The Tarp

Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from about 8' at the head to 6' at the foot and is offered in two lengths to better fit your needs. We think this size tarp is the sweet spot for the solo camper.

  • Tapered shape uses space efficiently
  • Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch
  • Recycled fabric option
  • Silpoly won't sag when the temperature drops
  • Lower water retention than silnylon
  • Reflective tie-outs
  • Great for partnering with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.

Tie-outs

Perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2). There are hang loops located at each end of the ridge (2), the middle of the ridge (1), and about 14" in on the ridge from each end (2) (18" on the 10' tarp).

There is an additional tie-out on the ridge about 14" in from the narrow end (18" on the 10' tarp) to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out. We recommend using a fastline clip (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).

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:
  1. 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
  2. Install the tensioners using a girth hitch (see images below). Install at all perimeter tie-outs except the rear apex
  3. Clip the fastline clip to the rear apex.
  4. 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.

wasting your money
Size: 35 x 7, Color: White-rgb
I’m very disappointed with this purchase. The shelves have a questionable finish - honestly, you can get something cheaper and much better quality at IKEA. But the biggest issue is the lighting. None of the lights work. I put in brand-new batteries and absolutely nothing happens. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money on this product.

Lights stop working after a few usage
Size: 31 x 7, Color: Black-rgb
I had these shelves for a few months now. The shelves are great and are very easy to install. I also like that they offer different sizing, so depending what you are storing on them. They can fit a lot of items and are sturdy so you don’t have to worry about it falling. The lights were amazing at first and the main reason why I bought this product, but after a few times using them they stopped working completely and no longer connect.

Incomplete kit. Missing anchors. LED are white not yellow or amber. Shelf is dented. Had to buy double sided tape for the LEDs to stick. Strips can't hold weight of charging blocks. Not easy to install

Highly recommend
Size: 35 x 7, Color: White-rgb, Size: 35 x 7, Color: White-rgb
I absolutely love the look of this coffee and beverage station. The purple LED lighting creates a modern and inviting atmosphere, while the neatly organized syrup bottles and glassware give it a professional café-style appearance. The variety of flavored syrups offers plenty of options for customized drinks, and the clean white shelving makes everything easy to access and visually appealing. The setup feels both elegant and functional, making it perfect for serving specialty coffees, lattes, and other beverages. The decorative touch on the upper shelf adds personality and style, creating a welcoming space for customers or guests. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a premium coffee experience! ☕✨

Versatile Room Divider With Easy Assembly and Strong Coverage
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
I picked up this Siebwin 3-panel folding room divider mainly for privacy and room separation, and overall it works very well. Assembly is very straightforward, and the divider can be set up, taken apart, and stored without much effort. The fabric quality feels good, and the frame construction is stronger and more stable than expected. The support tubes especially feel well built and help keep the divider standing securely. One feature I really liked is the flexibility of the design. The panels can be used together as a complete divider or separated depending on the setup and available space. That makes it much more versatile for different room layouts or temporary privacy needs. The coverage is also very good, and the size matches the manufacturer’s description accurately. The fabric blocks light and background visibility well enough to provide solid privacy without feeling overly heavy. The wider feet also help improve stability compared to thinner folding dividers. Another positive detail is that everything arrived complete with no missing parts or damaged pieces, which made assembly much easier and faster. Compared to cheaper privacy screens, this one feels more durable and easier to customize depending on the situation. In terms of value for the money, it feels like a very practical and worthwhile purchase considering the size, flexibility, and build quality. Overall, a versatile and well-built room divider with easy assembly, strong privacy coverage, stable construction, complete included parts, flexible panel configuration, and excellent everyday functionality.
