A great option for tinkerers who like to experiment with different pitches.
Tie-outs arranged in a grid pattern provide many pitching configurations for maximum adaptability. There are 16 tie-outs along the perimeter and 9 within the panels and on the ridgeline. The panel and ridge tie-outs each include hangloops for draping a bug bivy or other items. To prevent wicking of water through from the outer to inner ties, part of the sealing process is performed during construction, and there is no direct thread connection between the outer and inner ties.
- SilPoly fabric won't sag when the temperature drops.
- SilPoly fabric has lower water retention than SilNylon.
The ridgeline of this tarp and panel tie-outs need to be seam sealed as per these instructions prior to use (or use our service).
Due to the increased versatility of this tarp, we do not supply installed guylines and tensioners so as not to steer you towards any particular pitch. We recommend using our Fastline Clips with varying lengths of line so that you can easily relocate guylines on the tarp as needed.
Made in the USA from imported fabric.
