I usually put some logs or stones under the sterns to raise the canoe a bit. It gives a higher ceiling under the tarp. And instead of using the paddles I just tie it to the lower gunwale, like here: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HnQT9wx6CIc/VZKZGYHb_lI/AAAAAAAAAbU/APbRj-YrEK0/s1600/2015-05-31%2B4858.jpg<br />Yea I know, it's an ugly synthetic tarp. I plan to make a 1.5m x 3m (4.9 x 9.8 foot) cotton tarp solely for this setup later.Jonas Sjöblomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702691285263458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157484949428480187.post-14851089743652272582015-10-31T19:10:07.374-04:002015-10-31T19:10:07.374-04:00take your time...

As for shipping a 12x14 that would be great!! I have a sewing machine and looking into buying a other one bigger, so maybe I could sew 2 8x12.... Anyway, keep me posted.<br /><br />Cheers<br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017066552183432883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157484949428480187.post-20718383613355193422015-10-31T12:22:29.400-04:002015-10-31T12:22:29.400-04:00I didn't measure for shrinkage since I washed ...I didn't measure for shrinkage since I washed the huge 12x14 twice in hot water and then cut out the 10x10. Had lots of excessive material. I went with this instead of 10oz Sunforger because of cost and the Sunforger fabric seems to come in 36" or 60" width. I don't have a sewing machine so this wasn't an option to make a proper 10x10. Natural canvas is spark resistant but not flame resistant. I'm more concerned with spark holes from a reflective fire but don't plan on having open flames in the shelter. Guess if you're planing making a proper hot tent with a stove inside then fire treated Sunforger would be the safest way to go. If you want, I'll try to see if I can find the 12x14 again here in TO and determine what the shipping cost will be to Whitehorse.

How much shrinkage did you get in yours? Why going with the drop cloth over the 10oz army duck sunfogger?<br />Will you do some thing for fire retardant treatment?<br /><br />Thank you<br />DaivdDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017066552183432883noreply@blogger.com
