Im looking to make a 3m x 3m tarp and wondered...
Anybody know of a good place online or off to get some material suitable for a basha/tarp?

Let me know where you got the DD tarp from mate.

I could do with one at that price as well.

I went to the Pointnorth website, http://www.profabrics.co.uk/ to see what the materials cost.

I was interested in sil-nylon for one of these

and realised that the main advantage would be in getting just what I wanted, not in cost, and that there was the real risk that it would all go horribly pear-shaped and I would come out with nothing but scrap

Perhaps a smaller tarp of PU coated nylon would work out better..

Best of luck, and if you go ahead, be sure to take pictures and let us all see how it turns out!
