I am having them add the eave sleeves and the additional angle kit so that I can have an awning extend out front. I was considering buying the oversized rain fly to accomplish this, but its $378!! Compared to the tent that's not much, but I think a extra large tarp could work just as well. Any guys have experience with either option that can throw in their :twocents:

Hardware sales Bellingham has white tarps. $50.00.
I set up tent t in the yard . Bought the tarp to hang 12 inches out back and 6 ft out front.
Marked the corners with a marker so when I am by myself I know where it is suppose to be without running around the tent.
Cut a stove hole and tha put a different peice of heavier material for a flap if not using stove.
Just tie it open when in use.

Not worth the money! Get s tarp of just dont use anything. Ive used it both ways anc had no problems. I hate the noise addding a tarp makes.. And really you dont need it.

The tarp is extra protection from UV, sparks , and sticky crap falling off trees.
Also don't use paper to start you wood stove. Fire starts ,kindling and a soldering torch work well and can be stored in the stove.

Our tent is set up for 30 plus days a year and is over 20 years old and has never had a tarp on it nor any additional treatments. No holes yet. I can't stand the rain noise on tarps, kinda ruins the whole outdoor experience for me. to each their own. I would drop the dough for the canvas extension.
That's the problem, its $400 for a poly tarp, which I can supplement with the ideas show above.The canvas are around $600 I believe.
