11 oz. , 8.5' long by plenty wide. i bogarted some other designs and made a modified flat roof that tapers at the foot. the foot has a small beak that has been modified from the pic to provide more slope and not be so straight back.

i wanted to be able to sit up and cook under it, even if i had to stake both long sides to the ground. the height at the head is around 3.5 '

a carbon fibre arrow shaft ( .2 oz, guy charged me $2 ) is used as a spreader at the head.

my summer solo set-up is now finished: homemade ray-way quilt ( 60 deg ) on insulmat max thermo mattress, both inside a ti goat bivy, all under the above pictured tarp. total weight : 4 lbs, 2 oz.
i know i could drop big weight ( like almost 1 lb. ) by changing my air mat but forget it; i sleep crappy without it.
