Tarp recommedations?

[gorilla]

bad luck meant i didn't get Dougsters Tatonka 1 - can anyone recommend alternatives of the same size (4-4.5m square), and of a decent quality?
thanks

Nope. I'm rapidly heading in the direction of making onerather than buying one myself...assuming I can find a source of olive green PU coated medium thickness ripstop (not that I'm picky!).

try these guys for material to make the tarp from.
12m of fabric would make a great tarp (the 2ozPu is 1.5m wide)

Just make sure the seem isn't down the middle otherwise you'll get wet!!

I may know someone that can help with that, she works for RSC theatre and does all the costumes. Than again I can ask my mum as she's got all the kit!!
