I had my sister sew we a Henry Shires TarpTent for two.
The biggest problem I had was getting tent poles and Grommets to fit.
My tent poles are 1/4 inch Easton aluminum poles. Grommet should be slightly larger than a 1/4 inch. This size grommet is difficult to find. You will not find them at WalMart, Home Depot, fabric stores, or a hardware store. You will find them at Outdoor Wilderness Fabric or other internet stores selling outdoor fabrics, etc. The tent kit I bought through Thru-Hiker did not include the grommets or grommet tool.
