Tarps
Shopping Cart
The tarp is what will provide wind and water protection to you and your hammock. Think of it like the rainfly portion of a double-walled tent. All our tarps are made with caternary-cut edges to achieve a tighter pitch. They are available in either silnylon parachute fabric or our new spinn UL ultralight spinnaker cloth. All our tarps are elongated hexes. An elongated hex will provide more end coverage to your hammock than a true hex of the same width.
Our tarps have lightweight low-stretch polyester edge binding on the ridgeline and a rolled hem around the peremiter. The binding along the ridgeline makes for a low-stretch ridgeline seam that never needs to be seam sealed. Our silnylon tarps like to be pitched tight, so don’t be afraid to crank down on the corner guylines. (note, I leave the ridgeline guylines slightly loose, they will tighten up once the ground corners are pulled tight) Doing so will actually give the tarp a much tighter pitch and go along way towards keeping it tight all night long during wet weather. The silnylon tarps are available in slate/olive grey (dark grey with a slight green tint). This color makes for a very stealthy shelter in most forest environments.
Our Spinn UL tarps are offered in many of the same sizes as our silnylon tarps. These spinn tarps are several oz lighter than their silnylon counterparts. Spinn UL weighs about 1.0 osy vs. 1.3 for silnylon, being lighter, the fabric does have a lower tear strength. It's popular with those looking to shave a few oz from their tarp without sacrificing coverage.
The superfly is out largest tarp. It’s based on the dimensions of the Mamajamba, but with the doors built-in. The doors are similar in size to the removable doors of the Mamajamba. It also comes standard with 4 panel pulls. Panel pulls (unlike corner pulls) are located in the middle of the tarp body or panel. Since you pitch a large tarp in a somewhat steep A-frame for wind protection, the sides can be pushed inward quite a bit if hit broadside by heavy wind. A large tarp can actually be pushed in contact with the hammock fairly easily in even moderate wind, something you don’t want. The panel pulls add comforting stability in windy conditions and are greatly appreciated when needed.
The Asym-Diamond is our smallest most minimal tarp, offset side corners are oriented the way you sleep (on the diagonal). It's a one-piece design (no ridgeline seam).
Orders containing back-ordered items will ship as one order once the back-ordered item comes in (usually within 3 weeks). If you wish for in-stock items to ship sooner, you will need to place 2 seperate orders.

Door kits
We now make door kits for all our tarps. A door kit consists of 4 doors (2 for each end) that overlap to provide full 4-walled coverage. The doors attach via hooks and shockcord. Since the doors are removable, your tarp can convert right back to a regular hex tarp. This enables you leave the doors packed away in the stuffsac unless needed, just take coverage for one end, or leave them at home altogether.
We made a few spinn UL doors and found they don’t perform nearly as well as a silnylon door does. The silnylon door is stretchier so it is capeable of a tighter pitch than the spinn doors (opposite of how the tarps work, I know). The spinn doors stay just a little bit loose which makes them very noisy in even the slightest breeze. The silnylon doors stay tight, quiet, and pack smaller for only a slight weight penalty, but their performance is head and shoulders above their spinn counterpart. We’ve decided for now to only make silnylon door kits. We have also sourced a color of silnylon that matches the color of the spin tarps.
