Troubleshooting

Tarp not shedding water effectively

Ensure the tarp is pitched taut with adequate slope for water runoff. Check that taped seams are intact. For persistent issues, consider seam sealer.

Attachment points feel weak

Do not exceed the load-bearing capacity of the attachment points. Use appropriate cordage and avoid sharp pulls. Inspect points for damage.

Mildew develops on tarp

Always ensure the tarp is completely dry before storing. If mildew appears, clean with a mild solution and allow to dry thoroughly outdoors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Supertarp can be set up using a variety of methods. Secure the nineteen reinforced attachment points to trees, rocks, or stakes (not included) using cordage (not included). Experiment with different configurations like an A-frame, lean-to, or diamond tarp to best suit your needs and environment. Ensure the tarp is taut to promote water runoff.
