• Weight: approximately 822 g

How to use

Choose a site with suitable anchor points such as trees or install poles to create a ridgeline. Unpack the tarp and orient it so the sprayed or taped seams face away from the area to be kept dry. Secure the tarp’s attachment points to trees, stakes, or poles, then tension the ridgeline and corner guy lines to form a taut canopy that sheds water away from the hammock or campsite. Adjust height and angle to increase runoff and reduce wind exposure. When not in use, dry the tarp thoroughly before packing to preserve fabric and seam treatments.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, inspect attachment points and tension lines before heavy rain, and use multiple guy lines to stabilize the tarp in windy conditions. Store dry and clean to extend the tarp’s functional life.
