glamping tarp Ultralight Flat Tarp 7' x 9'

Tie-out layout

The tarp has 17 tie-outs across the ridge, perimeter, and panels. One panel tie-out sits centered within each side of the tarp's body; these help resist wind loading and let you open up more space underneath.

Note: two of the ridge tie-outs/hang loops sit at different distances from each end. This lets you use either end as the head-end. Some inners pitch better when the head apex clips further inward than the foot apex, or vice versa. It also gives you more flexibility for an improvised beak: when you use a tie-out as the new ridge endpoint, one distance may work better than the other for a given site.

Tie-out design

Each tie-out uses a cord loop rather than direct attachment. The loops take the wear from staking and guying, and when they eventually show signs of use, they're user replaceable. All tie-outs are reflective, making them easy to spot when you're setting up or moving around camp in the dark. Ridge tie-outs include hang loops for suspending an inner (bivy or net tent), and you can also clip to any perimeter tie-out loop.
