Troubleshooting
Water pooling on top of the tarp
Adjust the tension of the guy lines or increase the height of the center pole to create a steeper angle for better drainage.
Tarp flapping loudly in the wind
Ensure all four corners are tightly secured and pull the fabric taut by adjusting the line tensioners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the tarp is intuitive. Use the included 4 ropes to secure the corners to trees or trekking poles. While only 2 pegs are provided, it is recommended to carry extra stakes if you plan on creating complex shapes. For care, always shake off loose dirt and debris before folding. If the tarp gets wet, allow it to air dry completely in the shade before packing it away to prevent mildew. Use mild soap and water for spot cleaning; avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can compromise the waterproof coating and UV protection. Store in a cool, dry place to ensure the fabric remains supple for your next trip.
