Hello all,
I am in the process of making a single hopped Cuben tent.
I have already ordered the carbon pole and will be getting the Cuben in a few weeks.
I saw a few posts out there from other projects using a .33 ounce Cuben with a $13 a yard cost.
Does anyone know where to get the .33 ounce Cuben at a cheaper cost than the $25 at Quest Outfitters???
This tent, (or full protection tarp), will have a 9' long hoop that will give you a 42" wide and 42" high center with 27.5 squar feet of floor space.
I am going to bring it to the ground at both ends with a 2' width at the ends and a 10' overall length, but have a line going down the centers that will hold up the center a few inches for moister control.
I am going to have a door on each side with netting as well.
The bottom will be extended all around to act as the ground cloth so 1 Polycryo Ground Cloth will be sufficient to cover the rest of the ground.
The side extensions will allow you to pitch it wider to fit 2.
It just won't be fully protected with the sides pitched out to the 4'
The only down side is to have it fully staked with the doors staked, it will take 10 stakes to have that happen.
3 on each end, 2 for the hoop, and 2 for the doors.
Total weight should be???
I'll keep you up to date.
