    Default Light weight tarp that can be used on ground or with hammock?

    I'm looking for a something that I can use with my hammock setup or just on the ground. Cuben preferably and having the ability to close off the ends. Any recommendations?

    Check out zpacks and see what they have to offer. They can make something custom if you need it.

    Check out HammockGear.Com's cuben fiber Winter Palace if money is no object. It's an 8.5 oz greenhouse.

    On a tighter budget the Warbonnet Superfly is a similarly sized silnylon model at 19 oz. That's what I use.

    Eno just came out with one. When closed looks like a typical A frame. Poles needed

    i had z-pack make me a 8'-8" by 11' cuben tarp 4 years ago (nobody else was making them then). i got it for hammock, but have used it on the ground as a pup tent and flying wing setup.
    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    I have a hammock gear cuban hex fly. Works perfect w my Darien UL hammock and for those times I opt to use a bivy. With all of my guidelines, cuban snakeskins, TI hooks, and Cuban stuff sack it comes in at 6.6oz
