FAQs

Does this tarp come with poles?

No, this tarp does not include poles. It is designed to be tied to trees or used with separately purchased hiking or tarp poles.

What are the dimensions of the tarp?

The tarp measures 3m x 3m, providing a 9 square meter coverage area.

Can this be used as a ground sheet?

Yes, its durable 190T ripstop construction allows it to be used as a ground sheet, though its primary design is for overhead shelter.

Is the material fire-retardant?

The product information does not specify fire-retardant properties; always keep open flames and stoves at a safe distance from the material.

How heavy is the setup once packed?

It is designed to be lightweight and compact, specifically for backpacking, and comes with a dedicated drawstring carry bag for transport.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the top of the tarp

Increase the tension on your ridgeline or adjust the height of the corner guy-lines to create a steeper pitch angle.

Tarp flapping loudly in the wind

Ensure all guy-lines are properly tensioned and use additional points of contact if the wind is high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, identify two anchor points such as trees or use trekking poles to define your height. Use the included hi-vis guy-lines to tension the tarp, ensuring a taut pitch to encourage water runoff. Always ensure the tarp is completely dry before folding and storing it in the provided drawstring bag to prevent mildew. If the fabric becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush and lukewarm water; avoid harsh detergents or washing machines. Regularly inspect the guy-lines for fraying and replace them if necessary to maintain the structural integrity of your shelter in high winds.
