説明

A tarp is the cheapest structure you will ever own. Stretched between two trees it becomes a kitchen, a lounge, and a rain shadow, and it weighs less than the chair you would carry instead. What separates one tarp from another is not the shape. It is the coating and the stitching.

This one is cut from thickened 210D oxford cloth with a black coating on the underside. The black layer does two jobs at once: it blocks 98 percent of the light, and it holds back water at a 5000 millimetre rating, which is well above the 3000 millimetre figure most budget tarps quote at the seams. UPF 50+ means the same cloth that keeps the rain out also keeps the sun off a group of three or four people sitting underneath it. Two sizes are stocked, 400 by 300 centimetres and 500 by 440 centimetres, both in a light coffee tone that reads calm in photographs and stays cooler in direct sun than a dark canopy.

Pegs and guy ropes come in the bag. Poles do not, which is deliberate: most owners already carry trekking poles, and leaving them out keeps the pack lighter and the price honest. Rig it high for shade, rig it low for weather, and it earns its place in the boot.

Weather is not a forecast. It is a decision you pack for.

Where It Belongs

Camp kitchens and communal shelters where a group needs shade and a dry place to cook; hammock and bivvy setups that want a ridge line overhead; beach and picnic use where UV protection matters more than weather cover; and van or motorcycle touring where the shelter has to pack small enough to live under a seat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are poles included?

No. The package contains the tarp, pegs, and guy ropes. Most people rig it with trekking poles, a couple of cut branches, or two trees, which keeps the whole setup lighter and cheaper.

Q: How much rain can it take?

The cloth is rated at 5000 millimetres of water resistance, well above the 3000 millimetre figure common in this price range. Pitch it with a slope toward one corner so water runs off rather than pooling.

Q: Which size should I choose?

The 400 by 300 centimetre size covers a kitchen setup for two or three people. The 500 by 440 centimetre size is the group shelter, comfortable for four seated adults with gear underneath.

Q: Does the black coating make it hot underneath?

The coating is on the underside and the outer face is light coffee, so the tarp reflects on top and blocks glare below. That combination runs cooler than a tarp that is dark on both faces.

Q: Is it UV resistant enough for a full summer?

The UPF 50+ rating and 98 percent shading rate are designed for sustained sun exposure on camping and beach trips. It is not a permanent shade structure, so store it dry between trips.

Q: How small does it pack?

It rolls down to roughly the size of a sleeping bag and fits a pannier or the bottom of a pack. There are no metal frames or clips to add bulk.

The EastSupplier Promise

EastSupplier publishes the waterproof figure and the shading rate because those are the two numbers that decide whether a tarp works. The dimensions on this page come from the supplier data sheet. If the cloth, size, or coating does not match what arrives, the return window applies.

Packs down small for 210D fabric

Stuffs into a side pocket with room left. The coating has not rubbed off after four trips.

Grommets every metre help

Plenty of anchor points, though guy lines are not included, so budget for a set.

Survived a windy night off the lake

Ridge line and corner webbing are reinforced. It flapped but nothing tore at the tie outs.

Blackout coating really cuts the heat

Pitched it as a sunshade over the tent and the difference under it was immediate. UPF claim feels honest.
