Increase the storm worthiness of your tarp setup with a clip-in tub floor. Extensions at the head and foot provide extra splash protection and drape out of the way when not needed.
For the simplest setup, clip the top four corners to your tarp using shock cord and mitten hooks. This suspends the top of the tub and allows the floor to hang. Deploy the head and foot extensions by clipping them to your tarp above, and for serious weather, clip the sides up to the center of your tarp's ridgeline. For extra security in windy environments, clip out or stake the bottom corners of the tub.
The floor partners well with our Cirriform tarps, tapered tarps, rectangular tarps*, and many other a-frame style tarps. For a more minimalist tub, please see our Simple Tub.

Overview
For most users, we recommend installing shock cord at each of the four upper tub corners, at the midpoints along each long side, and at the extensions at the head and foot. Clipping the upper corners out to your tarp's corners will allow the floor to hang. To help keep the tub more secure in the wind, some users may wish to install additional cord at the tub's lower corners. These cords then get clipped out to the tarp's stakes (alternate: stake the four lower corners directly to the ground).
Optional Rigging Kits
Rigging kits are available for connecting your floor to your tarp. Four options are offered.
- Options A & C include Tensionlocks. These install at the corners and make for easy adjustment of your cord lengths. They are most useful if you expect to pitch your tarp at varying widths.
- Options A & B contain less shockcord and are sized to work well with the 1P Cirriform Tarp.
- Options C & D contain more shockcord and are better suited for use with larger tarps.

D | 25 ft | 0 | 8 | 3 | 0.9 oz | 26g | $6.60 |
1 - Determine cord lengths
For pitching with a 1P Cirriform, see our length recommendations in the diagram below. Otherwise, use this method:
- Pitch your tarp (err on the wider & higher side) and lay the floor out about where you'd like it positioned.
- Run some shock cord from a front corner to the associated corner of the tarp. The cord should be taut, but not stretched. Cut two cords at this length (one for each front corner).
- Repeat for the rear corners.
- Repeat for one of the midpoints.
- For the extension at the head end, measure the distance from the head end of the floor (at ground level) to a hang loop above and subtract ~15" (38cm).
- For the extension at the foot end, measure the distance from the foot end of the floor (at ground level) to a hang loop above and subtract ~10" (25cm).
- After installing the rigging and pitching the floor, determine the length for the remaining midpoint by running the cord from the midpoint, through a hang loop above, and to the cord attached to the opposite side.
2 - Install the rigging at the corners (if not using tensioners)
- Cut the shock cord to length (see above).
- Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
- Tie a loop in the other end of the cord. We like like to use an overhand loop knot.
- Attach the cords to the tub's corners using a girth hitch (excluding the longer cord at one of the midpoints).
2 - Install the rigging at the corners (if using tensioners)
- Cut the shock cord to length (see above).
- Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
- Using a girth hitch, install a tensioner on the elastic loop at each of the tub's upper corners (see photo sequence below).
- Thread the untied end of the shockcord through the tensioner as shown (first through the middle opening from bottom to top, then through the remaining hole from top to bottom).
- Tie a loop in the untied end of the cord. We like like to use an overhand loop knot.
- Repeat at each corner
3 - Install the rigging at the head & foot extensions
- Cut the shock cord to length (see above).
- Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
- Pass the untied end of the shockcord through the webbing loop.
- Thread the untied end of the shockcord through a cordlock.
- Tie a loop in the untied end of the cord. We like like to use an overhand loop knot.
- Repeat at the other extension.
4 - Midpoints
- Cut the shock cord to length (see above). You will have one short cord and one long cord.
- Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
- On the short cord, tie a loop and the other end, and install it at one of the midpoints as done in Step 2 (non-tensioner method).
- Take the longer cord and pass the untied end between the webbing and the floor as shown in the photo (not through the top part of the loop).
- Thread the cord through the cord lock, then tie a loop in the end.
Tips
- If you find that your cords are slack, or the tub's walls not pulled taut for your widest pitches, trim your cords (or tension them, if using tensioners).
- For narrower tarp pitches, take up slack in the cords using one of these methods:
- Double over the cord by running it through the tarp's tie-out and then clipping it back to the tub.
- Tie a loop along the length of your cord. Clip the mitten hook to the loop, then clip it to the tarp's tie-out (eg. to make a 30" cord have an effective length of 20", tie a loop 10" from the mitten hook).
- To raise the sides, cinch the cords attached to the midpoints using the cordlock.
- For additional stability in the wind, either stake the bottom corners to the ground, or run cords from the bottom corners to your tarp's stakes.
Product Availability
- In most cases, items that are available to add to your cart are in-stock and ready to ship. Please refer to the shipping tab or page for expected fulfillment times.
- Some items may be marked as "Avalable to backorder," "Made to order," and/or show a lead time. In these cases refer to the information on the product page for expected fulfillment times.
- For items that are sold out, please refer to the production calendar and the Q & A below for more information.
Q: When can I expect the item I'm interested in to become available?
A: For most items, please refer to the production calendar at the bottom of this page. This calendar shows when we expect to work on more substantial products. For some accessory products, production may not always be scheduled in advance and availability may be unpredictable.
FYI: If you do not see the item that you are interested in, then we do not know when it may become available (We're often not scheduled far out in advance and don't have a private schedule beyond what's shown!).
Q: Can I pre-order, back-order, or reserve an item?
A: We don't typically reserve products, however there are some exceptions to this. For example, if someone orders an in-stock Cirriform and wants to also order an out-of-stock Bug Shelter for it, if the Bug Shelter is expected within a couple weeks, we'll usually make arrangements to reserve one of the Bug Shelters and hold the order so shipping may be combined.
On occasion, select products may be available to back-order or pre-order. When this happens, that status will be shown on the product page. If you're signed up for the stock notification, you will receive a notice that the item is available to back/pre-order.
Q: Can you let me know when the item becomes available?
A: Yes. On the product page, enter your email address in the space provided to be automatically notified when inventory becomes available. If you don't see where you can do this, please let me know; sometimes there's a fluke in the settings and the field doesn't show. Please note that the email notification could get filtered out as spam. You can try to 'whitelist' info@yamamountaingear.com to make sure the email comes through.
NOTES ON USING THE CALENDAR
- For products shown on the calendar, you can typically expect the item to be made available towards the end, or soon after the period shown on the calendar. Sometimes, however, some items may be listed earlier in the period. For example, if the calendar shows that I'm working on tapered tarps, certain sizes may become available earlier within the period with other sizes coming later.
- Items that specify "ongoing production" mean that we are continually working on these items and doing our best to maintain inventory. If the item or a particular size is sold out, you can expect it to likely become available soon.
- Please note that you can change the month shown on the calendar using the arrows at the top.
Shipping Information
While most orders ship out within 1 - 3 business days, please allow up to one week for us to ship your order. This gives us some scheduling flexibility for getting out on the trail!*
*If you select seam sealing services with your purchase, please allow a few extra days for us to seal the item(s) and ship your order.
