DJ2 member Registered: 01/06/02 Posts: 1348 Loc: Seattle, WA	Good points on the bias stretch. I made a shelter out of a blue tarp (which doesn't stretch as much as nylon on the bias). It set up nice and taut. When I replicated the shelter in nylon I had an entirely different animal with stretches and sags in new places.
