    Heyyo
    I plan on using this material for making a tarp,
    So wanted to ask if it’s possible to tape it, like DCF and so.

    Thanks 🙂

      The fabric is 72 inches wide. If you order 1 unit (1 yard) we’ll send a single piece that is 36 inches (1 yard) long x 72 inches wide. If you order two units (2 yards), we’ll send a single piece that is 72 inches (2 yards) long and 72 inches wide.

  5. Question

    mpsegerson

    Do you have a product that is all silicone … sil/sil? There seems to be some confusion with labeling silpoly. Sil/sil is true silpoly with zero PU.

    The website says Sil/PU, the video indicates the fabric is all Sil. Is it all sil or sil/pu?

      Not so much a write or wrong side but they are a little different. One has a light PU coating. So preferably, if you are using two panels, try to use the same outside. It is more for looks though then function.

  11. Question

    nordish-guy

    You wrote one side is PU coated. If the other side is Sil-coated I need two different seam sealer, needn’t I? Seam Grip and Sil-Net? How can I recognize which side is PU and which is silicon for using the right seam sealer?

      It will only have to coincide with the side you are seam sealing.

    Great fabric, better priceI got this fabric at $5 a yard and made 3 x 12ft winter tarps with doors for my brothers and I to each have one. Here’s the special part. I spent a little more than $60 on 3 winter tarps. Think about that for a moment, realize this is wider than normal fabric, (and thus more tarp), and then buy this fabric!

    There is just so much room and I don’t have to hunch over and crab walk to my hammock anymore. All thanks to the extra width this fabric has.

    Fabric isn’t too difficult to work with (just take your time). This is lower stretch fabric and I skipped cat cuts. This made it very simple to just measure, mark and cut straight lines. Of course, your mileage may vary.

    Cost break down:

    – Fabric: (I bought two colors and have extra of each) = $145
    *20 Yd: $100
    *9 Yd: $45
    – 300D Pack Material (Half Yard): $4
    – 3/4 Inch Beastee Dee Rings: 30 (10 per tarp) = $7.50
    – Gutermann Thread: 2 x spools = $7.20
    – Mitten hooks (Single): 12 (4 per tarp on doors): $2.40
    – 3/32 Shock Cord (25 Feet): $4.25

    Not acquired from dutch:
    – 3/4 Inch Grosgrain 50yd spool on amazon = $10

    Total Price: $180.35 (~ $60.12 per tarp!!!)
