Backpacking Tarp Options & Setup Guides

For more detailed information about tarp fabrics, tie-out hardware, configuration, accessories, and maintenance, see the Backpacking Tarp Options Guide (opens in a new tab). For setup guidance, see the Tarp Setup Basics (opens in a new tab).

Center Pole Reinforcement

A reinforced area on the underside of the tarp allowing you to use a trekking pole to support the tarp. This allows for more versatility in pitching options. Do not use the pointed end of the trekking pole to support the tarp. Place the pointed end in the ground and use the rounded handle of the trekking pole to support the tarp.

Sizing and Coverage

Choose length and width for the area you want to shelter. Longer or wider configurations provide more coverage but increase finished weight and packed size. For hammock use, consider coverage beyond the hammock ends and along its sides.
