A Frame like tarp with doors

That looks great, good job! How does the pole connect to the tarp at the front?

There’s a d ring attached that fits my pole but it’s a bit large so the pole extends  a bit outside.  Once I switch to an eyelet or what ever it’s called the pole won’t extend so much and I can put a flap on top of the vent that the pole is now sticking out of.

Great shelter!

I have been looking to build one very similar.  I like the 2 pole designs for strength.  Another similar design would be the Borah gear Boragami.

Good work!

That’s awesome. I just made a flat tarp and really wanted to do a zipped vestibule like this but couldn’t figure out how to make it where it would hold the pole but still zip all the way open. I gave up but yours looks great!

Looks great! What material did you use? How much does it weigh? Is the foot end open?

Very slick design overall, and a nice color to boot!  :)

Looks like Green Tea 1.1 Silpoly to me. Great material if so.

I have been away planning my hike but it’s sil poly 1.1 Green Tea.  I don’t have an accurate scale but my bathroom scale says its around .75 pounds.  The back is covered like the front and zipped.  It can open up all the way with a separating zipper.  However this leaves a small opening at the peak and it will require an extra flap to make it fully rain proof.  With a smaller eyelet the pole won’t extend so far and the flap can be small.  However, I don’t care too much about the rain cuz I just sleep away from the doors, so I might leave the flaps off.  Going to test it a bit then see if that pole peak interface works.
