DD Hammocks - DD Tarp 3x3 - Olive Green - Lightweight, 100% Waterproof Tough Shelter with Pegs & Guy Lines for Camping Bushcraft & Hiking

Been searching for a good tarp for a long time now, I've tried so many but finally I've found one that actually is waterproof and strong. Used this tarp while wild camping in Scotland for a week and it's still going strong with no issues. If you're looking for a strong, robust and easily stored tarp then look no further! Will definitely be buying another one soon. Easy to set up, lightweight and extremely stable in strong winds once fully tied up.

Great piece of kit, you will not buy better, could do with a couple extra pegs, I have purchased this before (19 yrs ago) only reason I am buying again is because my first one has gone missing, so the price is very economical as mine lasted 10 yrs and is still going as it’s been knicked,

DD Hammocks have been in the tarp and hammock game for a long time. That only happens because they make quality gear. They are popular for a reason. They might not be the cheapest on the market but high quality never is. The material is strong. It has loads of tie out points that are very well sewn on with strengthening sections to boost that reliability even more. I've used this tarp to put over the front of my Wild Country Helm 2 tent to give me a bigger place to sit and cook if the weather is rubbish so I'm not stuck in my tent all day. I hold the front corners up with hiking poles and guy line everything down like a makeshift awning. The company also make a silicone version which is lighter than this one but it's more expensive. It could be worth the extra expense if you're going to be hiking a long way with it. Personally I will stick with this one.

Best shelter come tarp does the job perfectly every backpacker or survivalist needs this

So have a think, have you ever seen a Porche or Ferrari with £25 wheels and tyres? I'm guessing the answer is an obvious no! So this is probably one of the best tarps out there - it's strong, has decent tie points, but could be better, and everyone knows it's the brand everyone talk about. However, when it comes, it has 4 of the heaviest, cheapest, nastiest stakes you will ever see - and a couple of very short guy lines. The actaul anchor points are strong enough, but you will really struggle if you want to use a poll, there are no eye's. Over all, it IS the tarp you should be buying - it really is... But come on DD, add a couple of quid to the price and put at least 6 good, light, pegs in the bag with some long cordage.

Never experienced camping with a tarp before, but I will never look back now. Thanks to all the tie out points on this item, it can be hung in many different configurations. If you pre-set it up, you can have this out the bag and hung in a matter of minutes. Our first night we were battered by wind and rain, the tarp held up beautifully, retaining it's tautness throughout the night and, more importantly, kept us bone dry. The fabric feels pretty tough and durable, and the re-enforcement on the tie out points give me absolute confidence in their strength. The only downsides to the item are, it does weight more than I expected, but still lighter than our tent. The weight was not an issue at all though, and if it means it's more durable then I'm absolutely fine with it. Also, the included guy lines aren't the best and you'd likely need to purchase separate parachord. They're only about 2m long, and the fabric doesn't feel very strong. They suited fine for tying the tarp off to the ground, though they did stretch in the rain requiring re-adjustment. Overall, super happy with this item and would happily recommend it!

Couldn't be happier with this 3x3 Tarp from DD. The tie up points and seams are strong and it packs down very small. Once out in the woods the options were almost limitless for how to have it set up. I ended up going with my favourite, the plough point shelter and there was loads of room for my kit and myself. The only thing I would question is DD's description of the colour. They have it down as a "Coyote Brown" where I would say it's a bit darker than that and more of a chocolate brown but even so it blends in with the UK's autumn colours perfectly. It has 19 tie off points in all so you can adapt it to your surroundings in so many ways. It only comes with 4 guy ropes and 4 pegs but these are cheap enough to pick up online or at your local camping store. I added a further ten pegs and bought some paracord. The great thing about this tarp is it's potential for use in so many circumstances. Pack it up in your day bag for a quick shelter when hiking or take it with you on a family picnic in the park to provide some shade. At around £35 it's a great addition to your kit.

For the price you can’t go wrong. Have had this tarp up in the garden for a few weeks now. It has provided shelter against sun, wind and extremely heavy rain whilst I lay in my hammock during lockdown. It’s certainly very versatile with all the loops down the centre and around the edges. YouTube is excellent for teaching yourself the various possible configurations and also for refreshing your memory if, like me, you had forgotten how to set up a ridge line. It’s certainly lighter than one of those standard blue camping tarps, but perhaps not as robust - I wouldn’t use it as a ground sheet for example. As a lightweight shelter, however, I cannot fault it.

Works well with my DD Jungle hammock. Very good quality and value.

Super leggero e ottima resistenza alla pioggia per essere così sottile. Per strapparlo dovete davvero impegnarvi o commettere errori grossolani (ma anche in quel caso molto probabilmente reggerebbe, con me l'ha fatto :D) Usato per 4-5 mesi nei boschi durante un'uscita alla "into the wild" L'ho usato in tutti i modi possibili (non quelli mostrati dalle foto, ma i "miei" modi possibili) e non mi ha mai deluso. L'ho usato sotto una tettoia per coprirmi dal vento, sulle piante a due e tra metri da terra, avvolto parzialmente a delle piante, e infine in modo normale come tutti i comuni mortali. Niente, nemmeno una piega. L'unica cosa a cui dovete prestare attenzione è che il tessuto non si buchi. Mi spiego: dopo qualche tempo ho iniziato a notare dei piccolissimi buchini, subito rattoppati con nastro adesivo americano. Il problema è che non lo avevo ancora "torchiato" quindi ho avuto e tutt'ora ho, l'impressione che sia un difetto di fabbrica o una reazione chimica, non saprei con certezza. Perché non si trattava di buchi o strappi palesemente dovuti a noncuranza, attrito o sfregamento, ma dei buchini talmente fini che solo la luce del sole ne ha rivelato la presenza. Ad oggi non sono ancora sicuro, ma sono davvero certo di non averli causati Detto questo, dal telo non è mai passata l'acqua. Si inumidisce se piove davvero tanto, ma se non è a contatto con altri materiali (tipo amaca o altro) e se posizionato bene, vi sentirete i re e le regine della foresta (a parte gli scherzi è davvero una bellissima esperienza, la consiglio a tutti!). L'ho usato in combinazione con amaca e imbottitura, e sono sempre stato all'asciutto tranne una volta, per mia mancanza di lungimiranza. Ecco l'errore: Se usate un'amaca, o se ci sono dei fili che passano orizzontalmente sotto il telo, e sono esposti alla pioggia, essi tenderanno per capillarità a portare l'acqua fino all'amaca e al sacco a pelo. per correggere questo problema è sufficiente applicare dei pezzi di cordino "appesi" al filo da entrambe le estremità, appena sotto la copertura del telo. in questo modo l'effetto capillarità si fermerà li e gocciolerà per terra senza arrivare all'amaca (va ovviamente fatto da entrambi i lati) Il prodotto (telo) si trova tutt'ora nello zaino insieme al resto. decisamente vale il prezzo che lo pagate, a patto di non trattarlo comunque con cura. E anche se fate qualche errore non vi tradirà facilmente. Consigliatissimo

First impression is satisfying. Good material i think the pegs are bit small. But you can neglect that. Overall prity deesant product

Rare to give 5 stars. This one earned it. Well made, excellent quality. Price point way better than aqua quest at the time of purchase. Wanted a tarp tent instead of tent and poles. One item many functions. DD came through way above expectations. Getting another soon.

Only used it once so far but it works.
