- Is this a tent or just a tarp?
- It is a flat tarp, not a framed tent. You pitch it with poles, trees or stakes you supply, or use it as a ground sheet or cover.
- How big is the 3m x 3.65m size?
- About 10 by 12 feet, enough to cover a large tent footprint, a small trailer or a woodpile.
- Does it come with poles, stakes or rope?
- No. Plan on buying stakes and cord separately, and poles if you want a freestanding shelter.
- Can I use it as a backpacking shelter?
- It works, but it is much heavier and bulkier than silnylon or Dyneema tarps. Most buyers use it for car camping or utility work.
- Will it hold up in strong wind?
- The reinforced edges help, but grommets can pull out in gusts. Use all grommets and add guy lines for a tight pitch.
- Is it breathable?
- No. Polyethylene traps moisture, so expect condensation underneath in cold or humid conditions.
