Does anyone have a pattern for a homemade tarp they would mind sharing? My idea is a catenary cut tarp, with vestibules on both ends. This will be my first go at it, and I'd hate to waste a bunch of silnylon. I'd love some help if it was available.

Thanks.

P.S. I've been practicing setting up with an old tarp in the yard, but I'm having some sag in the middle that I can't seem to get taut. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are a handful of sites that offer information on making tarps.

With catenary cut.
