Would you like DD Hammocks to make a 4.5X4.5 Tarp

[Karl82]

Would you be interested in DD Hammocks making a 4.5X4.5 tarp. I am doing this pole so see how many people would be interested be for putting the idea forward to DD Hammocks.

 

[Mesquite]

Might be interesting so long as it's not out of that hideous camo material

 

[Karl82]

nope i will only be asking for them in Green. made it a poll now.

yarp,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[Kepis]

id like DD to make a wider hammock so i can lay diagonally instead of lengthways, far more comfortable for people like myself who have a back problem, appreciate this thread isnt about a hammock, just thought id throw it in there

I would rather the 3x3 one was just a foot longer for better coverage over the ends of my hammock.

I would rather the 3x3 one was just a foot longer for better coverage over the ends of my hammock.

3.5x3.5 would be a good size

 

[ex-member Raikey]

thought they already did?..

 

[Retired Member southey]

4,5m x 3m is the current biggy! they used t make a 4m x 4m which i have, its a good usable size,

 

[Elines]

4.5 by 4.5 would be good - especially if it had lots of attachment points to maximise versatility.

In addition a new 'product' might be to supply kits for making your own new attachment points. From what little I know of this that might be a suitable needle, loop material, reinforcing material and ?glue. Failing that they could maybe put a tutorial on the site on how to do it/mistakes to avoid

I love my tarps and a 4.5x4.5 would be another great addition

I seem to remember a conversation about this thing at North Wood

 

[ex-member Raikey]

If you dont mind me asking,..why DD?

i know its the first manufacturer everyone thinks of when they go to buy a tarp,..(i have a 3x3 myself)

i also have a cheapo Quechua jobby, 3 x 3

and an issue basha at 2.5 x 2.75 ??

and i,ve just ordered a Tatonka 445 x 425 ,...

i just wondered why DD seems to be the first thing considered in most tarp conversations...

if its a bespoke item your planning then really ,..you could ask anyone to put something together for you,...with all the extra anchor points / tabs / etc etc you could possible need,.....

thats if a decent search about didnt uncover another manufacturer that may already even make a 4.5 x 4.5

I know what you meen about the first name that comes to mind being DD. I have tried a few tarps in my time, and personally I love my DD 3m x 3m tarp! but the extra room underneath would be nice, as long as the price was right.
Let us know what you think about your Tatonka 445 x 425 when it arrives, and how you get on with it!.
Anyone out there know what kind of price DD are thinking of charging for there 4.5?

 

[Karl82]

the reason for DD is I like the light weight material the green tarps are made of. tatonka are just to thick and heavy. I Have not asked DD yet I started the Pol so i could take a number that would be interested so they could work out if it would be viable.

 

[Chiseller]

Can't see a poll using tapagab but I'd be up for one :thumbup:

 

[The Big Lebowski]

4 x 4 would be my ideal tarp...

I think DD comes into it, as pretty much all of us started with one

 

[R3XXY]

I wish they would make one in realtree camo or a good woodland DPM the green one is so far removed from any shade of green I've ever seen in the wood and their DPM may as well be day-glo orange !

 

[Native Nathan]

I'd love one, especially if they had 3 rows of attachment points instead of just the row down the centre line.

Say 1/3 of the way, The centre and 2/3 of the way

This would give us a lot more shelter creation options

 

[Andy T]

I'm with Nathan, more attachment points are needed. After i've done a bit of research as to the best way of doing it i'm going to be adding some to my 3x3.
