This is my first attempt at a tarp that doesn't consist of all 90 angles. 3 yards of seconds silnylon that I cut the corners off of three sides, used two to make the beak. I left the long beak side's corner on so I could have additional foot protection when two slept under it. I have taken it out and it works, flaps a little but never got slapped by the walls or ever bumped them, very satisfied for this 12oz $22 tarp upgrade.
I am posting because I also have two questions i was hoping someone could help me out with. I found a point in the very center back, about 17" high that would tighten out the whole tarp, I haven't done it yet because I enjoy it being as waterproof as it is and don't mind the looseness so far, do you guys have recommendations as to how I should attach a loop onto the back roof?
also, the beak needs to be trimmed to fit, should I cat curve it? will that strain the angle to much where the rope is? or should I go with a flat beak? if cat curve, how much should I curve it?
All feedback is appreciated
