Rectangular Spintex Tarp

PostedMar 1, 2008 at 1:17 pm

I'm looking for a catenary-cut,close-to rectangular tarp, 8×8 to 10×10 in size, made from Spinntex (for weight savings).

The MLD Hex is close and the price is right, but the 6'6" back and front edges make it a bit restrictive when used as a Baker style kitchen shelter.

Any leads on who to contact?

Thanks

If you don't find one (or it's a little pricey), you can buy Spintex from Thru-hiker.com for just under $16 per yard and sow your own.

Custom sizes and features are availalble. The Spinntex tarps are shipping fast. Call me Monday if you would like.

MLD cleaned them out.

No ship date yet on the next batch.

Plus, SpinnTex has a bit of a learning curve, as does learning catenary curves.

Possible, but not likely here ;-)

Ron – Thanks for the offer.
I'll call Monday.
What you saw is what I want,
… depending on optimized fabric widths etc.
