In the past we have used a friends homemade tarp that had nylon webbing (strap material) sewn into the tarp along the longest axis. With a cam buckle on either end. When setting up the tarp you could create a tremendous amount of tension, more tension then the tarp could take alone. This made for a very durable pitch.
I would like to modify an existing Wing to this set-up
I would prefer that it all be one "piece," rather than rigging the webbing separately then draping the tarp over it.
I'm leaning towards sewing the webbing on the underside with spray on silicon to seal the stitching?
Other pitfalls I haven't thought of?
Anybody else done this?
