    need instructions for grizz beaks

    Does anyone know where I can find a good set of plans to make grizz beaks for a tarp. I'm sure there is a great thread and video, and step by step tutorial that I am just not seeing.

    Thanks for the help in advance, HF

    Here is the list from my saved threads. Obviously Grizz's thread would be the place to start

    I would Highly recommend that you make a trial set with a cheap drop cloth or bed sheet for your tarp, hung in its typical pitch.
    My first set ended up with loo long bottom legs. Easily fixed by just tying the corner in a knot, but would have been avoided wtih a $2 drop cloth mock up. The second set fit much better after adjustments - that's another good tip - complete 1 end first, before cutting the second set so you can make any adjustments.
    They work great, and I really like the extra room/vestibule space they create at the end of the hammock. Down side is my edge wtih the beaks weighs as much as my Superfly
