Unigear Camping Tarp Waterproof Rain Fly, Lightweight Tent Shelter Canopy

Update December 2019: -Having used my tarps for over 18 months I can happily report that they have far exceeded my expectations.No leaks, no tears, no problems in the varied Irish outdoor environment where every type of weather is encountered.The attachment points have held up very well and show no signs of stress yet. Pegs are as good as they day they were received. I've replaced a number of the guy lines due to wear and tear but this is entirely acceptable as I've really put these tarps through their paces on both open land and in forestry. The tarp tent is my favourite configuration with the 3x3m size as it lends itself well to this set up. I've other configurations tried too but the tarp tent is probably the most versatile, especially in poor weather.I try to fold the tarps slightly differently after each use so as to avoid creasing repeatedly along the same lines. When they are dirty I simply wash them with clean water and NO detergent. Absolutely no sign of mould on any of them but I do always take the time to ensure that I unpack and dry them properly after each trip if they are damp or wet.The silver side when turned outwards during sunny weather was really brilliant when draped over my vehicle, especially the windscreen. It actually kept the inside of the car comfortably cool. I was surprised at the difference it made.Overall I cannot in any way fault these tarps and am putting my money where my mouth is and ordering more for my outdoor activities.Original Review: May 2018: -This is not what you would expect for the price you pay, it's way better!The tarp is extremely good quality with 8 decent attachment points that when used properly will not cause any issue. The eyelets are properly inserted and it's great that they are in the tapes rather than through the tarp itself. The tapes of a thick material that seems to be hard wearing and are very well attached with excellent stitching.The 6 supplied guy lines are ok, one I received had a frayed guy line but its no big deal. The 6 pegs supplied are sturdy but lightweight aluminium round pegs. A little on the short side but adequate in "normal" ground conditions, There is little danger of bending them as they are a decent diameter. The hook is good in that it is well formed and continues around in a proper semi-circle unlike most pegs that simply have a right angle bend on the end.The tarp being two sided (one silver and the other green in my case) offers the advantage of being able to turn the silver side outwards to reflect sunlight so as to offer decent shade. Turn the silver side inwards to reflect heat from fire or to reflect light from a lantern etc... I can testify to this from experience.It comes in an appropriately sized bag of the same material with a drawstring. The pegs and guy lines supplied are packed in with the tarp further contained in a smaller but suitably sized bag of the same material again with a drawstring. Due to the adequate sizing of both storage bags the tarp is easy to pack away again with ease.If this tarp is used and maintained properly then I would expect it to last as well as any of the more expensive tarps of a similar size. Mine will see much use in various configurations from family camping, Scout activities and wild camping so I do expect them to wear out with use but no more than any of the more expensive ones would for the same use.As I can afford more, I'll buy some extra ones to have for when I need them in the future. They are so affordable it is justifiable to keep one in our family vehicles as an emergency shelter, blanket, (these have a silver reflective side remember). They can have multiple uses and due to the compact packing and light weight I'd highly recommend they be carried for outdoor activities and can even be used as an emergency stretcher if the need arises (don't do this without the proper training and experience though...!)

Bought this tarp as camping in France and thought it would be useful. It doesn't come with poles but we already had some to use. Have used it as a tarp for shade while in the tent, to cover bikes in a thunderstorm and also as a screen. Really impressed it has held up really well, completely waterproof as far as we can see, has lots of useful points to attach to. We are very happy that we took a chance and bought it.

Once in a while you buy a product that is really satisfying to own and use. This for me is one of those products. I bought the largest of the sizes on offer and I’m glad I did as it allows a number of varying uses. With a couple of poles it can be attached to a tent as a generous covered area, useful in rain and sun. Alternatively it can be set up like an A frame tent and with two more poles it is a superb and lightweight event shelter. The whole thing is well made with lots of well reinforced loops and eyelets for attaching the numerous guy lines and pegs (8 of each in my set). Although I’ve yet to fully test it, it seems to be very waterproof and strong enough to resist moderate wind (depending on how you have it set up). Great for camping, picnics and even setting up in the garden if the weather looks iffy. The whole thing comes with a lovey peg bag and a stuff sack that is just big enough to get the whole lot into without too much compression. I’m now left wondering why I didn’t get one of these before.

I love this tarp. It's big, brilliant value and the included lines and pegs are actually pretty good (for that money I'd expected to end up binning them to be honest). To call it a tarp sells it short; it's not a rough woven plastic sheet, it's a tough water resistant sheet closer to the fabric of a tent or basha as used by the army. Seams are tough, maybe a little light through the stitching under tension but nothing too bad.Only downside is the brass eyelets are pretty shonky. Fine for most things but very careful using them on poles where they'd fit snugly over the end. 3 fell off the first time I used it, although I was able to bodge them back on. Still worth the money though. I added 6 poles to build the canopy shown in my image.

A godsend for our walking and wild camping trip to the Cairngorms. You will not regret taking one of these.Probably needs extra stakes, but will buy more.

I'm writing this sitting under the tarp at a picnic table during a heavy downpour and it is great! Pegs are not up to much but the tarp and guys are great. No leaks. Plenty of options for using poles and guys. Only the first use so can't comment on longer term durability. Reflective side seems to keep warmth in and would certainly reflect the sun's heat. Highly recommended.

As described had for covering cocktail bar very impressed with it easy to use work well for what I needed it for

Pretty heavy duty tarp with plenty of tie points but it is certainly heavier than it looks and takes up a fair bit of space in your pack.

This is an excellent canopy/shelter. Light weight and very well built. Every corner has reenforced stitching and a tan. Each tab is over stitched which is rare these days. Simple to use. Comes with tie downs and pegs, even the pegs have a point of the for easy use. I used it as an improvised shelter. I just ran a ridge line between two trees and it was that easy. After sweating it up I realized I didn’t have to set up a ridge line, there are two tabs on the center line that can be attached to the trees. Very well thought out product. Thai one is a little bit too big for what I was looking for but the kids will use it over their hammocks for sure.

Sono totalmente soddisfatto di questo acquisto.Premetto che, muovendomi prevalentemente in macchina per andare a fare camping, non sono stato particolarmente attento al peso, per cui non posso dare una valutazione in quel senso.Ho, però, potuto constatare la resistenza ad acqua e vento e le dimensioni. Utilizzato come copertura aggiuntiva per la mia tenda, così da ripararla da sole e pioggia. Ha resistito egregiamente a 2 giorni di forti temporali estivi: il telo non si è minimamente danneggiato e la parte sottostante era completamente asciutta.L'ho acquistato insieme a dei paletti modulari in modo da avere un'ampia possibilità di configurazione.

Franchement c'est une dinguerie il prend pas de place il est super léger par contre il est vraiment méga grand donc prévoir quand même des espaces plutôt dégagés en bivouac avec un arbre un peu mal placé comme il est grand ça peut gêner facilement et être galère mais moi qui suis souvent en bivouac avec un ami en tente on s'abrite tous les deux dessous large et ça nous laisse un coin pour se poser sur les petites chaises tranquille tout en étant abrité si on part en weekend ou plusieurs jours on bivouac et qu'il se met à pleuvoir, le seul bémol c'est peut-être les sardines qui sont vraiment super légères et qui ont l'air fragile, prévoir peut-être des bonnes sardines et un maillet autrement le reste nickel et on peut aussi prévoir des piquets il y a des œillets partout autour 👌🏼

High quality, very happy so far (2trips)
