Eco tarp (9'): 313g | 11.0 oz Membrane tarp (9'): 245g | 8.6 oz Size: 9' / 7' x 9' or 10'

The Tarp

There's something special about sitting under your tarp as raindrops fall around you. This tarp tapers in width to provide more coverage where you need it and less where you don't. The curved ridge and edges help produce a taut, wind-shedding pitch in the classic a-frame configuration.

Tapered Shape
Uses space efficiently.
Curved Ridge and Edges
Provide a taut pitch.
Recycled Fabric Option
Eco Silpoly is made from recycled fabric.
Silpoly
Won't sag when the temperature drops, with lower water retention than SilNylon.
Reflective Tie-outs
Easy to spot at night.
Pairs Well
Great with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.

Tie-outs

Perimeter tie-outs	8: ridge ends (2), corners (4), side midpoints (2)
Ridge tie-out	1: near the foot end of the ridge, for an improvised rear beak
Hang loops	5: ridge ends (2), on the ridge near each end (2), middle of ridge (1)

Improvised rear beak

Move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out. A fastline clip makes this easy (one is included in the optional rigging kit).
Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.

Note that the color of the UltraGrid reinforcements may vary from what's shown.

Seam Sealing

You'll need to seam seal the ridgeline of this tarp prior to use as per these instructions (or use our service).

Required items (not included):

Optional rigging kit:

30 ft x 1.8mm UHMWPE core cord (22.5g | 0.79 oz)
7 x 10mm Tensionlock Tensioners (7.5g | 0.26 oz)

Rigging

An optional rigging kit is available for those who wish to set up their tarp per our recommendations.

The kit comes with the following items:

30 ft of 1.8mm UHMWPE core guyline with reflective tracer
7 x 10mm Tensionlock guyline tensioners
1 x Fastline clip
2 x Guyline Grommets

Installation:

Cut your guylines to the lengths shown below.

Front corners: 40" x 2
Rear corners: 30" x 2
Front apex: 96" x 1
Rear apex: 80" x 1
Midpoints: 20" x 2

Install the tensioners using a girth hitch (see images below). Install at all perimeter tie-outs except the rear apex
Clip the fastline clip to the rear apex.
Install guylines into the tensioners:
- Tie a loop in one end of each guyline. We prefer to use a bowline knot.
- Thread the guylines through the tensioners as shown in the photos below. For the two guylines that attach to the ridgeline, slip a grommet onto the guyline prior to threading it through the tensioner.
- Tie a knot in the untied end of each guyline. We use a simple overhand knot.
