Support mid-line FE and remaining corners in air on Lee side. Support points E, F, G, and H in the air, secure corners to ground. Greater headroom, straighter walls, but 'angle' the slope of roof or rain and debris will collect. The DD Tarp 3x3 - UV50+ is made from material that deflects over 98% of UVA and UVB - sun rays that can be harmful with prolongued exposure. Square up floor plan by securing the stake points of the partial groundsheet triangles AEI and DGH. This helps locate stake points of other walls.
A: Tent and Fly stakes designed for 'hard ground' are often no more than a metal spike, and can pull out if the ground is softened by rain. Tent and Fly stakes designed for 'soft ground', have shafts with an 'angled' or 'star' cross-section, and grip any sort of ground better than 'spike' stakes do - they may be harder to hammer in, but they're harder to get out as well! A: The Tarp-shelter doesn't NEED to look 'geometrical' to work, but it will work better if the walls are taut and straight, rather than limp and saggy. Just as a 'ridgepole' in an A-Frame tent keeps the roofline straight and improves the stability of the structure, so too, can a framework of poles or taut ropes (internal or external) improve a Tarp-shelter's stability. Extra ground stakes will help, as will a 'daisy-chained' rope. Liquid Fuel Stoves Explore our selection of liquid fuel stoves, perfect for outdoor trips.

Read More Fancy making a tarp shelter, but need your walking poles for...well, walking?

A: Tarp-shelters are simple shelters made from a Vertical Support System, rope, ground stakes, a single tarp (fabric or plastic), and ingenuity. Face point of bottom triangle AWAY from the wind, and secure the 3 corners of the bottom triangle to ground. This tarp provides shelter not only from the sun, but from stormy and rainy conditions too - just like the rest of our range of tarps. Second Top - single overhead hanging support. Usually from an overhanging tree branch, or from a rope line. About 6 inches (15 cm) in from all 4 sides of the tarp, make a crease line. This will become the line at which the groundsheet ceases to be the 'floor', and becomes the 'wall' of the tub floor.Walking Gaiters Walking gaiters offer a range of benefits that can help improve your walking experience. They are designed to keep your trousers clean and prevent rain and moisture from creeping up your leg. Read more Make a closed tent with real doors, and a partial groundsheet. Width of tent depends on tarp sides being exactly 1:2. Remaining corners of B and C come together to complete an awning for a pyramid lying on its side. They need support for best effect. With a centre pole to support the midpoint of the roof support, the Rain catcher becomes a semi-walled Mushroom fly. The amount of headroom gained isn't much, but it can help.

reinforced attachment points: The Tarp 3x3 - PRO adds an extra 2 attachment points, 1 on either side of the ridge-line, to give more options for peg and guy-out points.Made from hundreds of recycled plastic bottles; offering the same level of weather- proofing and strength of construction as you would expect from a DD Tarp, whilst also helping to keep single-use plastics out of our environment. A: First off, make paper models of the designs. When you have the basic concept down pat, go and buy the CHEAPEST plain tarp you can! Don't worry, it'll last long enough to learn with! And when you 'wear it out', you'll have a good excuse to go buy a better one (as well as a good idea of what you need for the particular design/s you want to use ;). Recycle the 'worn out' tarp into patches, 'grommet insertion' test facility, 'Rambo Raincoat', groundsheet, etc. ~HOWEVER~, if you include a tarp in your camping gear, buy a decent quality one, one that won't 'break' and cause problems when you're out in the bush. Angles on wall and roof can be varied, with a sloping trapezoidal set-up being stronger and more weather worthy than an elongated box. The given 'size' of a Tarp, is often the size of the fabric blank before hemming. This means that the final product may vary by a few inches from the stated size. This design helps keep things tidy and dry. Create a more comfortable living space by attaching a Mosquito Net to the edges of the Tub floor with clothes pegs.

Q: Well, can I cook near a Tarp-shelter, have a fire near one, or use any of those 'other forms of combustion' mentioned above near a Tarp-shelter? Fold in Half, then fold each Half into Thirds. Small rectangles are the end-third of each Half. The size of the end walls can vary as required.
