The ridge guylines are long enough to wrap around medium-sized trees. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the lightest Dyneema variant that is able to be printed, utilizing one side of printable film. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a no-sew tarp (except for tie-out bar-tacks); the entire perimeter and ridgeline is bonded. A properly bonded section of Dyneema is stronger than the material itself.  Thousands of tiny punctures caused by a sewing needle can weaken the tarp under load, so we chose to bond the ridge and perimeter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is constructed from a Dyneema Composite Fabric variant that is 0.67 oz\/sqyd, half the weight of the material used in our stuff sacks and rain mitts(1.43 oz\/sqyd). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile this material is extremely tough in the shear dimension, it is not able to withstand punctures as well as our stuff sacks and fanny packs.

The tie-out patches are a staggered fan design, similar to a racing sail, evenly distributing the stress under load. (Inside patch radius 3\", outside 2\"). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTarp rigging is included in the price.  Lineloc V's are used at all tensioning points and are the only adjuster that can be used effectively with the ultra-thin 1.3 mm Z-Line. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe guyline is double-wrapped within the tensioner for greater grip but you can single wrap them if you prefer quicker adjustments. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ridge trekking pole loops and ridge tensioners are attached to the tarp with D-rings so you can remove them if you prefer to use titanium adjusters like Tarp Flyz, Stingerz, or Waspz. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The 4 corner adjusters and the 2 center-wall adjusters are permanently affixed but if you would like to use your own rigging\/adjusters, please email info@hightaildesigns.pro and we will send you the tarp with the reinforcement patches separate.  If you go this route, please allow 72 hours after attaching your hardware with the included patches for a properly cured bond. All stock tarps are shipped already cured and ready to use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis tarp folds up perfectly into one of our Small Ultralight Stuff Sacks (not included). If you are good at rolling\/folding, you could definitely fit it into an Ultralight Drawstring Stuff Sack. \u003cstrong\u003eWe prefer not to stuff-pack the tarp, as the thinner films found on this Dyneema variant will last longer with fewer creases.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a very involved and time-consuming build, please purchase your tarp at least 1 month before any planned trips. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor more information on specs and setup, see below.
