does anyone know of a pattern or template for a tarp shape like this geometry?

Re: DIY tarp geometry
Forgive me, but why do you need a pattern? Can't you figure the profile from the final dimensions you desire?

Re: DIY tarp geometry
I made up some numbers so I could have a picture. Tell me what the four dimensions should be and I'll send you a drawing for the flat shape.
Re: DIY tarp geometry
Post pics after you make it. I'd love to see it.

Re: DIY tarp geometry
I believe you want to buy it rather than make it
Have you looked at https://mountainlaureldesigns.com/, gossamergear.com, https://www.sixmoondesigns.com/, http://tarptent.com/, https://sierradesigns.com/, or rei?
If you wanted to make it I probably have some suggestions. And there are other people here that have mad stuff.

Jerry is right. I spent a lot of time making gear. Tarps are often bought cheaper than they are made.
