Mntman,
I second the idea of using a pre-made tent fly. You can get one at any REI scratch-n-dent sale and experiment till your hearts content...and it will only cost ya' around$30.00, not $275.00 ! Also, i am hearing the shelter has some quality control issues:

I love the ultra-light weight, combined with roominess.However, the shelter didn't survive setting up. I received one last week, set it up in the back yard, and the pressure of the tent poles on the corner grommets tore the seam. So, the [...]sent me another. I set it up inside, and the corner fabric tore, again where the pole was putting pressure on the gromme


Hope this helps.
