Dimensions given are inaccurate

I have this to cover the ENO hammock. Try to close the bag after putting the hood back in the bag. I decided to make sure I got what I paid for so I decided to check the sizes listed in the description. Peak's size was the only one that wasn't close. Advertised 10 feet; I measured 9 feet 6 inches. I went through the comments/reviews section and realized I wasn't the only one noticing this. I then decided to see if the advertised 115 SQFT was close. Using the measurements I took from the sample I bought, I drew the dome in a CAD program. I used four corners and the center of each side to measure. It was essentially a straight line from the top to the corners, and the widest corner was curved, so that's how I drew it. The CAD program gives the area of the canopy as drawn at 94.35 SQFT. To get 115 SQFT as stated, you need to do the math based on the overall rectangular dimensions of the four corners, which obviously aren't that overhang. (See photo included) I then decided to make sure the cables that came with it were the correct length and they are, except for the "1-30 meter ridge line" which is not 30 meters (98, 4 feet), but was more like 30 feet long. probably a typo or a missed edit. All other items included were in the correct quantity. I ask the manufacturer or those responsible to correct the ad so that a fair comparison can be made and the product can be selected on its merits and not on false advertising. If the specifications match the manufacturer's intended measurements (barring a miscalculation of area), then there is a quality control issue.
