Camping Tent Tarp,Hammock Rain Fly Tarp,10X10FT/10X15FT Waterproof Tarp Backpacking,Multifunctional Tarp Tent Footprint for Camping,Lightweight Emergency Shelter Tarp(10×10FT Coffee)

This is a nice tarp for the money. Have probably 15 trips with it where it rained fairly hard and it was great. On labor day weekend it got super windy "about 60mph winds blowing straight off a lake". It's a survivor so far. The size is nice too. I've had 3 backpacking tents set up underneath it with ample room for us to sit under in our chairs and watch storms pass. Highly recommend.

This tarp just took a night of 25-35 mph winds at elk camp with gusts around 50. No exaggeration. I grew up on the west coast commercial fishing so I know what "gale force" winds are. I had to take it down as it was pulling up the stakes I used. Not the cheap peg style it came with but the 10" red plastic 3 sided you can get at Bi-Mart or here on Amazon. I swore this thing was going to tear the eyes out or rip the stitching but it held up much better than I expected. Actually it held up perfectly. It might be stretched some, I'll see when I fold it up latter, but it impressed me big time. I am going to get another, 10x15 coffee, and have better coverage from the rain. I take too much crap now I am getting old. LOL The stakes, actually hooked pegs and the tension lines are the weak points. Plastic tensioners are light but they held up fine. The tie down lines are the weakest part. Cheap like you get with a $20 tent and they are kind of slick so the plastic tensioners slide when the wind picks up. I had no visible leaks at the center taped seam the first night of the rain storm. The next night with the wind the rain came in sideways so the tarp was pretty much useless especially when it tried to fly away. I had the center points, length wise, tied to trees, maybe 1 1/2 feet away, on each end. I then tied the eyes on each side of the center points around the same tree. 3 points on each end tied tight. I then put tarp poles, Hikeman here on Amazon, at each corner set lower and guyed out with 2 lines staked each. A frame style. The center eyes on the sides I staked out with tension to allow for rain runoff. This setup worked great until the big gusts hit. The people who claim theirs tore out I think did not have enough tension on their tarp and allowed it to whip which will tear things in time. Anyways, I was really impressed with this tarp.

I bought this to store in the car for emergency shelter if needed. It's not super lightweight or compact, but it does what I need. The tarp feels solid with reinforced corners and webbing loops. Comes with guy lines and moderate stakes to tie down the tarp. I poured a few drops of water on the tarp and it repels water well. Seems like this set-up would keep you dry in a moderate to heavy rain if tied off well.

The tarp itself is great. Went backpacking with a friend and had one over each of our hammocks and one over our gear and everything and everyone stayed dry during a thunderstorm that night. The stakes it comes with are flimsy and cheap so I wouldn't rely on those, one bent in half just pushing it into soft mud. But the tarps themselves are worth it as long as you bring better stakes than the ones they come with

This 10'x10' tarp gives plenty of room to use it for a hammock rainfly, a stand-alone ground shelter or hang it as a sunshade or wind barrier. Reinforced tie-down loops at the corners and 3 more on each side, plus one in the center make it so there are plenty of options for set-up. The pegs, cordage and bag aren't amazing, but they're perfectly usable.

I've used the cheap plastic tarps my whole life and finally decided to spend a bit more for something lighter and more compact. I'm very glad I did; this is a huge upgrade. Sturdy but light construction. The various loops spaced all around the edges and across the middle are secured very nicely. It also came with a small bag of stakes and guylines. I think this would work best for weekend backpackers or canoe camping, to improve your site at a minimal cost in weight and space. I recommend the 10' x 15' if you're wanting to shelter more than 2 people.

Purchased this tarp to use with a hammock for camping. The tie down points seem durable and the ammount of tie down points makes it very versatile. If its setup where water can pool it will drip through the material. Otherwise it sheds water as it should.

Thus tarp has 19 atrachment points. It is 10'x10' and can be pitched in many configurations, has reinforced tie outs, tough and durable too
