@JustinFasula 5 ай бұрын
... care to elaborate on this? What specifically doesn't work? What is it about the conditions in Arizona that causes it to fail?

@@JustinFasula Sure, I would be happy too. First, schedule 40 or not that pvc will not stand up to the sun. It will get hot and disfigure while dropping that tarp to the floor. I built a much smaller tarp hanger for my sons rabbits, with schedule 40, went to work the next day and everything was on the ground when i returned. There was no holes drilled in my main beam, just factory fittings, primer and glue. I don't believe your posts would survive a moderate windy day although I haven't tested them.

@@dsplunker Awesome reply, thank you for the clarification! Since I plan to take my rig overlanding through a good portion of the southwest, I'll look into some alternative materials or designs.

@@JustinFasulaI am glad I could help. I ended up making mine out of thin walled aluminum. Most of the southwest is beautiful. I live in the high desert very near the the start of the forest.. We are about 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. I recommend coming to AZ in the spring and late fall. You can come to the flagstaff area early fall to get the great weather.

Be careful with the cheese ties,sun will deteriorate them and it will just come flying off,they make metal zip ties also which would be alot safer,great job though.

Did not know that about the sun. I don't leave this on all the time, just when I am going out camping or doing a ham radio event. I'm thinking of using those big twist ties or a different type of strap to attach to the roof rack. Not liking the zip tie arrangement other than they were cheap and easy and quick. Appreciate the advice and love everyone adding tips to this design for everyone to benefit from. I get so many great ideas from KZbin.

End Caps to eliminate wind whistle and drag? I have also "thought about" attaching a removable short center pole via a 3 way PVC connector just for a small headroom lift. (I love the center strap on your tarp, I'm surprised that's not a more common thing!) I'm gonna DIY that! I attach mine nestled between Cargo rack and a Luggage rack with heavy duty Zip-Ties. At first I thought the luggage rack was going to be a problem in mounting this, but it actually turns out to be an asset. 2009 RX350 AWD - Thank you for posting this!

Thank you. Lots of useful ideas. By way of return, one very compact support for a light tarp like yours is to put up "support lines", i.e. two cords, cables, etc. in an X under the tarp (once it is up). They just help give a little more headroom underneath. They won't support much during rain/wind, etc., at least mine don't, because they are lightweight.

Pull the pins to detach the tarp, slide inner pole into outer pole till hole lines up, insert pin, leave the pvc poles on the rig. Will have to stash the tent poles, tarp, and guy ropes in the truck. Can take it down in a few minutes. Thanks for the comment.

@michaelfoor6064 3 жыл бұрын
I agree excellent job. The two guy ropes should be 90 degrees to each other. One in line with the side edge of the tarp and the other in line with the front edge. That gives you resistive support from both sides as well as tension support from the front. Your center tie is also favorable. You can do it with a third pole if a tree isn’t handy.
