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?
Jun 27, 2007 at 6:16 am #1393608Looks 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.Jun 27, 2007 at 6:20 am #1393610Brett it looks like a tapered tarp so the 3rd dimension is the width at the shorter end. At least that's my guess.
Jun 30, 2007 at 8:05 am #1393993That's correct, 8'4" long, 6'8" wide at the front, 4'9"; wide in the back
Jun 30, 2007 at 1:47 pm #1394023Looks good! What's the price?
Jul 1, 2007 at 11:18 am #1394075We're not sure on the price yet, I'll get back to you as soon as we get an idea
Jul 1, 2007 at 11:32 am #1394076A 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! -
