Edge Options
Straight Edge — Provides full coverage to the tarp perimeter and allows optional extra perimeter tie outs to be added.
Catenary Cut — Uses two catenary curves along each side of the tarp to help create a taut pitch.
Tie-Out Hardware
Choose from the following perimeter tie-out hardware options:
- Loops Only — Simple, lightweight attachment points
- Line Loc 3 — Works best with approximately 2–2.5 mm line
- Line Lock V — V-groove design capable of holding line as small as approximately 1 mm

- Line Lock Lite 15 mm — Lightweight option for approximately 2–3 mm line
- 1/2" D-Rings
Optional Attachment Points
Bivy Attachment Points — Positioned approximately 12" from each end of the tarp for attaching lightweight bivy components. These attachment points are not intended for hanging heavier items such as water bottles or lanterns.
Ridgeline Tie Outs — Small loops can be bar tacked along the top of the ridgeline seam to provide additional attachment points. Choose from:
- One centered tie out
- Two tie outs positioned at approximately 1/3 and 2/3 of the tarp length
- Three tie outs positioned at approximately 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the tarp length
Optional Accessories
Reflective Guyline — 2 mm Orange Reflective Guyline is available in several lengths. This line is not compatible with Line Lock V or 10 mm Line Lock Lite hardware.
Stakes — A set of eight Aluminum Y-Stakes or Ultralight Titanium Hook Stakes can be added to complete your tarp setup.
Patch Kit — Includes a small tube of silicone caulk, matching tarp fabric, and a stir stick for emergency repairs. Matching fabric is normally approximately 12" × 12", although the available size may vary with custom or specialty fabrics. The included silicone can also be used for future seam-sealing maintenance if needed.
