This community is a central space for makers and creators of all types. Woodworking is just as welcome as 3d printing, welding can go alongside programming robots run by micro controllers.

"Look what I made" is welcome, as is "This is how to make it".

The important thing is to create something, and get inspired by other people's creations.

Keep it civil and uplifting.

Hello Making Friends

I am making a footprint for a tent from tyvek: should I hem the exterior so that the fabric folds over from the top side and is sewn (or taped) to the underside? What about adding gromets?

I am thinking that the hem would keep ground water from seeping between the tent and foot print if it were to rain.

I am also thinking this is too much work for very little benefit, and an unfinished edge is simple, easier, and just as durable (this is freaking House wrap).

Thoughts?
