I'm kinda short and round and am worried about the length. How long is the front zipper?

Thanks for your question. The tarp is about 45" tall when setup. The zipper runs the full length of the vestibule opening, so that would make the zipper close to 48" long or so. The inside length is 85" and the total width is about 66". Hope this information helps.

How high is and is pole in center of tent or offset to front as appers to be?

You'll want to use a 45" tent pole or set your trekking pole to that length. The pole is set, outside on the entrance side of the cape. The cape will be about 45" tall at its peak, when setup.

No. None of the SMD shelters or tarps I sell are seam sealed. This is a simple task you can do yourself and it just takes a few minutes. All you'll need is a tube of McNett's Gear Aid Sil Net Silicone Seam Sealer, which you can find elsewhere on Amazon.
