    Exactly the pattern I was going to do. :D:thumbsup:

    Will have to look around for this stuff. Would a fabric store have it or a sporting goods place?

    Are you talking about using this in a machine? or hand stitching it?

    That box-x stitch is impossible without cutting your thread or backtacking. If you want maximum strength (or as much as you can get from a box-x) and a nice aesthetic, you'll need to modify it just a bit. This is a very helpful box-x tutorial... https://youtu.be/y03wcd_Z1G4

    Alright guys, I'm looking to put together a tarp to create a shelter over the tailgate. I want to make something a bit better suited than just an 8x10 tarp. I was looking at the Hex12 from RBTR (ripstopbytheroll) thinking that might work alright. Anyone have any better ideas for shape or opinions on dimensions?

    Saw a picture of someone using this over the back of their teardrop. Looked like it was perfect.

    Yes! That's a lot better. Something that would provide some liveable space outside the tailgate. And when I sleep back there it'd be nice to have some cover so I can leave the flap open.

    I like the 1 pole method. I've seen others with 2. That one you last shared is more like what I'd go for.
