Description: Designed for the full range of pitch options this 11'x 10' tarp is
primarily a flat tarp. Its 11 foot length is long enough for the longest
of currently available camping hammocks. The 10 foot width allows
for “A” frame pitches with generous five foot sides. Perhaps more
importantly, it can be pitched to form a full side wind block ala a Baker
hut for hammocks tied to trees a normal 5 to 6 feet above the ground and
still provide great top coverage.
Alternatively, this tarp may be hung on it's 10 foot length and pitched in
a "tent" like mode to provide excellent weather protection and privacy.
This technique works well with regular size hammocks such as the Claytor
Mosquito and Expedition, the Eagles Nest Singles and Doubles, the Travel
Hammock, the Treklight Hammock, and all of the Hennessy models except the
Safari.
The 11 foot sides have dual catenary cut
edges. The removal of the approximately four inch catenary cuts results
in a tarp that pitches taut with little to no effort. Use of a rolled hem
technique eliminates the several ounces of edging weight associated with
more common gross grain ribbon edged catenary tarps. Combined with the
strong JRB corners the resultant tarp is strong yet lighter than similar
sized tarps. The JRB 11'x 10' Tarp is made
out of 1.1 oz. silicon impregnated ripstop nylon cordura
®
now with
21 tie-out tabs (9 along each of the 10' edges, 3 on each of the 11' edges one on the center of the ridge line). This provides for a 50% increase in "porch" coverage when in the Baker style lean-to pitch. Including silnyl stuff sack it weighs 19 oz. and packs to approximately
10”x 5”x2".
NOTE: Prior to use it is recommended that the
ridgeline seam be sealed. Jacks 'R' Better recommends McNett SilNet Silicon Seam Sealer.
WARNING: Silicon impregnated nylon is flammable, please use caution near open flame.
CAUTION: Nylon will age and breakdown prematurely if exposed to continuous sunlight (ultra-violet light). Do not leave nylon products set up in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. |
