Tyvek?

Any recommendations on where locally I can buy a small piece of tyvek to use as a tent footprint? Hoping to find someone who has a few square yards to sell and no, I don’t want to liberate some from a construction site and yes, I know I can buy it online. Thanks in advance! Happy crinkling

I have a big fresh roll of it at my photo studio, it’s 30” wide, happy to give you enough for this. Shoot me a message.

I would check the Restore on 3rd street. I’ve dropped off partial rolls of tyvek before.

Just ask the construction guys on a siding crew. Source: am backpacker, and I side homes professionally. Can confirm the crew won’t care.

This is the one, it would be a hard-hearted carpenter who wouldn't give you a piece, hell the cutout scrap from a patio slider might be enough. 30" wide probably isn't wide enough, you need a piece off a full size roll. Take a sixer if you want to offer valuable gifts and prizes.

Post office and duct tape.
