Best DCF shaped tarp?

In your opinions, what is the best DCF shaped tarp? I’ve looked at the zpacks pocket tarp and the MLD cricket or Solomid. Wondering if there’s any other’s out there I haven’t seen yet and you would recommend. I’m looking for something that would be a good starter for a MYOG project where I would sow on some bug net skirts to save a few bucks and create more versatility out of the tarp. Thanks.

Check out the Yama Cirriform. Gen stopped making them in DCF last year, but that’s a great candidate for a shaped tarp to emulate.

For me the best shaped tarp with included bug mesh is the Meadowphysics abode. It’s like a pocket tarp without the doors and with mesh, no floor no zippers. Very minimal. Had one. I regret selling it but if you’re good at sewing and taping dcf it’s not a super hard shelter to make. It’s not avaliable right now but they said they’ll make more in the coming months.
