Sounds like a fun project! Good luck! Send me photos when you get it all done.

I’m currently designing a frame of vertical poles for my back garden (I live in a block of apartments and they are a bit an*l here about what you are allowed to do in your garden – they wont allow me to build a professional lean-to shelter so I can BBQ in bad weather) Basically I am building a structure that can hold a 3x3m tarp when needed and remove when needed – I like to ensure double uses for my gear so, I dont use a 3mx3m tarp as of yet, mine is a 4.5m x 3m and is a little large for my solo hammock trips. If all goes well I will buy a 3×3 which will double as a camping hammock when needed, I didn’t have the time to try calculate the diagonal distance between two corners when pitching it in a diamond setting.
Thanks again, nice site, I will be visiting regularly!
Cheers

An 8×10 or 9×9 would be good. Go Outfitters tarp is pretty versatile for a good price and has lots of tie outs.

As usual, your articles find me just when I need them. I have an asym diamond tarp (on your earlier recommendation), but the one I have does not have intermediate tie out points. I also have a hex tarp with doors (on almost everyone else’s recommendation). I’m thinking I need something more versatile for trips where I’m likely to camp a day or two above treeline or at the beach/desert, so something that will work for a hammock, but also on the ground. 10×10 seems too big for me. I realize some of these pitches won’t work with smaller tarps, but what do you think of a 7×9, 8.5×8.5 or 8×10 tarp?

Is my only other option silnyl? Hoping to find something cheaper than silnyl.
