I’m in the market for a specific tarp; a Six Moons Design Deschutes style tarp (slightly smaller/shorter) but made with MEMBRANE silpoly (https://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/membrane-silpoly?avad=189374_bf403c5d).
If you have experience working with this, and creating tarps, let’s talk.

EDIT: Their Diamond Solo looks like the closest match in my opinion. http://www.bearpawwd.com/tents/diamond.php

Aug 14, 2017 at 4:55 pm #3484961Yeah I’m not wanting from Bear Paw; and their sil is way heavier and more expensive than SMD.
Aug 14, 2017 at 5:18 pm #3484973What kind of time frame are you looking for? I made a Cuben tent with a similar design and still have my templates. I might be able to help you out but it might take me a month to get it done as I have a lot going on right now. Feel free to check out photos of my design. Note that I have no idea how it stacks up with a deschutes in terms of dimensions as I drew this up myself based on what I wanted. I did take inspiration from the deschutes design but didn’t aim to make an exact clone.

Aug 14, 2017 at 5:20 pm #3484976I have worked with the .93 silpoly quite a bit so I’m comfortable working with it. Albeit it’s slippery as snot and can be tough but it’s nice material.
