are hogging all the good weather, we have had the worst summer for a long time over here!
    I ALSO thought everyone who bought cuben this year (myself included) was about to be reeeaaal upset - due to some new 1.5oz super-super-ultralight tarp.

    All I can say is WOW. Now THATS a tarp. How did you sew the tie outs on top of the ridge?

    Nice job turminator. Well done on the sewing job and everything. Even choice of color for tarp and line lol. Nice work.

    BTW your llama thing has nice hair and nice teeth. Also looks kinda like my old 7th grade science teacher. HAH no joke either! Just give the llama glasses.

    There is some silnylon 30D on sale from Ebay, 1.80 a foot I believe.

    Thanks Raskusdrotti
    This came from Here
    It doesn't look like they have it now. Cost £2.50/m.

    Google online fabrics, theres pages of vendors with some nice stuff tucked away.

    My fave is fabrics n stuff, I use them lots.

    Glad you like Bill

    The RL tie outs were reinforced with a rectangular patch of the same nylon, then seam sealed. The poly bias tape was stitched to this in a box-x pattern, with an extra line of sewing through the ridge seam for extra-strength.

    I think that ridge tie-outs are a must have for coated fabrics, so the RL doesn't wear through the coating.

    @Deadphans

    Thanks muchly

    LOL on you science teacher. I had one similar.

    You have made me a job now, have to photoshop some glasses on
