[Ch@rlie]

I understood what you meant , and had a look around the site, But the fluorescent pink amused me, don't worry I just have a wierd sense of humour.

Thanks

Lets not go all male chauvinist. There's nothing wrong with a pink tarp...

Hi

What material did you use ?


Had to laugh, one of the earlier links to material started with fluorescent pink that would make an inconspicuous tarp


Thanks

Hi MB,
This is some info on the material that i made my tarp from but the source is a secret.

2.3 ounce, DuPont 6,6 nylon base fibers
» Silicone elastomer coating on both sides of the fabric
» Biocide treated, to help fight the growth of mold and mildew
» Anti-fade (Fadex) treated, to combat the bleaching effect of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, keeping it brighter and stronger for longer
» Available in all of our 16 standard colors, and color-matched to Caliber.
» 800% stronger than conventional rip-stop nylon
» Zero porosity over its warranted lifetime — or longer
» six year warranty.

Cheers Topknot

Hi Topknot

I'll not pursue the source then ...

I thought thought it looked quite substantial

Having seen the recent threads on tarps ripping it the wind, I'm interested in something a little more substantial.

[mikeybear]

Ah ! now I understand , but where do you buy it from ?

Is the secret source something to do with a baloon that will no longer fly ?????

Slightly off thread but what are the advantages of a tarp over an army Poncho?

 

[mountainm]

It's bigger

I've just picked up off ebay 10m of waterproof ripstop nylon in the camo pattern similar to the Italian poncho. My intension is to make a 3m x 3m tarp.

nice! tell me how it goes.

are they seling any more still?

It was from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200609159448 and it looks like he's put another up. Bought yesterday morning and arrived today. To be fair though it cost me £30 in total which is just as much as a DD tarp, but it's in a camo pattern I like. My intention is to get it sewn together tomorrow night for use Friday night althogh I won't have time for the fixings. i'll get round that by using clingons though.
