Product Information

Full details

The Outwell Canopy Tarp Shelter is a versatile grey tarp designed for campers seeking to extend their living space or gain on-the-go shelter. Its key benefit is the adaptable setup, allowing it to attach to an Outwell tent or be used independently. A potential caveat is its reliance on suitable terrain and staking for stability in windy conditions. This shelter is ideal for day trips, holidays, and family camping, offering quick and easy pitching with height-adjustable poles for multiple configurations.

How much does the tarp weigh?

The tarp weighs 5.25 kg.

Is it suitable for heavy rain?

With a 6000 mm hydrostatic head, it is highly waterproof and suitable for moderate to heavy rain when pitched correctly.

Troubleshooting

Tarp is flapping excessively in the wind.

Ensure all guylines are taut and securely staked into the ground. Adjust pole height if necessary to create a tighter pitch. Consider repositioning the tarp to face away from the prevailing wind.

Water is pooling on the tarp surface.

Adjust the pole height or guylines to create a steeper pitch, allowing water to run off more easily. Ensure guylines are properly tensioned.

Difficulty attaching to an existing tent.

Refer to your specific Outwell tent's manual for attachment points. Ensure you are using the correct ropes or loops for a secure connection.

Poles are difficult to adjust.

Check for dirt or debris in the pole sections or adjustment mechanisms. Gently clean and re-lubricate if necessary. Ensure pole sections are fully inserted.
