DD Hammocks - DD Tarp 3x3 - Coyote Brown - Lightweight and 100% Waterproof Tarp Tent with 4x Pegs and Guy Lines for Camping Scouts and Bushcraft Adventure

Product Information

Secure an edge (AB or CD) to ground on Windward side. Support mid-line FE and remaining corners in air on Lee side. Turn two middle sections into sloping wall and roof by supporting the fold line between them in the air, and also supporting the fold line between the 'roof' segment and the last Quarter in the air. reinforced attachment points: The Tarp 3×3 – 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. Fold shown at Half-way mark. In most Real Life cases, the fold line will depend on the amount of ground cover required...

tough reinforced attachment points: 16 around the sides and corners, and 3 along the center (ridge line) 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.

Multi Fold' corner C will be the top/peak. The large middle triangle CEF will be an end wall, while the two smaller long sided triangles BCE and CDF will be door flaps. Triangle AEF will become a partial groundsheet. Pitch as Body Bag above, but support free ends of last end-third section in air on Lee side as an awning. A downward angle aids weather control. metal eyelets placed on each outer attachment point to allow the DD Tarp 3×3 Pro to be used with poles, or pegged tightly onto the ground. This design 'floats' a pyramid shaped fly in the air, with enough ground clearance to let the breeze through underneath.

To keep the ground fold on the Windward edge straight, reinforce with a taut rope running along the fold inside the tent. Pitch midline AC along supporting rope. Secure corners B and D to ground. Stretch out points E and F, and secure to ground with ropes.

x 10' Tarp gives a Canvas Gunyah with 60° walls, 4.082 high, with floor space that expands from 4.714 x 4.714 in the centre, to more beneath the 14.142 awnings (4.714 x 9.428 overall). 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.
