- Warranty
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).

Warranty
We take pride in the quality of our products. Should you, the original owner, ever have a problem with your YAMA brand product due to a defect in workmanship, please contact us to arrange a repair or replacement. The warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, normal wear and tear, or misuse, and the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and risk of loss or damage during shipment. Repairs not covered by the warranty can usually be performed for a reasonable fee.
YAMA will do its best to address warranty repairs and replacements in a timely manner; however, be aware that YAMA may close periodically, sometimes for extended periods (we need to get out on the trail sometimes!). During these times, if you have a warranty issue, send us an email, and we'll reply as soon as we can. Reasonable efforts will be made to resolve the issue quickly, but in some cases, you will have to wait until the shop reopens.
Please see the product description for any product-specific warranty policies.
YAMA Labs products, and products purchased in the 'Closeouts' section of the store, are not covered by the warranty unless otherwise stated.
