    The rows are normally 2 feet apart. So your very bottom of tarp has a row of eyelets, then 2 feet above eyelets is your 1st row of d rings, then 2 feet above those DRings you will have another row of D rings.
    I think tarpstop has diagrams and illustrations of standard spacings and dimentions of tarps they carry to help visualize

    Most any place like www.derochecanvas.com will make any size you want any way you want.

    And by the way. When you get the tarps they will be rolled up the smallest you will ever see. From that point on they expand 10 times the size.lol

    You may also want to figure out the max size tarp you need and cut it in half and have 2 made but would be more expensive but much easier to handle.

    Go on that link I posted. You can get an idea what it may cost. You can also send them an email with your dimensions and requirements and they will give you a price.

    Forgot. If you do break the tarp up into a 2 piece tarp you need to add 1 foot to each ones length so you have a 2' overlap.
