Good morning. I have been thinking about replacing the rain fly on my Copper Spur UL1 with a homemade 0.67oz. camo DCF fly. Why? I think it would be fun, and I love the idea of a camo tent. The small weight savings would be a bonus. I’m not interested in any currently-available tents that can be purchased new. However, based on research here and around the internet, it sounds like it’s not that easy because of DCF’s lack of stretch. It looks like almost all DCF shelters have more simple geometry than the multi-paneled dome-like shape of my CS fly. Is this a deal breaker for this project? Will it be a disaster? My plan of attack was to recreate each individual panel of the existing fly in DCF, then sew/tape or bond the panels together into the exact same shape as the original, then to attach the hardware. Again, this project is mainly for fun/challenge, but if it’s a fool’s errand, can someone let me know? Thanks!
