Foxelli Rain Tarp – Hammock Rain Fly, 12ft Lightweight Camping Tarp, Waterproof Backpacking Tarp Shelter with Included Extra Long Guy Lines & Stakes

It appears that the fabric is of good quality. However, the text makes no mention of the size. My apathy for not inspecting each photograph. Only 12' is mentioned in the description. 11'7" x 8'11" is the size. In comparison to a 12 x 12 tarp, this means a significant reduction in square footage. Furthermore, only two tent stakes are included. There were a total of four ropes that were required, one for each. They included a free gift (a flashlight) in the package. But it's so unreliable that I wouldn't trust it to walk down the street with me. This tarp is required for camping but not for hammock use. Instead of diamond, I required square. Worst of all, I'll be leaving soon and will have to complete this task. The seller should include the true dimensions in the text description rather than relying on a picture to tell the truth.

There are many different types of tarps available, each with a different price range. I have a more expensive tarp and wanted to see how it compared to the Foxelli. I'm not concerned with weighing things, so I didn't weigh the tarps, but they were both compact, and the Foxelli was just as simple to stow. I'll eventually upgrade the guylines, but it's not a major issue. I'm going to buy two more of these to outfit my entire family for our buffalo river backpacking trips. If you purchase this tarp, you will have saved enough money to upgrade your beer brand!.

Please keep this in mind - This isn't a tarp that can be used for anything. The diamond's ridge line extends further than the diamond's side wings. br>The Foxelli ad specifications are better than many on Amazon for tarps, but the pressure head of water is not listed; The tarp is made of ripstop polyester, which means it won't absorb water and sag when used as a hammock camping tarp. Not as a tarp for firewood from a big box store. br>The "ridge line," which is formed by the diagonally opposed tie outs used to suspend the tarp, is approximately 12 feet long. br>To properly suspend the tarp, you'll need trees spaced about 15 feet apart. br>A diamond cut means you'll have triangular-shaped protection on each side that's about 6 feet long from tip to tip. This means you can hang the tarp at about 6 feet high and guy out the sides at 45 degrees with 4 foot long guy line cords from the wing corners to ground it. br>It's a dingy silver color. That appeals to me. It blends in with the environment and may even reflect some heat. br>The provided cords are superior to some others. They're white and mirrored - Day or night, this is a great way to "see" before "tripping. " Adjustment is also made possible by triangular Line Locks. br>The Stakes (2) that are provided are "Y" and well-made. 7" long and suitable for most types of terrain. (In really rocky/skree/hard ground, I use a steel spike stake to dig a starting hole. ) br>The total weight of the package is just over a pound. br>Comes with a stuff sack large enough to hold the tarp after use, as well as guys, stakes, and other accessories. br>br>Anything I don't like? The corners are reinforced, but instead of reinforced webbing loops, the tie points are grommets. Grommets irritate me because they are prone to tearing. So I lark's head 1/8" lengths of shock cord through the grommet at each corner, then lark's head the guy lines or the tree lines to those shock cords. Using a ridge line cord and Prusik knots on the ridge line to toggle to the shock cords lark's headed to the corner grommets is another option for suspension - This allows for adjustments by sliding the tarp along the ridge line. br>br>I believe this tarp is suitable for "good weather" camping. That is camping when heavy rains and winds are unlikely, but shade, as well as protection from spring and fall rains and morning dew (and nuts falling from trees), is required - For the majority of overnight camping trips, this is sufficient.

Knowing it was going to rain, I purchased this rainfly for a backpacking trip. The rainfly appears to be made of a solid material that does not allow any water to pass through. The ropes they provide for securing the rainfly's sides are very nice, and they have reflective strips on them, so they stand out even in low light. br>br>One of the few flaws I discovered was that the rainfly was too small for my hammock (check the dimensions). Also, keep in mind that the stakes aren't made of metal, which isn't ideal but does help you save weight in your pack.

Because I didn't have any water in my system when I woke up. My friend, on the other hand, was not so lucky. br>br>For my first ever night "hammocking," I purchased a hammock and this rain tarp. In Kauai. Throughout the night, it rained intermittently. I stayed dry in my hammock all night, listening to the raindrops patter. (My friend's rain tarp didn't work out as well. ) br>br>Another fantastic point: 4 white rope ties and 2 small stakes were included with the hammock. As a result, it gives you flexibility in terms of where and how you hang it. It even squished back into its original packaging. This is something I strongly suggest. br>br>.

This tarp suits my needs perfectly. I usually do not write reviews until I have used a product one or more times, but I have examined this tarp and pitched it in my yard, and I am 100% sure that% The only flaw is that I wish there were more grommets. br>br> This isn't a big deal because I can use other methods if necessary. I appreciate the effort to keep costs low, and if that means using less hardware, so be it. In addition, there is a reduction in weight. br>br>I really like the stakes that come with it, and I'm going to put them to the test to see how long they last, which I'm not sure about. br>br>When I have more to say, I will!.

During a downpour! This tarp was purchased for a recent camping trip with our family in N. Michigan. It was a precautionary measure in case it rained. And it rained, girl! To build a shelter over our cooking area, we used two long poles that we purchased separately. This tarp did a fantastic job. Everything went according to plan. It kept the rain off our trip and stood up to some strong winds. After that, we used it as a large blanket on the beach on our last day there. We packed it back into its original bag after it shook clean when we left. It may only be a tarp, and there are plenty of them out there, but unlike the hardware store variety, this one folds up small and compact when not in use, and it's durable enough to last us several years. We're a satisfied client.
