Tieout tape failure tests I wish I had a fish scale or similar to make this more objective, but I played around with some different tape combinations to see how much force it would take for them to fail. You can see ... |

Re: net door closure Yep, the zipper eliminated having to figure something that would work with an opening that varied 20" in width. If you always pitched it the same width within reason, your idea and a few other... |

Re: Washer failure Frankly, if it doesn't hold now, I'll just go back to my loops of tape. They don't look as elegant, but they worked. I will theorize it failed because I folded the tape right against th... |

Re: Re: The weight is all in the Tape I actually had a failure point this morning. One of the washers ripped out of the tape (the very corner I took the picture of earlier). I did get pretty small washers (3/8 OD I think) but this tape... |

Re: Re: Another Polycryo Tarp! My LDPE version has seen 30-35 mph gusts. I'd expect it to be noisy but last indefinitely. I'd assume the same performance from this material. We were supposed to have 35 mph gusts at train... |

Another Polycryo Tarp! So after over a year of waiting, I finally decided to pull out one of my large pieces of polycryo/cross-linked polyolefin (aka window shrink film) and make "Prototype 2" of my half pyrami... |

Re: Adventure Hiking Trail (IN) Last night I made it a point of telling the boys how proud I was of how well they had done, and both said hiking in the rain was the best part. How ironic. They just wanted to get home to mom and r... |
