I will be putting this forward to them within the next few weeks and will also request the extra attachment points.

hi miles8 re; dd tarps.
id like to see more colors ? mossy oak, brown, woodland marpat, i agree on more attachment points, i agree on custom sizes too
wider to create more shelter but shorter just to cover the lenght of hamock, also the web is awash with tarps
buy the webbing material n sew ur own attachments?

Does anyone know why DD dropped six of the attachment points on the DPM tarp? Apparently it used to have 19 but now has just 13.

A few more would have been helpful for pullouts as well as for pitching it diamond style.

Yes - but only if they had a series of loops / tie-downs that meant you could use it in a smaller scale (e.g. 4.5x 2.25, 4.5x3)

the DD Multi Camo tarps now have less attachment points as they had a problem with them tearing down the length of the tarp at the bottom by having less attachment points it seems to have solved this problem.

I make my own gear mostlybut 4.5x4.5m is defo the size I'll be making my final winter ones... just comes down to versatility really when you have summer/ smaller ones :) I agree that having colour choice is gonna be tempting potential customers, tis good idea :)

Oh heck aye, I'd have one... Not seen how many attachment points they have, but regardless, always room for a few more!!!!

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:)


Seconds for a larger Hammock and oh yes I would definitely go for a 4.5 X 4.5 especially if it has more attachment points so you can sling it diagonally

4 x 3.5 is what I'd probably find more useful.
3.5 to give better coverage over the ends of the hammock and 4 so I could pitch one side lower to the ground.
