    After we spent 6 hours making our first prototype for our soon to be company/project, here is the end result:
    5.9 oz in stuff sack
    8'4×6'8"x4'9"

    If anyone has any interest please let me know, I'll be out of town for awhile leaving late tonight…

    Very nice, what kind of price are you talking? I already ordered a MLD Grace Solo, Silnylon tarp at 8.8 oz for $90.00

    If I would have seen this sooner? I probably would have ordered one from you, if the price is right?

    MLD's Grace Solo Spintex tarp is $150.00

    Price yours at $100.00 and you will probably sell a ton of them?

    Looks very sharp and neat, and I'm researching my tarp purchase now.. Budget is about $60 and leaning towards a silnylon military poncho; snaps, grommets, hood for use as a uh.. poncho.
    How can your tarp have three dimensions? I assume that a typical pitched height.. Then the second dimension is the pitched width and not the flat width? Please clarify. Thanks.

    Brett it looks like a tapered tarp so the 3rd dimension is the width at the shorter end. At least that's my guess.

    A lot of the competitors that have similar tarps out have a cantanary cut in them.
    I'm not sure who you're aiming for to buy the tarp, but it would have to be a price low enough to lure away the ones who may be willing to pay the extra $$$ for the cantanary cut.
    Good luck!
