Customer Project: Pre-cut HEX12 UL tarp kit

by Jenifer

• OVERVIEW
• HOW DO I MAKE IT
• MATERIALS

• Looking for a lightweight tarp and the challenge of making a tarp myself the RBTR pre-cut tarp was perfect. The finished weight came in at just over 10 oz.
• 1. I stitched the ridgeline seam with a flat felled seam.
  2. I cut the pre-cut reinforcement pieces to match the shape of the 4 tie-out locations and 2 ridgeline ends.
  3. Using Gear Aid Seam Grip SIL I adhered the 6 reinforcements to the wrong side of the tarp and allowed them to set for 24 hours.
  4. I stitched one line of stitching along the arc of each reinforcement piece.
  5. I hemmed the perimeter of the tarp with a rolled hem.
  6. I attached the rings using gross grain ribbon to the wrong side of each of the reinforcements.
  7. Using Gear Aid Seam Grip SIL I sealed the wrong side of ridgeline seam.
