Tried the DIY tarp/tent kit?

[Deer_Bum]

Has anyone made the DIY tarp tent shelter from Ripstop by the roll? Came across their DIY section while looking at fabrics for my own design. Seeing if anyone has made one and thoughts.

I just measured and cut an old 10 x 13 Silnylon tarp I had so one end will be an enclosed A frame. Kind of similar to a mega tarp. I still need to attach tie outs and sew it up. I was close to buying a different shelter, but thought this would be worth a shot first. I will post pics when I finish.

I like your design Realunlucky, that’s more what I was hoping for. Looks good and like you have plenty of room in there!
I like the style/shape of the mega tarp. I think I’ll keep refining my design and pass on the DIY kit for now. Will post some photos when I get it done, hopefully this spring to test it all summer. Thanks for the input

I made this one with RBTR’s regular stuff. It’s lighter than Kifaru’s material, 20d vs K’s 30d I believe, but it has withstood ND wind on several occasions. If I do another I’ll use their 1.1 oz mtn because it seems tougher.

I used Sketchup to make the pattern for my tipi....

but i'm sure RSBTR's pattern is good if you want that exact size.

Still refining my design but finally ordered some material. Thanks for the replies. Have been looking over others’ projects and have learned a ton. Just hoping my wife can teach me to sew!
