I have built a new large tarp to cover my hammock. It is like having my hammock hung in a tent. Magic's tarp

I like it! Keeps that wind from coming up underneath too. I have a first generation superfly and I don't have good door coverage. This thing looks solid like a tent. Great for the shoulder seasons.

What did all the materials cost you? Do you manually seal the seams when finished sewing?

Nice rig!

I made a semi-rectangular tarp from XL silpoly last year, for when I'm not going light, and that extra room sure is nice on weather days! Looks like your pole mods really open it up, too.

Question: do you have the ends marked so you know which way the 45deg side will go when you hang it?

I bought the material while it was on sale for $5/ yard. Three days later it was $9/yard. There is 11 yards of fabric and about $20 in other things. I will seal the center seam. That seam needs to be folded in the downhill direction so water flows over it rather than making a dam.

Not yet but I will. I have different colored straps on my hammock ends but haven’t come up with a method to mark the tarp yet. Got any good suggestions. I am thinking a little piece of grosgrain (leftovers) tied to one end.
