>>2843104Note: it also had a "ridge beam", also a maple pole cut from a small maple tree. All poles were debarked, and the four upright poles touching the ground were charred and dipped in used motor oil on the ends touching the ground to deter rot.
So:
Two triangles made from ~11ft poles on each end.
One ~11ft pole across the top.
Two ~11ft poles spanning the length of the sides, one per side, about halfway between the peak and the foot.
Two 8in logs, 10-11ft long anchoring the sides of the tarp, one each side.
I don't remember the size of the tarp, but it wraps around the triangles on the ends. The back is folded over and tied, while the front is folded over but held with bungees so I can open it.
The tarp is just one of those silver and black heavy duty poly tarps. Nothing fancy. The paracord is just regular real paracord. Very simple, but unbelievably durable.
