Tie Outs:

Additional sewn on tie out loops
I can sew on additional reinforced loops anywhere you want. The stitching is taped (no seam sealing needed).

Some common examples include:
-inside the ridge line for hanging bug netting or other items
-outside of the ridge line for hanging the tarp from branches
-additional perimeter tie outs
-tie outs on the walls of the tarp as shown.
-Draw me a picture if you want crazy tie outs!

You will have to let me know where you want them after you order.
Price: $2.00 each  / .02 oz each

Tape on tie out loops
These loops are sewn to patches which have tape adhesive on the back. You can stick them onto your tarp anywhere you want.

The adhesive is not as strong as a loop which is sewn through the tarp, but it can be useful for light duty things such as hanging bug netting if you aren't sure exactly where you want the loops. These can be stuck to the Hexamid shelters or other tents as well.

The color of the patch will match your tarp, not green as shown.

Price: $2.00 each  / .02 oz each
Catenary Arched Ridge Line
An arched ridge line may aid in a taught pitch, but it also limits your set up to an "A-frame" configuration.

Price: $5  / -.1 oz
Trekking Pole Cups
These triangular fabric cups go over the handles of you trekking poles and make propping your tarp up very easy. They can be attached to any tie out, and can be moved around as needed for different set up configurations. They are made with double layered 1.43 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber and are very sturdy.

Price: $3.95 each
Weight: .1 oz each.
