Tarp and shelter FAQs.
What size tarp do I need?
The ideal tarp size depends on your intended use. A 5x7 ft tarp works well for solo shelters or gear protection, while a 10x10 ft tarp provides ample space for a two-person setup. For larger group shelters or cooking areas, 12x16 ft tarps offer extended coverage and more versatile configurations.
How do I set up a tarp?
To set up a tarp shelter, choose a location with stable ground and natural anchor points like trees. Use guylines and stakes to create tension, adjusting the pitch to match weather conditions. A low, angled setup blocks wind and rain, while a high, open design provides shade and airflow.
How do I hang a tarp?
Use strong anchor points, such as trees or trekking poles, to suspend your tarp shelter. Secure guylines with adjustable knots like the taut-line hitch for easy tensioning. If trees aren’t available, create a ridgeline using poles and stake down the corners to ensure stability in changing conditions.
