Ok folks I am about to take the dive and buy a cuben made tarp. But before I spend my precious dollars I want to pick ye brains <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I have "cat" tarps and they are nice but limited in their pitch options. I like the versatility of flat tarps (5x8) but getting them picthed tight sometimes can be an issue. I would lke to hear your opionions on the matter. And is a 5x8 (I have been playing around with this configuration in just a blue poly tarp) better or is a 6x8 better. I am having it "custom" made so I can have what ever siz or shape I want. And for those of you out there that say just do it yourself, I have done the math work and beleive it or not it is going to be significantly less to have it made for me than to do it myself. Thanks so much for your advice.
