7.5×9 DCF Flat Tarp [166g / 5.85oz]

Made and finally tested a 7.5×9 0.51oz/yard DCF tarp. Final weight is 166g or 5.85oz.

I bonded the panels with Loctite U-09FL, used mostly DCF for all the lineloc and guyout points (thanksfor the tip John), and overall I love the thing.

Here’s a link to my instagram story where I walk through most of the process of creating this tarp on video:https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17866726708314965/

I also made a DCF / mesh bug pyramid with a splash proof front to make this setup even more weather resistant. I’ll post that soon.

  1. That looks great! How did you pitch the tarp in the snow? It looks like a mid style pitch, but I can’t tell from this angle.

    1. Sort of, it’s a leaning A frame basically, where I pitched one end to the ground completely and then pitched the middle of the other end up to a pole, with the two corners pitched as close to the ground as possible. It was insanely windy.
